Testimonials
“We recently sold a condominium in the city of Chicago and engaged Michelle Golden of Mages & Price LLC Attorneys at Law as our attorney to handle the matter. What was expected to be a simple real estate sale became very complicated by extraordinary condominium association requirements which were further complicated by an extremely short closing time frame requested by the buyer.
Ms. Golden handled the matter with superior legal professionalism which allowed our property sale to close in less than a week. Further, due to Ms. Golden’s efforts to work closely with the Title company in advance of the closing, the actual closing and transfer of title was accomplished without any complications in a little more than an hour.
We appreciate Ms. Golden’s expert legal representation and highly recommend her and the firm of Mages & Price.”

“… Michelle Golden was able to prevail on my behalf.”
“Mages & Price was highly recommended to me by a prominent Lake Forest attorney who suggested they would be the best firm to argue my unique case. Although the court had never heard a case like mine, through diligent research and brilliant argument Michelle Golden was able to prevail on my behalf.”

“We are fortunate to have a partner in collecting our business receivables.”
“[We] have in the past like any business…performed quality services for individuals who were unwilling to pay for the services they received.
I appreciate that Michelle Golden and her law firm Mages and Price have been there to assist us in collecting those accounts receivable. We required and found a law firm that has sought to collect a reasonable amount without necessarily fighting it in court and in the public eye. Yet when required Michelle has [been] a tough courtroom advocate who has won . . . the battles. We are fortunate to have a partner in collecting our business receivables.”

“It’s with great pleasure that I can call Gary Mages my Attorney for the past 6 years. “
“It’s with great pleasure that I can call Gary Mages my Attorney for the past 6 years. Gary’s boutique style law firm really focuses on the client and they spend time getting to know your business so that they can work around your company. As a Real Estate developer, our firm buys many distressed properties with typical court cases that we have to resolve, which many people fear. Having confidence in your attorney to deliver and navigate makes navigating these waters easier and gives us a leg up on competition to take deals other people don’t want to deal with and making the most out of them. There have been many times where we faced uphill battles in court and Gary delivered results that far exceeded our expectations.”

“I haven’t found anybody else who can come close to the service he provides.”
“I have been dealing with Gary for over eight years. I haven’t found anybody else who can come close to the service he provides. He understands that home buyers are often nervous about the process, and he gives them all the time they need. They never feel like the clock is ticking when they call. Although I usually give two or three names for referrals to home buyers, when it comes to attorneys, I only give Gary’s name. There is nobody else.”

“Gary was consistently on top of every point …”
“I used Gary for the purchase of my first home, and most recently for the sale of that condo and the purchase of a new one. As a first time home buyer, I so appreciated Gary’s patience and thorough explanations of every step of the purchase process…Both of my recent transactions were difficult negotiations. However, Gary was consistently on top of every point and always followed up with me to keep me informed. I always felt that Gary had my best interests in mind, and in the end, my deals both ended well.”

“Michelle has my unequivocal recommendation.”
“As an attorney myself, when I needed an attorney, I chose Michelle Golden. It’s one of the best decisions I have made. Michelle’s courtroom demeanor, skill, and knowledge were great assets. As a trial attorney, I have watched many attorneys over the years – in and out of court. Some, with more years of trial experience, do not possess Michelle’s abilities. Also, she brings to any lawsuit a great sense of humor, unflappability, though preparation and common sense. Michelle has my unequivocal recommendation.”
