Not sure which area your situation falls under? The intake form asks you to describe what's going on and routes it for us. You don't need to pick the right category before starting.
Eviction defense at all stages, RLTO (Residential Landlord and Tenant Ordinance) claims, security deposit recovery, habitability and repair demands, lease review, fair housing matters.
Learn more →Family-based adjustment of status, naturalization, DACA renewal, affirmative asylum, Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA), removal defense, and derivative citizenship analysis.
Learn more →Uncontested and contested divorce, allocation of parental responsibilities, orders of protection, parentage, and family-based matters affecting housing, benefits, or immigration status.
Learn more →Misdemeanor and felony defense through plea, trial, or dismissal. Expungement and record sealing. Representation at all stages from bond hearing to sentencing.
Learn more →City of Chicago administrative hearings (CDAH), IDES unemployment appeals, Social Security and SSI appeals, DHS benefits hearings (SNAP, Medicaid, TANF), and professional license defense.
Learn more →General civil litigation, condo and HOA disputes, small claims, and related civil matters. Fee-shifting and contingency structures available where applicable.
Learn more →We direct most protest-related arrests to NLG mass defense. MALC takes protest-adjacent individual representation where mass defense isn't the right structure — serious charges, collateral consequences, civil rights litigation.
Read more →Powers of attorney (property and healthcare), living wills, and guardianships of adults and minors. We handle uncontested matters as flat-fee engagements and contested guardianships as litigation.
Learn more →Representation for homebuyers, homesellers, and homeowners refinancing. Residential transactions only — we do not handle commercial real estate or represent residential landlords.
Learn more →Start with the intake form. You describe what's happening in your own words; we route it from there. People dealing with overlapping issues — eviction tied to a benefits cut, immigration tied to a criminal charge — are exactly who this practice is built for.
