Mazek Law Group LLC

Michael Mazek has had a passion for the legal profession since childhood, when he began managing rental properties for his Polish-immigrant parents as a teenager. This early entry into the Chicago landlord-tenant marketplace gave him a unique perspective on the law. Mr. Mazek saw that non-native English speakers and immigrants had a disadvantage in court. He also recognized that affordable housing is central to any municipality's success. Mr. Mazek's path into the legal profession was spurred by these inequalities. After graduating from the University of Illinois at Chicago, he earned his J.D. degree from The John Marshall Law School, where he was a member of the John Marshall Law Review and The Journal of Computer and Information Law. In addition, Mr. Mazek was a valuable contributor to The John Marshall Fair Housing Legal Clinic, representing clients in housing discrimination cases. His most significant contribution at the clinic was as co-counsel for successful appeal of Godinez v. Lackey-Sullivan. This landmark decision clarified whether Section 8 housing vouchers qualified as "sources of income" for purposes of the City of Chicago Fair Housing Ordinance. In 2009, Mr. Mazek launched his private boutique firm, Mazek Law Group, LLC, to provide high quality legal representation at affordable rates. He represents clients in the areas of real estate transactions, real estate litigation, estate planning, probate, criminal defense, and bankruptcy. Mr. Mazek is admitted to practice in the state of Illinois.
