“Michael DiDomenico was a consummate professional throughout the process of my divorce. I spoke with multiple attorneys before settling on Michael. It was immediately clear from our first meeting that he was extremely knowledgeable and most importantly, a very trustworthy individual. Michael truly wanted to help me through this difficult time and took on the stress of dealing with my ex-husband. I highly recommend him and his colleagues at Lake Toback DiDomenico.” – L.K.


“Sean is an expert in family law. Despite being fairly young, he is well-known for his encyclopedic knowledge of Illinois law. When waiting in court for my case to be called I saw other lawyers double his age ask him for advice on legal issues in their cases. Sean has a case for every issue at the top of mind. I’m a business and class action litigator by trade and frequently litigate against Ivy League lawyers from top international law firms and Sean’s brief writing is on par with the best of them. If you have a complicated issue or an appeal Sean is the man to hire!” – A.L

Steve and Alan Toback are total professionals, highly skilled and experienced at getting clients through challenging times.”

“Sean handled an appeal on a ruling, then stepped in on the main case after my attorney quit 4 weeks before trial! He was able to make more headway in the case in a couple months, than the previous counsel did in 5 years. Sean is professional, ethical, bright, hard working, and personable. He takes the welfare of his clients seriously. I highly recommend him.” – Anonymous

“When we met Sean, all our worries were addressed because he listened to all our concerns and talked us through the entire process. We came to realize that when you have the right attorney representing you, it is all about partnership. My husband often said, “Sean is our quarterback. We need to trust the plays that he is putting out there and support him. He knows what he is doing. Well, my husband’s analogy was correct!” – Anonymous

“If it were not for Michael G. DiDomenico, I would not have custody of my son today. Michael was masterful in managing my case from beginning to end, even pro-actively coordinating with me while I was out of the country. Perhaps the most memorable moment was when he recited the detailed text of a law from memory in front of three appellate judges. Not only I but everyone in the court room was stunned.”
– V.A


“The experience was excellent. They were able to make more progress in a handful of weeks in the case than previous counsel made over several years. They provided intelligent, candid advice and genuinely looked out for the interests of their client.”

“I would absolutely recommend Lake Toback DiDomenico to others. If you’re serious about getting divorced in Cook County, tired of getting the perpetual run around by your ex and the courts, call Alan. He is a skilled negotiator and well connected. We moved the other side, who had been stalling for years, to settlement in a matter of months. Excellent experience. Great strategy. Perfect execution.”
– P.L


“I had a positive connection when I met with Alan Toback. He came across as knowledgeable and successful in the family law space. I have recommended the firm to others and have no doubt that they have received the same level of expertise and counsel.”
– D.C


“After an unsatisfactory experience with prior counsel, it was immediately apparent that Alan listened intently and grasped the substance of the key issues in my situation. After doing some preliminary research, Alan believed he could achieve the outcome I sought. After starting a trial, my ex sought settlement and after 2 days in negotiations in lawyer assisted private mediation, I had the outcome I desired. Alan and his team were extraordinarily persuasive and grounded in the facts throughout the process. I would not hesitate to work with him or Lake Toback DiDomenico again, though I hope that won’t be necessary.”
