He also was very knowledgeable about the law and took the time to explain to my options and he kept me in the loop throughout the process. I have since recommended him to friends who've come into the need for criminal defense work. His practice focuses a lot on DUI work and his work on my friend's case has been extraordinary. Mr. Appelman also has payment plans and his rates and fees are very fair for the market. In closing, I can't state anything better than this: he was able to get the monkey off of my back.

He advised he would write this letter; however, that did not happen at all. Perhaps he was too busy as he had pointed out over the phone. So, I decided to file in small claims court as he was no help at all and I needed to get things moving. I wrote to him and advised that I would be moving forward without the letter and he agreed that it would be a good idea. He recommended a woman named Audrey to serve the defendant and she has been an absolute nightmare. I honestly do not recommend either of them as this entire ordeal has been the absolute worst.

As the father, the most important aspect was getting my son the help he needed to beat the alcohol abuse issue. Mike made sure the help would be there as part of the negotiated settlement.

I have recently finally finished my divorce / custody / financials etc. etc. I am not a rich man…read morebut i do understand right from wrong and know the importance of having to be properly represented. My proceedings actually started 12 years ago with a different firm. I needed a change and found Mike Koenigsberger through a family friend. He and his associate Theresa worked for a different firm at the time. I hired him on an emergency and witnessed what I still to this day think of as a miracle. I believe at that time I watched the greatest performance from a lawyer and associate that a courtroom ever took on. He was better at being my lawyer than Michael jordan was at basketball , better than Eddie Van Halen was at guitar, and Walter Payton was at running the football. He disinagrated his opposition and I left that day with custody of my oldest son. He couldnt take on the rest of my divorce due to a full schedule but he thought long and hard and told me he knew of another firm that he believed was just as good as him. Steven Wittenbergs firm. I obviously trusted him , he made a call , drove me himself at that time over to meet Steven and his associate and I had my self a new law firm to represent me. I found that for someone to represent you there has to be a good fit Steven Wittenberg is absolutely brilliant , well spoke , willing to actually listen to ideas from his client and i must add honest as the day is long. He sticks to his word and never varied. He promised me and delivered exactly what he said he would. He would not allow me to take anything but the higher road and in the end it would be rewarded. I can not speak any higher of that mans dignity , ability as a lawyer , and professionalism. Did I forget that Steven has an associate named Katie Opal. Now things were slowing up for one reason or another , covid , etc ,etc. Katie was always there with Steven in court , on a conference call and knew my case as well as Steven. She started to take control of the case and I seen this little 110 pound soaking wet attorney take on seasoned lawyers from another big firm and consistently fight , argue , and go nose to nose , round for round with them and i never walked away thinking we just got beat. When Katie got going especially when there were topics that she felt passionate about , it was like a well written song , a well acted movie , a well thought out argument which just happened to be my life. I felt she was the ace up the sleeve that I needed and I cant put into words how well she represented me , fought for me , and most important actually cared about the final outcome of my divorce. She fit like a glove , never forgot about me , was always available to talk and she made a completly terrible situation like a divorce / custody manageable . Funny how certain people fall into your life and seem to fix things that you never thaught could be fixed. Katie ended up being just what my life needed. She is so so so smart , puts together legal jargon so it sounds like a poem, is so unbelievabley fiesty and just as honest as Steven. Never allowed me to sway. So If anyone is looking to be well represented you have to trust me. Look no further. A few years back Mike Koenigsbergerand Theresa joined Steven as a partner and there you go. Truly take your pick. A dream team. I have no problem speaking to anyone with questions. I really feel that strongly about this firm. Thank you all for helping straighten out my life , I wish you all the best in life and continue to do what God choose for you to do. To represent those that can not fight for themselves.

You'll find he has a great big smile, especially in court. He loves knowing your court case will drag on for years and there's nothing you can do about it except pay him every single month. What happens if you don't? I'm glad you asked. He'll withdraw as your counsel mid-case and file a motion with the court for unpaid attorney fees. The two years I waited for my case to be resolved is more painful than the ~$50K I paid to his firm. I hope you or your loved ones don't make the same mistake I did.

Granted my wife did a lot of the investigative work that forced her ex to settle, but that's also to Tom's credit because he certainly wasn't afraid to go to trial and handled her ex's attorney with fearless finesse. Tom was always a no-B.S. person, so don't go there looking for counseling or emotional hand holding. He's there to win your case. He's not rude, but you have to be prepared to understand that you have hired a litigator, not a paper pusher who just writes wills and trusts and does real estate closings. He can do that too, but his strength is in functioning as more than a basic "I can do it cheap" lawyer. I'd recommend him for serious work, you can probably get any mush from google to do the other stuff. Although like I said, it's not beneath him. The guy is a worker.

Abandoned in Open Court - Beware of Brad Erdman…read more Review: If you are looking for an attorney to protect your family and your assets, look elsewhere. I retained Bradley Erdman at Mirabella, Kincaid, Frederick & Mirabella, LLC (MKFM Law) for a child custody and financial enforcement case. On March 4, 2026, during an active custody status hearing, I asked him a few standard, clarifying questions about the court process and our strategy for enforcing a major financial judgment. Instead of answering me, Brad became completely dismissive and abruptly withdrew as my attorney right there in open court. He left me completely unrepresented in front of the judge during a critical moment in my custody case. A family law attorney is supposed to be your advocate during highly stressful times. Brad Erdman proved that if you ask questions or expect clear communication, he will cut and run, leaving you entirely exposed. I am now filing a formal grievance with the state disciplinary commission. Protect yourself and find counsel who actually honors their ethical obligations to their clients. #MKFMLaw #DuPageCounty #WheatonIL #FamilyLaw #DivorceAttorney #ChildCustody
