Legal Services for Residential Real Estate in Chicago and the Surrounding Suburbs

Helping Buyers, Sellers, and Homeowners Make Confident Moves

Buying or selling a home is one of the most important financial decisions you’ll ever make. At Kolpak Law Group, we guide clients across Chicago  and the surrounding suburbs through every step of the real estate process with clarity, precision, and hands-on support. Whether you’re purchasing your first home, selling property, or navigating a multi-unit, investment property or complex sale, our attorneys bring deep experience and personal attention to every deal. We will attend your closing in person, ensuring you have a trusted advocate sitting beside you during the final steps of your transaction, or we will make arrangements for pre-signing and remote closing, if preferred and workable for your transaction.
