Attorney Information
Overview
Michael Crowe is a Director in the firm’s Litigation Department focusing on complex, multi-party commercial litigation, shareholder disputes, and high-exposure regulatory matters. He represents investors and business clients in lawsuits across state and federal courts from early risk assessment through dispositive motion practice, trial, and resolution.
Michael’s practice centers on representation of clients where legal strategy must be tightly integrated with business and operational considerations, including breach of fiduciary duty, fraud and business tort claims, breach of contract, and issues arising under federal regulatory schemes.
Before joining Huck Bouma, Michael was litigation counsel at Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP, where he represented financial institutions in a wide range of commercial and regulatory disputes. His work involved advising clients on litigation risk, compliance exposure, and strategies to minimize liability while preserving business objectives.
Known for his disciplined approach and pragmatic judgment, Michael develops litigation strategies that are both legally rigorous and commercially focused. He partners closely with clients to navigate complex disputes efficiently, with an emphasis on early case positioning, leverage in motion practice, and favorable resolution outcomes.
Michael lives in Naperville with his wife and daughter. Outside the office, he spends time playing golf, fishing in Alaska, and riding his motorcycle when Midwest weather allows.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
