Hello, my name is Mike Doetsch. I am the owner of Inspect, Inc, a home inspection company out of Barrington, IL. I was born and raised in Mt. Prospect, graduated from Fremd high school in Palatine, and I have remained in the northwest suburbs, so I am very familiar with Chicago and the surrounding areas. I began doing home inspections in the late ‘90s, and in 2001 I joined Inspect, Inc. which has been operating since 1983. I liked Inspect’s standards so much that when the opportunity arose, I purchased the company. I am a fully insured, state-licensed home inspector and a member of the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI), the largest professional organization for home inspectors. My focus is on educating buyers about how to operate and maintain their homes, and that’s why I really enjoy working with first-time home buyers. I feel that it’s not enough just to inspect a house; I want to leave my clients with the ability to care for their home, their biggest investment. When I’m not working, my wife Cindy and I enjoy taking our beagle, Maggie, out into the local forest preserves and boating down the Fox River. I also like to spend time on my own home, working in the yard and on projects around the house. I hope that in some way, I help my clients ease into their new homes, and that they enjoy their own homes as much as I enjoy mine.

All inspectors and the company are licensed by the State of Illinois and adhere to the Standards of Practice of the Illinois Home Inspector License Act.Client education is our goal and the primary reason for an inspection. While one benefit of an inspection is to identify specific deficiencies or concerns about the property, it is more important for the client to receive a complete, objective evaluation and overview of the entire property-both good and bad-to help them make an intelligent and informed buying decision. We are part of a team of real estate professionals including realtors, lenders, attorneys, and appraisers, all of whom work in the clients interest to make the home buying process more manageable. We are recognized by both clients and real estate professionals as “the inspectors of choice,” telling us that our home inspections provide a level of confidence and knowledge critical to smart home buying.The company goal of educating property buyers/owners about their properties and to ease buyer’s/owner’s remorse has proven successful with more than 16,000 inspections completed.

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 Mazek a unique perspective on the law. He 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. His path into the legal profession was spurred by these inequalities.

So after attending Chicago public schools from kindergarten through high school, Mazek graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago with a B.A. in English-Writing and a minor in Linguistics. During his time at UIC, Mazek was the recipient of the prestigious Edward Moskal Journalism Scholarship. He then earned his J.D. from The John Marshall Law School, where he was a member of the noted law review, The Journal of Computer and Information Law.

In addition, 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, Mazek launched his private boutique firm, Mazek Law Group, to provide high quality legal representation at affordable rates. The practice is located in the North Center neighborhood of Chicago and handles cases in the suburbs, Chicago and collar counties. In 2015 and 2016, Mazek was awarded the Rising Star distinction by Super Lawyers. 

Mazek represents clients in the areas of real estate transactions (real estate closings, short sales, foreclosures and more), real estate litigation (adverse possession, lot line disputes, condo association conflict), estate planning (wills, trusts and other estate planning instruments), probate, criminal defense (federal criminal defense, state criminal defense, traffic, DUI and more) and bankruptcy (consumer, Chapter 7, Chapter 13).

Mazek has given presentations for real estate offices and attorneys. He is a regular contributor to The Norton Annual Survey of Bankruptcy Law. He lives in Edison Park (Chicago), Illinois.
