Experience
Mikhail (Michael) B. Ilin, Esq. MBA.
Mikhail’s approach to the practice of family law and special needs advocacy is based on compassion and understanding of each client’s unique needs and circumstances. He served as a Student Attorney at Suffolk University Law School Clinic. Soon after graduation from Law School, he answered his calling to teach. As a member of the adjunct faculty at Suffolk University Law School, he teaches Advanced Legal Writing and Consumer Law courses as well as Business Law and Ethics at the undergraduate level at Sawyer School of Management, Suffolk University. Prior to joining Melcher Law PC, Mikhail practiced in the areas of Autism Advocacy, Family Law and Consumer Law.
At Melcher Law, Mikhail combines his experience and knowledge to craft specialized pre- and post-nuptial agreements for people who are married and/or contemplating marriage. A well-crafted nuptial agreement can lessen the pressures of a future divorce and instead, allow couples and families to focus on their marriage and children.
