Michael Delcour
Attorney · Illinois and Colorado
About me
I'm a licensed attorney in Illinois and Colorado. For 15 years I practiced federal white-collar criminal defense at The Eichner Law Firm, in matters before DOJ, SEC, IRS, OFAC, and congressional committee staff, including court-appointed work under the Criminal Justice Act. I also served as the firm's Technology Director. From 2023 to 2025 I worked as a contract attorney through Delcour Law LLC.
Today I'm Data and Innovation Manager at Prairie State Legal Services, a nonprofit providing free civil legal aid across 36 counties in Northern and Central Illinois.
Delcour Law is not currently accepting new clients. Former clients can reach me via LinkedIn.
