Our Philosophy

We believe it is important for our clients to have well-informed, realistic expectations regarding their cases. One of our greatest priorities is to educate you about the issues at hand and the legal processes involved so that you know as much as possible about what to expect, rather than being left with the stress of uncertainty. We will be honest with you about all possible outcomes, including the worst-case scenario, but we will always strive for a better result. We also maintain open lines of communication with our clients so that you can easily reach us with any questions you have.

We believe in focusing on solutions that meet your personal needs. When we take your case, we will ask you to complete a questionnaire to provide us with the information we need to understand your goals and priorities, and then we will draft a proposed settlement agreement and/or parenting plan with those priorities in mind. This serves as an important starting point that guides our approach to resolving your case.

Divorce and Family Law Services in Chicago

We have the knowledge and experience to help with many different family law matters, both through courtroom litigation and out-of-court counsel and negotiations. We represent clients in all aspects of the divorce process, including the division of marital property and spousal support determinations. We have served clients from a range of economic backgrounds, and we can work with you to address complicated financial issues including asset dissipation, business and property valuation, retirement account division, and tax and insurance implications.

We also assist with family law issues outside of the divorce process, including paternity determination for unmarried parents, prenuptial agreements for couples contemplating marriage, and postnuptial agreements for married couples looking to protect their assets. Additionally, we can obtain orders of protection for people who have been subject to domestic abuse and represent parents and other relatives in guardianship proceedings for minor children.

Some family law issues affect divorced and unmarried parents alike, and we can help with these as well. We provide guidance and representation in the creation of parenting plans, particularly when it comes to the important matters of parenting time and parental responsibilities. We also help with orders for basic child support and other child-related expenses, and we can represent you in your petition for enforcement or modification of your custody or support order after it has been established.
