Our Simple Philosophy: To Help You

It is our job to help our clients navigate through life’s unpredictable legal struggles. We stand by our clients steadfastly, taking them step by step through that process so that they can journey back to a life with less strife. We take the privilege of that role very seriously, in duty, commitment, skill and attention.

Our First Contact-Policy

One of our Chicago divorce and family law lawyers will respond to your initial contact or inquiry. You deserve more than just an administrative response.

We Treat Clients as One of a Kind

“YOU” are not a category – you are distinct and unique. With that belief system as a priority,  we design business law and family/divorce law strategies that should feel custom-made for your particular situation with your end-goals being our guide.

For our Family Law and Divorce Law clients, that means we will see your family dynamic-your children- your financial assets- your support concerns, as unlike anyone else’s. We will listen to what you need and desire and help you understand the nuances in this very delicate area of the law.

For our Business Law and Business Litigation clients, that means, we will take a wholistic approach to how your business touches on all aspects of your life. We will ask case-specific questions about your ownership, partnership, family,estate planning and other concerns. We want to understand YOUR priorities.
