Olga A. Allen concentrates her practice on all areas of family law, including complex settlement and litigation, negotiating marital settlement agreement and custody agreements, financial issues including bankruptcy and asset tracing, and appellate practice.

My practice and that of the firm, remains limited to family law.  Our office concentrates on all aspects of family law including divorce, child custody, all financial aspects related to divorce and separation.  We have extensive trial and appellate experience on issues related to child custody, tracing and classification of assets and income, division of property and child support and maintenance (formerly known as alimony).Some recent noteworthy successes include: The classification of Husband's stock in a closely held corporation as marital property.  Prior to the marriage Husband held 2305 fully vested and exercisable stock options at a strike price of $1.00 per share.  The options were not exercised until two years after the marriage and the strike price paid with marital funds.  At the time of trial the stock was valued in excess of $6,000,000.  The Wife, our client, was awarded $2,500,000 for her interest in the stock, from an investment of $2,305 of marital funds.  We successfully defended the Judgment on appeal in the Second District Appellate Court and on a Petition for Leave to Appeal to the Illinois Supreme Court.  The reversal of an award of exclusive possession of the marital residence to Wife.  On Appeal in the First District Appellate Court, the trial court was found to have erred in ordering the Husband to vacate the marital residence due to the claim that his presence caused the Wife stress and discomfort.  This was the first published case on the issue of exclusive possession in 17 years.

I also was involved in a case where Writ of Cert was requested in the Supreme Court of the United States.  I strive to achieve the best results possible for my clients but will also be straightforward and honest with them about the cost-effectiveness of their goals as well as their likelihood of success.  I do not oversell or overpromise as we are attorneys, and not fortune tellers.

After graduating from the University of Chicago (1985), I attended Chicago-Kent College of Law where I was a member of the Law Review.  I was nominated by Appellate Court Justice Warren Wolfson to Chicago’s Lincoln Inn of Court – a most prestigious honor offered to only a handful of trial advocates.. I went solo out of law school in 1991; not sure of which area of law I would eventually concentrate in.  To pay the rent, I had to take any case that walked through the door.  The very first one was a BIG divorce case with a very, very well-respected oponent (top-notch).  I was terrrified . . . but confident.  I ended up winning a number of fights in the case; the client was very happy, and I had learned about art appraisal, child psychology, major investment strategies, bankruptcy, real estate, and criminal defense -- and that was all in the first few months.  I was hooked.. Since that first case, I have concentrated my practice exclusively in the areas of family law and matrimonial matters.. I am licenced to practice in Illinois and have been recognized by the Supreme Courts of New York, New Jersey, California, Florida, and Indiana, to represent clients in family law matters in those jurisdictions. I have successfully tried numerous cases in Illinois and have successfully argued before the Illinois Appellate Court and have also prevailed before the Illinois Supreme Court.  I have authored several works on divorce and family law in Illinois.. I have been and remain a member of the American Bar Association (Family Law Section), the Illinois State Bar Association (Family Law Section), and the Chicago Bar Association (Matrimonial Law Committee).
