I have a distinct background from working at the Cook County Public Guardian's Office representing abused and neglected children for 7 years, which gives me an edge over many other fellow family law attorneys. I honed my litigation skills fighting state's attorney's and public defenders every single day in court.   That experience also lead to my nomination as the Chair of the Children's Advocacy Section in DuPage and to many GAL appointments around the area.  I pride myself on being the go-to attorney in the area for DCFS cases, child custody, guardianship and adoption cases.  Notwithstanding my zealous advocacy in the courtroom, I value your money and your time and I do everything in my power to avoid unnecessary drama and keep your legal fees down. Call today to set up a consult.

I began my practice of law on November 5, 2009. I worked on a large number and variety of civil cases between then and now. I also practiced law with several different firms. I learned how to write wills, set up companies, serve on a board of directors, draft trusts, divorce couples, evict tenants, litigate against some of the largest companies in the world, handle probate cases and finally to help people buy and sell real estate. On July 2, 2018, I decided to open TMB law, a local DuPage firm focused on helping people through everyday issues. I handle all questions, concerns, and documents- personally. I am available, by appointment, outside of routine business hours for your convenience.

I am dedicated to helping my clients obtain competent legal advice for a fair price.  I utilize my eighteen years of legal expertise to assist clients in a variety of areas.  I enjoy working with others towards a common goal.
