Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation

Knowledgable, calculated, prepared.  Success in a divorce litigation involves several factors.. Knowing the law and knowing the facts are key to succeeding in a divorce case.  No amount of courtroom bravado can make up for a failure to grasp the key facts, law and issues in a case.  I keep up to date by writing and editing Gitlin on Divorce Reports, a semi-monthly newsletter reporting on every Illinois family law case.  I also speak frequently, especially regarding tax and financial issues in divorce.. Knowledge needs to be applied to be useful.  Taking this knowledge, understanding it and applying it to the client's case helps me in creating better projections and calculations for clients.  With more information and a more accurate picture of possible outcomes, clients can make better decisions.. Finally, I believe being prepared is perhaps the most important factor.  Doing the legwork, collecting the evidence, understanding the evidence and reviewing preparation with the client are steps I use to ensure I am fully prepared each time I walk into a meeting or hearing.  I cannot always be smarter than opposing counsel, but I can always try to be more prepared.

Firm: Schiffman Family Law, LLC

15 Spinning Wheel Road , Hinsdale , Illinois 60521

Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation

I founded Schiffman Family Law, LLC, because from the start of my legal career I always felt a personal calling to assist people during one of life's most significant transitions. I treat each and every case with close personal attention to resolve the issues for every one of my clients.  When not attending to my cases, I believe it is essential that I remain aware of emerging practices by pursuing the latest issues and trends within the practice of family law.. While the name recognition and cache of larger law firms leads some to believe that the level of expertise or success rate would be greater, after a career that included my working at various size firms, I came to the realization that founding my own practice allowed me the greatest freedom and opportunity to provide a higher level of personal service and attention to my clients, eliminating the non-casework distractions of a law firm practice.. I am here to personally answer your questions and address all your issues during this process so you may resolve matters and move forward with your life. It is my priviledge to be of assistance to my clients and I am proud to have worked with well over two thousand people thus far in my career.

Firm: Hudzik & Vechiola, LLC

50 S. Main Street , Naperville , Illinois 60540

Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation

The most gratifying part of practicing matrimonial law is to be able to give guidance and help people through one of, if not the most, difficult times of their lives.  My goal in most cases is to help clients resolve their issues in an amicable manner to a positive resolution, as the majority of cases do not proceed to trial.  However, there are certain cases that cannot be settled for a multitude of reasons.  As such, I am always prepared to litigate the issues.  I maintain the mindset of a litigator while always being open to discussing settlement.  Being prepared to take the case to trial, often times, will result in a more favorable result through settlement.  I started my legal career practicing in a wide variety of areas of law, ranging from criminal law to real estate transactions to all areas of civil litigation.  I now practice exclusively in the area of matrimonial law.  My prior experience in other areas of law has been invaluable for my practice, as the practice of matrimonial law overlaps with so many other areas of law and requires knowledge of these other areas of law.  When I am not practicing law, I enjoy spending time with my family, golfing, and playing basketball.  I was born and raised in the Chicago area, where I currently reside with my wife and three children.

Melissa S. Fish earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in English from the University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana in 2006 and in 2007 she started the study of law at John Marshall Law School not at all certain what direction those studies might take her. In her second year of law school, however, Melissa took a Family Law Course as an elective and the uncertainty was over. Melissa aced the class and earned the 2009 Family Law CALI award given to that student who does the best in the class. Melissa, thereafter, pursued her interest by working with the Cook County Office of Public Guardian where she represented and fought for abused and neglected children. She also worked at the Domestic Violence Clinic at 555 W. Harrison where she encountered the type of high conflict situations that persuade many attorneys to pursue other areas of practice. She further honed her courtroom skills by working for the Lake County State’s Attorney’s Office where, as a 711 licensee, she appeared in Court regularly. In 2010 Melissa graduated from John Marshall Law School.. After starting her family law career with a small family law firm in the northern suburbs, in 2011 Melissa was hired by the Divorce and Family Law Offices of Wakenight & Associates, P.C. in Oak Park.

She provides her clients with the counsel and communications they require, takes command of the legal issues in the case andpresents the Court with the concise exact analysis and evidence that the Court expects from an attorney such as Melissa, who has devoted her career to the practice of divorce and family law.
