I practice all areas of family law, including, but not limited to, divorce, paternity, child custody, visitation, removal litigation, grandparent visitation, adoption, child support, maintenance and spousal support formerly known as alimony, orders of protection, enforcing court orders and judgments, guardinaship, and post-judgment litigation, in DuPage, Kane, Will, Kendall, and Cook County. I do not generally charge my clients for any travel time or parking related expenses.. I also handle appeals. I have argued in front of the Second District Court of Appeals and I have drafted numerous briefs at the Appellate Court level.. I pride myself on keeping my clients informed and in the loop during the divorce process. Communication is paramount in having a successful attorney-client relationship.

I greatly enjoy practicing family law. The majority of my cases are pre-decree divorce, post-decree divorce, custody, child support, parentage, and adoption cases. I also draft and review pre-marital agreements and take family law appeals cases, including DCFS appeals cases. I am licensed to and have practiced in the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. 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. I firmly believe that communication is the key to a successful attorney-client relationship and I strive to ensure that all of my clients feel that they are listened to and well represented. I also handle a substantial amount of military family law cases, which can have more complex financial issues than an average divorce.. Prior to practicing family law I was a clerk for a boutique family law firm, as well as a law clerk for a Cook County Domestic Relations Judge. I enjoy participating in networking events and meeting new people. I practice primarily in Cook County, DuPage County and Lake County. I recently was invited to guest lecture for a Family Law class at the John Marshall Law School on the topic of pre-marital agreements.
