Practice Areas: Divorce & Separation
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 have practiced in DuPage, Kane, Will and Cook County for about 28 years, focusing on all aspects of divorce related matters, including custody, decision making, parenting time/visitation, child support, maintenance and marital and non-marital division of assets. Over the years I have been able to understand the effects a protracted divorce can have a party, and how best to attack the issues that must be addressed and how to resolve the other matters.. When a party is facing the difficult decision to proceed with a divorce, they need a person who not only understands the legal issues that must be addressed, but also a lawyer who can explain and provide the required support a person needs at one of their most difficult points in their lifetime.
