A Caring Family Law Attorney
I know that family law and divorce issues can be burdensome and overwhelming. I also know that the children, even though they are too often ignored in the process, are the most important stakeholders in every divorce.
I opened my DuPage County, Illinois, law firm in 2004 to provide caring representation that is focused on quick and equitable settlements for my Oakbrook clients.
Family Law Practice Areas
In every case, I offer personalized legal representation focused on the children's best interests:
- Divorce: I handle all aspects of divorce, focusing on efficient and amicable settlements before trial.
- Military divorce: I am an Army veteran, which gives me insight and knowledge into the special considerations in a military divorce.
- Division of assets and debt: Illinois law requires that property and debt be divided equitably during a divorce, and I can help you pursue a fair and reasonable plan for asset distribution.
- Paternity: I can help you resolve paternity issues before the courts so you can seek child support or assert your parenting rights.
- Child custody and visitation: I do everything possible to preserve the two-parent structure so that children are not deprived of a parent after a divorce.
- Child support: I work towards equitable settlements of child support issues.
- Adoption: I focus on stepparent and other adult adoption situations.
- Post-decree modification: When times change after a decree is finalized, I can help you modify the provisions of the decree to suit your changing needs.
- Spousal support: I can help you reach a quick and equitable agreement regarding spousal support, which is support given to a spouse who cannot maintain the same standard of living that the couple enjoyed while married.
- Removal: Custodial parents who want to move out of state with children after a divorce must petition the court and show good cause. I can help you understand your options whether you seek or oppose the move.
In all these matters, I find that quick, amiable settlements are always better for the children. I am not the lawyer who will grind it out in court for a long, drawn-out battle, fighting for every advantage regardless of costs. I work to resolve issues efficiently and I always look out for the children's best interests.
Personalized Representation
As your lawyer, I will give you the personal attention you need, always working with you myself rather than handing your case off to a paralegal or assistant. Call my Oakbrook Terrace office at 630-873-3559 or send me an e-mail to set up a free initial consultation.
