Divorce Attorney Focusing on Your Needs
When you are facing a divorce, you have enough on your mind. Your lawyer should be part of the solution and give you the personal attention and tailored legal representation that you need to get through a difficult time.
Since becoming an attorney and opening my Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois, law firm, I have focused on providing personalized service to my clients. My DuPage County clients appreciate the dedication and solution-oriented representation they receive from me. When you hire me, I am the one working with you throughout the process, not my assistants or paralegals.
Starting the Process
The divorce process in Illinois involves a few essential first steps:
- Initial assessment: When you work with me, I provide a free initial consultation. We will assess your goals and discuss the best approach for resolving your situation as quickly and equitably as possible.
- Filing: Once the decision to divorce is made, one party files a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage with the court.
- Summons: The non-filing party receives a summons and has 30 days to file a response. This starts the divorce process.
Resolving the Issues With Quick, Equitable Settlements
Once the divorce process has begun, we work to reach agreement on all the relevant issues surrounding a divorce, like:
I have seen how courtroom battles tear families apart. That is why I work at finding solutions to these issues quickly, so they are settled before you even get to court to finalize the divorce.
My approach can save you the time and expense of ongoing litigation. It also reduces the strain between you and your ex-spouse, which is important because you will need to function as co-parents to your children after the divorce. Avoiding the trial process is also simply better for the kids — they do not need to see their parents fighting over the future.
