Margaret Ann Zuleger

I am the only person in my family to go through a divorce so I had no one to help guide me and no one that understood it all. I also have two small children that mean the world to me. I am truly grateful that a friend recommended Margaret. The divorce was smooth. She listened to my concerns and ...was able to put them into our parenting agreement. Margaret advised me and was willing to take the time when I needed her to help me understand the current situation relieving my fears. She was prompt and always professional and compassionate in her responses. After just a few meetings I knew I could trust her. She validated that trust by guiding me with decisions that would effect me in later years, of which at that time, I was unable to see. Still to this day, almost two years later, I re-read the agreement and see things I would have missed without her having mine and the kids interests at heart. The advice and representation of a lawyer are not cheap. And the price of my littles are priceless. It was fair and reasonable. I would have paid double of what was asked for the warmth of what was offered. Thank goodness I didn’t have to. Being a single parent is expensive enough. I would and have highly recommended Margaret for divorce with or without children. And I am so grateful for the work, time and commitment she put in.

I had not idea about collaborative divorce and all of its benefits until I was referred to Margaret. She was professional, direct, and compassionate, while assuring me that a smooth and fair and non-adversarial divorce was achievable. Given the circumstances that surround divorce, especially with k...ids involved, Margaret understood as a mother herself, how important it was to achieve this outcome. Margaret was true to her word, gave excellent advice and made herself available to both myself and my ex to answer questions and provide guidance. She was timely and thorough and even after the process was over, remained available to answer follow up questions and provide guidance. Margaret quoted her costs accurately and was more concerned about a smooth and fair process than unnecessary and expensive work. Not only did I have the best experience one can under the circumstances, I have referred friends to Margaret who have had similar experiences with her.

Margaret worked with me closely, to provide the type of divorce I wanted. She laid out the steps and cost, up front, and met my expectations at every point in the process. In addition to being professional and efficient, she was personally very supportive. I would recommend Margaret to anyone who ...must go through this process.

I hired Margaret when I was going through a totally unexpected divorce after a very long marriage. She is very knowledgeable, helpful and compassionate. At a time when my life was in total disarray she guided me through the proceedings, and made sure that I understood what was going on and what the... outcome would be. She also was very fair with the fees she charged, and actually owed me money back when everything was settled. I really appreciated her honesty and support.

I was so fortunate to find Margaret through a mediator who recommended her. I met with 2 other lawyers and did not find them as a lawyer who was focused on my best interests. She took the time to understand the facts of my case and what was important to me. Margaret gave solid advice based on Il...linois law. Divorce is not easy regardless of the circumstance. Margaret made me feel like I was her priority. She returned my many "stress" emails in a timely manner. Margaret came to court organized and well prepared. Margaret's quote for this divorce was within a few hundred dollars. I have friends who spent 10s (and 100's) of thousands on their divorce with terrible lawyers. For all you who want your lawyer working for you, for your best interests and not taking you for a ride, contact Margaret. I've recommended 3 people to Margaret. One is happily working with her on her high profile divorce. The other 2 are preparing to move forward. My best advice is to have a consultation with Margaret. She is not working out of a plush, costly building. So don't let her office deter your opinion. It's just her clients are more important than drawing you in on materialistic things. You won't be disappointed. I don't know if you can ask questions on this site, but if so, I would be more than happy to give you more insite on my exceptional experience with Margaret.
