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 interviewed several collaborative lawyers over the phone and person. Margaret Zuleger stood out to me as having a complete understanding of my options and laid out a plan that enabled me to navigate the rough waters. Margaret walked me through the process and gave me an clear idea of what to expec...t down the line. While I struggled with the many decisions that needed to be made she would remind me to take it one day at a time. One of the most challenging aspects of my divorce was the custody issue. Everything I read said I was going to have to submit to the "standard" custody agreement in the state of Illinois. It meant not seeing my child for long periods of time. It was Margaret that came up with a great alternative that enabled me to gain equal custody and equal time with my child. That alone has been a significant positive aspect of my divorce. With Margaret everything is on the table and up front. No games. No pressure. She offered up consultants for financial and mental health which was nice to know was available. She responded both by email or by phone within 24 hours. I truely felt that Margaret had my back. If you're reading this review then your probably considering heading into the rough waters. I can sincerely say that going through a divorce isn't easy for either spouse but it sure was a blessing for me to have Margaret Zuleger by side.
