Rebecca L. Zeilenga

We have worked with Becky for almost 3 years. She has exuded professionalism, attention to detail and a caring “bedside manor” from the very first phonecall until our case was settled. We had a very dufficult case, but Becky explained every step and prepared us for possible outcomes and all conseq...uences. From initial consult, preparing for trial and eventually negioating an agreement she delevered at all stages. Pricing and costs were clear and reasonable. Bottom line Becky Zeilenga is a caring, responsive and can be tough when needed family law attorney. I recommend her without reservation. -Daniel

I met Becky on a Saturday morning in her office and hired her on the spot! After using numerous attorneys in the past (total of 4) who all failed to accomplish anything and made things worse, I finally felt confident that this could be the year that things turned around for us. Up to this point my da...ughter had already spoken to a Judge in chambers when just a young teen, and although there were some changes to non-custodial parental visits and child support it wasn't the best scenario for my child. After explaining the entire overwhelming story to Becky, we had a court date that coming Monday (meaning she had to get all these documents and case ready over the weekend) we appeared in court where a different Judge requested my daughter be present and met with her in chambers (now 16 years old) with both attorneys present. It was the best day of our lives! Becky has a really wonderful professional demeanor, great relationship with other attorneys and Judges and this was the turning point for my daughter. After many stressful years (total of 17) in court, we finally won and the Judge ruled in our favor. My daughter was finally able to focus on her school work, applying to colleges and finally have a life free of court houses, speaking to multiple Judges and GAL's. I am able to say, without disclosing too much about our case, that visitation was now not only diminished but also supervised which was a huge sigh of relief. I owe this to Becky, had we met Becky years ago we wouldn't have to be in court for 17 years! In a few weeks Becky gave us our life back! I credit her extensive knowledge in family law (and talks you off the ledge if you feel you are close to losing it), her great relationship with Judges, Attorneys and GAL's and her calm, confident, truly caring demeanor. Becky gives you her all, she is always prepared, has all her paperwork, notes, documentations in order, is extremely organized and truly does an outstanding job of representing her clients. Finally, something that is important to me and that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE about Becky is that she is quick to call or email you back immediately (I sent her numerous emails and never once did I not get a reply), and this is comforting when you have last minute questions or concerns before a court appearance. She is truly a sincere, caring, honest individual. She will not sugar coat anything nor tell you what you want to hear. You will get HONESTY and what to expect at all times so there are no surprises. Again, had I met Becky years ago I would have alot more money in the bank because this case would have been resolved years ago and without spending a fortune on other attorneys who did zero for me. I wholeheartedly, 100% recommend Becky Zeilenga. You can't be in better hands and I truly mean that.

I came to Becky after my wife decided to file for divorce quicker than I had anticipated. Becky listened to my particular situation and had a good strategy for us the day I met her on short notice. My case proved to be more challenging than it should have been and had some unique complications tha...t Becky worked hard to get through. She always made herself available to talk and provided sound advice. She was also very approachable and easy to talk to. I would highly recommend Becky to anyone in the area seeking a divorce attorney.

Becky did a great job handling my divorce and custody case. I was very pleased with her professionalism and patience with me during what was a very difficult time in my life. I worked from an office in my home, but had moved out because "things were bad" at home. Within a few weeks, I was back in th...e home and had temporary custody of my kids, which eventually became permanent custody. Becky worked closely with the children's court appointed GAL, and did a great job for me, and my children. I am grateful for her hard work and dedication to her profession.

Becky Zeilenga is a knowledgeable and effective advocate. She did a phenomenal job with my divorce case. My situation was complicated because my son and I are located in New York while my ex-husband lives in Chicago. I had to interview attorneys on the phone in order to find the right match, and righ...t from the outset, Becky had a complete handle of the situation, answering every detailed question I had with ease. She immediately exhibited knowledge and experience, and her rate was reasonable too. From the outset, Becky gave excellent advice about how to proceed with the case, suggesting that we proceed with child-related issues in New York and proceed with the rest of the issues in Chicago. She corresponded with the opposing counsel to expediently finalize this issue. Later, when thornier issues were raised (with respect to finances and money my ex-spouse owed me), Becky informed me of what was feasible and what was not and firmly advocated on my behalf in order to make sure I got what I deserved under the law. The judge ultimately sided with her. As a law student, I also have to say that I was very impressed with the quality and research of Becky's arguments and memos--airtight arguments. Lastly, I also wanted to mention that Becky went out of her way to make sure the case did not drag on for longer than it had to, and I really appreciate that. Her knowledge, forceful advocacy, and her consideration of her client's needs definitely made this an unconditionally positive experience for me. I hope to remember this experience as a practicing attorney in the future. :)
