The often emotionally charged areas of Divorce and Child Custody require an attorney that can stay focused on the client's goals. To that end, the client's goals must be clearly identified and a strategy must be developed, from the onset, that will enable the client and the attorney to accomplish those goals. We are skilled, knowledgable, aggressive, resourceful, dedicated attorneys.
We have always operated by three simple rules:
- To do our best, always.
- To treat others as we would like to be treated.
- To always do what is right
The firm has always limited its practice to the area of Family Law in Lake County. The reason for this is simple: The procedural and substantive law is ever changing. As such, a client with a Family Law issue deserves an attorney who does one thing and only one thing - Family Law. We handle all types of Family Law cases from the most simple and uncontested to the most complex dispute and all things in between. We give each case our undivided attention, dedication, and commitment. You deserve no less.

Amazing experience!
Cannot recommend enough! Denis was nothing but honest and professional from the start. He is truly for the best interest of his clients no matter what. Sara helped me not stress every step of the way and communicated so thoroughly throughout my whole case. Don’t hire anyone else!!!!
