About Tina
Biography
As an attorney who has been in and out of the courtroom daily for the last 10 years, I have confirmed what I have always known that I am glad that I became a lawyer. My ability to look at both sides of an issue and antcipate the way the prosecution or the opposition will present an argument helps me when going to trial in a case or negotiating settlements. I am passionate about helping my clients!
Thank you to both of my parents who encouraged me to study hard and pursue my goals. I graduated with honors from Eastern Illinois University in only three years and went on to attend DePaul University College of Law, where I met my husband (and fellow attorney). I currently live in the Northern Suburbs with my husband and a stuffed panda.

Excellent!
I retained Tina as my divorce lawyer in April 2016. She was very thorough and handled my case extremely well. Tina was very quick to respond to any questions I had and I felt very confident that she had my and my son's best interests in mind. I would very highly recommend Tina!

She knew what she was doing and she actually cared!
I have never had a better experience with a lawyer, and unfortunately I've had more than my fair share. Tina didn't just talk like she knew what she was doing but she got my case dismissed! But what made me want to write this review more than getting a favorable outcome, I felt she was truly concer...

Great lawyer! I will be hiring her again when I get another ticket.
She made a deal with the state attorney before we went up to see the judge and I couldn't have been happier with the results. I ended up paying more in court costs than I did for fines! I would recommend her to anyone.

Couldn't have asked for better representation
Tina represented me in a child custody and child support case that lasted over 3 years. I was seeking full custody of my two children from a relationship where I was not married. After 3 long years and multiple court dates, we proceeded to a lengthy trial. Throughout the years, she continued to gi...
