Biography
I have been licensed in Illinois since 1974, practicing in the Cook County State's Attorney's office for 3 years (1974 - 1977); My family lived on Long Island, New York for several years, so I also became licensed in New York in 1981 and worked for several years in the Queens District Attorney's Office (1985-1986); we returned to Illinois in 1986 and I worked in the Lake County State's Attorney's office from 1987 to 1991.
I have been in private practice since 1991. My practice is a general practice -handling adoptions primarily, residential real estate closings, probate, guardianship (both disabled adults and minors), juvenile matters, preparation of wills and trusts. I am also an experienced criminal defense attorney and will accept clients with felony or criminal cases, including DUI and traffic violations.

The best!!!!!!
Bridget is the best in the business! Recently she handled my grandmothers will and trust. my grandmother is 91 years old, so it was not an easy case. Bridget came to the house, assess the situation, and was very straightforward honest and knowledgeable. Best of all her heart is bigger than her house!...
Bridget Walsh Hutchen's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. I've known Bridget for over 20 years, going back to my days as a Lake County Public Defender. Bridget was a felony assistant in the Lake County State's attorney's office at that time. She is intelligent, experienced, compassionate and even tempered, key qualities for a practitioner in family law. I highly recommend Bridget, without any reservation whatsoever."
