I have been practicing in family law matters in Lake County and the northern suburbs of Illinois since 1993. I have a deep understanding of family law allowing me to meet client needs to resolve their simple or complex divorce matters including property division and parenting agreements.

There is no fee for an initial consultation in most cases. My office is conveniently located in Waukegan in the northern suburbs of Illinois. I am less than a block from the Lake County Courthouse. Call today for an initial consultation.
