Free 30 Minute Consultation. Call Now
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. In addition, I can assist my clients with custody, visitation and support and adoption issues which may become complicated if the parties live in different states or are difficult to locate.
My clients receive my personal attention and quick responses to their questions and needs because of my focused practice and expertise, streamlining legal process and costs, while providing quality results.
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.

Excellent attorney
Marjorie is very professional, does not waste your time or hers, and was realistic about my case expectations. She put my interests first. She negotiated my case for an excellent result. I recommend her highly.

Not for you’re best interest all about her money
All about the money not about you’re best interest. She will drown you in emails and phone calls running out retainers and running up bills. Gets little to nothing done in months. Stay far away from this lawyer, she thrives off peoples marriage and family struggles to fill her pockets and once the mo...
I'm sorry you felt that way, although if you had I wish you would have contacted me during the time that I was representing you so that we could have discussed some options. In family law cases conflicts tend to increase fees significantly, in ways you and I could not have foreseen. I don't know who you are, as you have written anonymously and I do not typically withdraw from cases, but I encourage you to contact my office so that we can discuss this and options going forward. I am surprised by your comment, as in my 27 years of practice I have always discussed the cost/benefits of proceeding with litigation versus settlement and am very conscious of the high cost of litigation.

A well respected professional
Marjorie is a very diligent, pro-active, responsible and professional Attorney who always does her best for her clients and takes the time to keep clients well informed of their case status. I would not hesitate retaining Marjorie again if needed and have referred her to my friends.

Detail Oriented, Well Prepared, and Set Realistic Expectations
My husband and I hired Marjorie for a post decree college motion after 15 YEARS in the Lake County court system with his ex. We came to her after finding out a judgment had been made against my husband in a case we weren't properly noticed on. Marjorie thought getting the order vacated was a long s...
