Katie VanDeusen

I had a difficult interstate divorce and worked with 3 attorneys prior to Katie, and she is my favorite. For someone who had never gotten a speeding ticket, I was in over my head when my ex pulled out all the stops. I met many unscrupulous attorneys in this process, and I also met other good attorney...s who simply did not have enough time for my case. But Katie was different. She truly advocated for me and my children. She gave me so much peace of mind. She has a very logical approach, an impeccable memory, and she is well respected by the judges. Once I met Katie, my costs became more predictable and controlled, and more importantly, she helped to turn my case around. That is why she is my long time attorney.

During my consultation with Katie VanDeusen, she went over what to expect during the process, what information she would need, and explained her fees. She was super easy to talk to and was very reassuring that she wanted to make the case as painless as possible. I hired her to prepare documents and ...represent me in my divorce case as the petitioner. To all my gays: no issues! Her team was also very professional in this regards. With COVID going on, I had only expected a deadline of “before end of the year.” Amazingly, the documents were prepared a week or two later. Any questions that I had were answered quickly- and at all hours! We had a “court date” soon after (via Zoom instead of in person luckily!) and just like that- divorce granted! Only about a month later! While my case was a little easier (no kids, no assets, short marriage) I highly recommend Katie!

After interviewing several very experienced "high profile" lawyers in Chicago I was lucky enough to have a consultation with Katie. I hired her on the spot and couldn't have made a better decision. Katie's professionalism, knowledge of the law, and compassion made what is normally a very difficult ...process as good as it possibly could have been. My divorce was finalized today in a brief and painless court visit thanks primarily to Katie. I highly recommend her.
