I feel so lucky that I found Denise. From the complimentary consultation (which lasted an hour), I knew I found the right attorney for my situation. She gave me a to do list of what to do prior to filing. When the time came, Denise was immediately by my side listening to me, guiding me, coaching m...e, and sometimes, even talking me down from the ledge. She responded to an email I sent at 11pm on a Saturday night. I was blown away by her quick response! She is excellent with high conflict individuals, and she thought of everything to protect me and my kids. Even though my ex-husband utilized two divorce attorneys simultaneously, I felt that Denise was far better than his two combined! My divorce was final within six months, and I never had to appear in front of the judge. In fact, all my interactions with Denise were through zoom, phone and email. Please consider Erlich Law. It was the best decision I could have made.

My divorce process started January 2023 and was finalized February 2024. From beginning to end and even post divorce, Denise and her staff have been attentive, helpful, understanding and caring. My main concern during the divorce process was making sure my daughter was okay. I was so pleased with the... concern Denise also had for the well-being of my daughter. I would not hesitate to refer Denise Erlich and her team to anyone seeking an attorney to assist in their divorce process/family court issues. They stayed on top of things, communication was top tier and always worked in my best interests with the right amount of assertiveness.

Denise is a great family law attorney. From our first meeting, she explained everything to me in terms I could easily understand and was always very responsive when I had questions outside of our meetings. I’ve never needed an attorney before and the whole situation was very stressful to me. Denise m...ade me feel very comfortable and assured I understood the whole process from the beginning to the very end. On top of that while she took care of my case, I had not once had to appear in court. If anyone is looking for a knowledgeable attorney at a reasonable price, then go to Denise.

I found myself in an unfamiliar, hostile situation that I never intended to be in, in life. A situation many more men will find themselves in, unfortunately. Denise and the Erlich Law team were the snipers I needed them to be in a very dirty fight for my daughter. Before I hired Denise and her firm, ...I'd had another attorney on the case who initially told me what I wanted to hear, but went MIA at a very critical juncture; aside from making other legal blunders. When interviewing Denise, she had a very refreshing pragmatism that you'd expect a seasoned general to have. Instinctually, something told me she was the one. And from the very moment we moved forward it proved to be just that, from beginning till the end. Denise is very sharp; she knows her way in a courtroom, she knows how to handle opposing attorney's, she's an excellent strategist, relates well to a reasonable judge and, most importantly, she has a killer instinct. All critical when it comes to fighting for your rights as a father. Erlich Law was able to get me the 50/50 arrangements I so ardently stood for from day one, equal decision-making power, no child support, and has set us up very well for any future litigation attempts from the opposing party in the future. As long as you do your part - being disciplined, practical, attentive to detail and thoughtful - Erlich Law is more than capable of executing the rest. False order of protection filed? Didn't matter. Countless other lies in pre-trial memo's, day-to-day communications? Didn't matter. Attempting to create a false narrative for the GAL? Didn't matter. In addition to her courtroom acumen, Denise is extremely relatable, patient and above all, available! I've never been here before, so needless to say I had many questions. I was anxious over strategy, over not having seen my daughter, over how the x-factors of the case would play out. Denise was always responsive and attentive. I'd get emails as late as 10 & 11 pm, answering questions (in detail), spelling out game plans, etc. The Erlich Law office team - Tammy, Carleen, and others who I may not be able to name - are all likewise, available, relatable, patient and professional. Not enough good things can be said about my experience. I'm just beyond grateful that I can be a present and available father on a regular basis. My daughter now has her daddy, forever, when her mother and their family wanted the exact opposite. A child is a precious gift, a gift that needs both parents, and thanks to the Erlich legal team, my daughters present and future are now fortified. Long story short, hire Denise! It's worth the money.

Summarizing my experience with Denise into a single review is nearly an impossible task considering everything she helped me with throughout my divorce. I can say without a doubt in my mind that she is one of the best divorce lawyers in Will county and the most caring attorney you’ll likely ever come... across. Denise would respond to my messages at all hours of the day and always made herself available to talk whenever needed. From early morning messages to late night phone calls or emails, she was dedicated to helping no matter the time. Even when she was sick with Covid, she still managed to win a big hearing (via Zoom) and stayed in touch with me despite being under the weather. While there are no “winners” in divorce cases, Denise ran the table and “won” every single contested issue in our case, which is pretty incredible given the sheer number of matters. We walked away from every court hearing with everything we asked for in our petitions. You can find other attorneys who are louder and make more noise (inside and outside of the courtroom), but Denise is a purebred winner. What I appreciate most about Denise is she provided me with reasonable, honest and fair feedback. While the opposing counsel in my case did everything she could to stir the pot and create unnecessary drama, Denise did everything within her power to minimize the trivial distractions and regrettable behaviors by the opposing party and their extremely litigious lawyer. My case unfortunately involved a contentious custody battle that required a GAL (luckily we got the best one in Will county thanks to Denise’s recommendation). From being faced with false allegations, isolation/alienation from my kids and a laundry list of other issues, Denise gave me helpful guidance every step of the way. She provided the necessary legal advice while also being practical and realistic. Instead of trying to make empty promises or tell me what I wanted to hear, she was always completely upfront and honest. If she set an expectation with me or made a prediction on a likely outcome, she was usually spot on. In every case, she actually exceeded any expectations that she set with me and overdelivered. Denise not only understands the court system in Will county inside and out, but she is highly respected by the judges and GALs. Her words hold weight and credibility, which says a lot about who she is and how she operates. You can trust you’ll be in good hands with her. At the very beginning of my case, I told Denise my top 3 priorities, and I’m happy to say she delivered on every one of them. In fact, the final terms of my global settlement far exceeded expectations thanks to Denise and her strategic guidance. While it might sound strange to some, Denise will always hold a special place in my heart for not only helping me get through one of the most difficult times, but also for her genuine nature. I’ll never forget the excitement in her voice every time she called with good news or to celebrate one of our many successful hearings in court. She truly cares, and she will fight tooth and nail for you. At a minimum, she’ll deliver a fair and reasonable outcome, while providing you with sound legal advice and peace of mind. If you want a fighter in your corner who will have your back throughout this journey, look no further than Denise!
