Jane Miller Brennan

Can’t say enough good things about Jane Brennan and her team. Jane was so professional and organized when facing my Ex’s attorney who was completely opposite. She was quick to calm and manage the situation with reason while keeping an eye towards reaching an agreement - trying to avoid the cost, s...tress, and uncertainty of a trial. Jane was meticulous with the Illinois child support statutory guidelines to help with the adjustment to a job change. Kudos to Joann Zollers (Paralegal extraordinaire) in creating a perfect synergy to our case. What a huge asset to have Jane and team as the guiding voice in your corner every step of the way. Job well done Jane winning a challenging case…. That’s what good teamwork looks like. T2

Jane Brennan of Goosetree Law Group was an absolute pleasure to work with during a difficult time. The level of communication she provided during the entire process along with her advocacy for me was unparalleled. I was particularly impressed with her knowledge of the judge’s thought process. She kne...w what to present to him and how to arrange those meetings, and because of her familiarity with his decision making style, she knew what to ask for and get it. Jane was very patient with me as I would get frustrated at times due to the lack of progress with my case (which had nothing to do with her efforts), plus she tolerated a lot of my wild input with grace. There was never a doubt in my mind each time I went to court that I had the better attorney. In the end, I am thrilled with the outcome.

I am a lawyer myself but practice in another field of law. When I found I needed a divorce lawyer I was in the same position as anyone-I had to figure out how to choose a total stranger. I narrowed my search to DuPage and I interviewed another divorce lawyer before selecting Ms.Brennan. Where the oth...er struck me as glib, Ms. Brennan recognized the legal nuances in my case and was not reluctant to admit when she needed to verify the law. Moreover she struck precisely the correct balance between partisanship on my behalf and the independent judgment I knew I needed in dealing with my difficult ex-spouse. Her advice turned out to be correct in every instance. She also was available just to lend a sympathetic ear when I needed one. And finally, she paid attention to managing the cost of the case, not a small consideration for anyone, including me. I certainly recommend Ms. Brennan to anyone.

Ms. Brennan was my appointed counsel after choosing the Abear Law firm to handle my divorce case. My case started in Nov 2013 and ended a year later. Even though I wasn't the petitioner, Ms. Brennan composed all the necessary documents for my case. My Ex's lawyer was extremely slow and unresponsiv...e and Ms. Brennan was the driving factor in getting my case to close. If it wasn't for Ms. Brennan constantly advocating the continued progress of the case it probably would have taken years! She was helpful and available most often on the same day I had a question. I felt like I was the only case she was working on, even though I'm sure she had many. She was also very patient explaining divorce topics that were completely foreign to me. Her main focus was my best interest in the case, she handled the case how I wanted her to. I wanted a fair divorce and she always took that into consideration and never pushed me too far for things that I didn't want to fight for. However, she did make sure that I was getting a fair deal and made sure I fully understood items I wanted to give up. If I was willing to fight over certain items in the case she was ready to fight for them. I trust her and therefore will continue to refer to her if any other issues regarding my divorce come up in the future.
