About Jeffrey
Biography
For over 27 years, other attorneys have referred their friends, family and clients to our office to handle their legal matters. I have lectured on divorce, GAL and eavesdropping. I have written articles and made new law in Illinois and federal court. I was the first attorney in Illinois to have a parent's driving privileges taken away for failure to pay child support. Experience, leadership and professionalism. You know when it’s time…we know the law.
