Jennifer K. Ciaccio-Burkhead

I used Jennifer Burkhead’s services not only for my divorce but again when problems arose after my divorce. In unvarnished truth Jennifer will tell you exactly where you stand and what direction you should go. She has tenacity coupled with a degree of tenderness but never looses site of the goal, whi...ch is to protect, defend and have the best outcome for her client. She never “sugar coated” a situation being straightforward and was a bulldog in the Court room. Jennifer has an unbelievable presence in the Court room, (and I now understand how crucial this is). There were never empty promises made to me, only results. She was an invaluable resource to my case. Her attention to detail and knowledge of the law are unsurpassed. If you are in the situation and are looking for representation, I strongly recommend in contacting Jennifer.

I never thought I would find myself in the kind of situation that would require the services of a Divorce Attorney. A few years ago, I found Ms. Burkhead based on her positive ratings and reviews from internet legal searches and personal referrals. I contacted her office while I was facing Divorce ...from my troubled wife. My ex had become highly addicted to prescription medications and our marriage deteriorated leaving me no choice but to do what was best for me and my children. I couldn't have found a better attorney! Every step of the way, Ms. Burkhead and her assistant kept me in the loop; hearing my concerns, giving me honest feedback and using her knowledge and experience to chart where she thought we stood in the short and long term of our case and any resolutions. Throughout the process, I felt like a partner and active participant in my case. It was a hugely positive experience. In my specific situation, Ms. Burkhead was able to successfully negotiate a settlement, negotiate with the opposing council, and keep court appearances minimal. I was tremendously happy with her results. Ms. Burkhead/her assistant and I tended to communicate most easily by email and texting; it made everything flow smoothly and saved me a lot of time. In my experience, Ms. Burkhead is a tremendously sharp, compassionate, intelligent, and hardworking attorney. Plus, she's got an awesome sense of humor. I would definitely hire her again or recommend her to friends and family.

We hired Mrs. Ciaccio-Burkhead in 2012, after several failed attempts at gaining sole custody and a child support agreement. Immediately, she gained our respect and confidence by TAKING ACTION vice providing lip service. She is confident, aggressive, and is a subject matter expert. We have been in th...e Illinois Court System from 2005 to current; hiring a total of 6 attorneys from 3 different counties (Lake, Cook, and Will). During this tedious, stressful, and often damaging process we lost confidence in the judicial system and in lawyers in general. Mrs. Burkhead was our last ditch effort at giving the process another attempt, luckily we were very fortunate to find her. Jennifer Burkhead is the only attorney we have had in 10 years that has been fair, had follow through, been reliable, trustworthy, and confident. If you are looking for an attorney that has you or your child's best interest in mind and will cut to the chase; it is Mrs. Burkhead. We cannot speak highly enough about her, and what she has done to assist our family in a very difficult system.

We had a completely horrendous experience with another lawyer a year prior to hiring Jennifer. We didn't trust lawyers and we didn't think anyone had our back. A family friend gave us a glowing recommendation for Jennifer so we figured we'd check it out. Well, this woman really should be teaching oth...er attorneys how to do their jobs. She's phenomenal, thorough and clearly passionate. Her office staff is also on the ball, which is a huge help. Jennifer is someone you can absolutely trust with the future of your family law case. She LISTENS and doesn't force issues you don't want forced. I've already recommended several people to her and I always will. ABSOLUTELY hire Jennifer, especially if you've been burned before.
