All I can say is Mervate is the Best. Not only did she successfully win my divorce case, but she also worked with me regarding payment. I’m so thankful for her because at that time I was a new mom of a set of twins that were six months, who had yet gone back to work from maternity leave. I utilized h...

"Mervate and I are in a small, national practice management group. We have had many professional conversations the past year. I would certainly refer anyone I know in Illinois to her for legal advice and representation! Sincerely, Mark P. Yablon"
"Mervate Mohammad is a hard-working and skilled attorney. She is developing a reputation among lawyers in her community as being the go-to attorney when it comes to issues of family law. I would be happy to recommend her services to anyone."
"Mervate is a great attorney. She manages to balance her full workload to give each client her full attention. Mervate advocates for each client's rights while remaining efficient and realistic on the likely results of each case and not allowing the clients to over-spend their budgets."
"I first met Mervate when she came into a contested child custody, visitation, and guardianship proceeding in which I was already involved. Frankly, her client stood little chance of prevailing before she came into the case, because the law and the facts did not favor him. Mervate gave her client the advice, both legal and factual, he needed to obtain much of the relief he wanted. I am certain her efforts led to the results obtained. Since then we have shared legal advice on a number of topics. I am always impressed by her preparation, experience and knowledge. I happily recommend that people consult and retain her."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mervate is a competent attorney, and very well-versed in family law issues. I highly recommend her services."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have worked with Mervate on several cases and she has always been a pleasure to work with. Her professional demeanor and commitment to her clients is obvious, and her skills in the courtroom unmatched. I would not hesitate to call Mervate for any of my legal issues."
"Mervate is my go to lawyer for any Family Law issues. She is a hard working attorney who will fight for her clients rights. Highly recommended."
"Mervate is an ambitious and professional attorney that always exceeds expectations. She has my strong recommendation."
