After working with two previous attorneys who both missed the mark in defending my divorce case, I retained Ms. Raddatz, and she completely changed my perspective on what outstanding legal representation should be. Her thorough handling of my case, combined with her honesty, professionalism, and c...onsistent follow-through, helped me achieve the results I was hoping for. She kept me informed throughout the process and always made me feel like my case mattered. I highly recommend Ms. Raddatz to anyone in need of a skilled and dedicated divorce attorney. On top of the exceptional representation, her fees were very reasonable and well worth the investment.

I had a good amount of battles in family court and worked with multiple attorneys. When I met Peggy M. Raddatz, it was clear she was the right choice. She is principled, caring, and handles business with a firm fist. She fought for me in my last three cases, and we came out victorious. It’s not just... about winning or losing; it’s about what’s best for the child. And that's what Peggy delivers. I'm so grateful, thank you.

I found Peggy after googling and reading about 100+ reviews. She was very helpful in making everything very straightforward and simple. Many times I wanted to put super specific language in there to address potential fears of mine but 99% of the time, they were items that weren't enforceable, were al...ready covered by law, or were things she encouraged I keep a more open mind about. She spends a ton of time in the court room, is familiar with all the Cook County judges, and has decades of experience so I appreciated how black and white she made things. Peggy is very direct and concise. In our initial interview, she cut me off a time or two because I was apparently talking more than listening. At first, I was turned off by it (even though it was true lol) but I immediately saw it as an advantage with opposing counsel and I was 100% correct about that. If you're a person that likes control or is long winded and isn't used to constructive feedback, consider this an opportunity to work on that because I actually quickly grew out of the experience. She has only 100% of your best interest at heart and I could tell that during the interview. She was also very personable, and I really appreciated how well she could relate to my situation. We had several really good discussions not only as attorney/client but also as single parents; she's further ahead in this process than me and really opened my eyes in a few areas (*cough* giving them mobile phones when they get older *cough*). As a techie, I was looking for more digital redlining, PDF editing etc but we did most everything via email modifications. It ended up being ok and made it super easy for me to search for emails with any changes that were made. She's always available via text but please don't misuse that or else she'd never have time to get things done; she (or her paralegal) is super responsive via email as well. Cost-wise, pay the flat fee upfront and you will save $10K minimum easily and my situation was pretty straightforward and easy in comparison to most people. I had a great experience and outcome in my divorce proceedings and would recommend Peggy to handle things.

Peggy has handled my cousins divorce, who had nothing but praise for her and the fact that he got shared custody of kids, return life back to semi normal was priceless. Unfortunately my own divorce happened earlier, with a different lawyer. And while it got concluded, I did not feel like I have som...eone on my side in a costly case. Few years later 2 of my 3 kids reached 18 and I hired Peggy for a child support adjustment (as college expenses now became my primary concern). What a difference from day one. Peggy took care of the court, efficiently ran the case, with no drama getting the issue resolved better than I ever hoped. Then year later my 17 year old youngest one decides he does not want to live with mom and wants to live with dad (which requires registering him at the new school district, taking care of custody, and dealing with uncooperative ex). And all that usually stressful situation where you want to make sure that your child is not impacted, I felt very little to no stress. Because I had Peggy on my side. For every twist and complication she had a solution, and the issue got settled. All I can tell you is that if you are going through these situations you need people like Peggy in your corner. And those type of folks are rare.
