Rebecca Krawczykowski (pronounced “krawz – uh – kowski”.) I concentrate my practice in divorce and family law. Most of my clients are people who are going through a divorce, typically involving issues of allocation of parental responsibilities (formerly known as custody), allocation of parenting time (formerly known as visitation), child support, maintenance and property distribution. Many of my clients are parents that never married, who may have issues in the areas of allocation of parental responsibilities, allocation of parenting time and child support. I also represent clients who are seeking a modification or enforcement of a judgment or court order.


I advocate vigorously for my clients whether their matters are resolved through litigation or settlement. My experience is wide-ranging, from uncontested divorces to inter-state custody disputes to divorces involving businesses and high net worth estates. I also frequently work with clients to develop various maintenance (alimony) buy-out options and alternatives.


I feel it is prudent to take a “child centric” approach to the issues of parenting rights and responsibilities. Parents should work to develop a practical job description for parental responsibilities (custody) and schedule for parenting time (visitation), rather than posturing and litigating for labels that imply a win or loss.


I frequently work with clients who want an amicable divorce and come to me with various issues already settled. I provide guidance on outstanding issues, draft settlement documents, and conclude the divorce, while keeping costs to my client reasonable.


I joined Fay, Farrow & Associates, P.C. as a legal secretary in 2002. I worked closely with John Fay and Mark Farrow as a secretary and law clerk for a decade before becoming a licensed attorney. I understand that disputes in family matters are difficult for my clients and I provides legal guidance through challenging emotional times. Client communication is a priority for me and I am very accessible to my clients.


I am licensed to practice in the State of Illinois and practice in the counties of DuPage, Will, Kane and Kendall.

Best lawyer ever
had the privilege of working with Rebecca Krawczykowski to attempt getting visitation with my son. I am extremely satisfied with the quality of work she has done for me. She answered every single question I had in a way that I could easily understand. She was a complete shark in the water and definitely knows what she is doing. I couldn’t be more happy with the outcome. I highly recommend Rebecca especially for the type of situation I had on my plate. Thank you all at Fay Farrow associates for the support and piece of mind. I will 1000000% be working with yous on any future matters from now on.

Great experience!
I've worked with Rebecca Krawczykowski since early 2021 and she has been absolutely amazing. I don't feel like just another client, I always felt heard and that she genuinely cared and did her absolute best to help me. I previously worked with two other attorneys that I did not have a good experience with unfortunately. One thing that stood out to me right away was that Rebecca's truly listened to my concerns and was not dismissive at all. It was also very much appreciated that she always kept things real. She explained everything to me, even if I needed to ask multiple times, she ensured I always had clarity and always checked in with me every step of the way. I unfortunately needed urgent help a few times and she made time to answer my questions. Working with Rebecca made a situation that was extremely stressful, much better. I knew we were in excellent hands. Highly recommend working with Rebecca Krawczykowski for your legal needs!

Responsive, attentive, efficient, concise, savvy, personable, child-centered, a TRUE professional. Without hesitation, she is the BEST attorney in DuPage County and will remain our primary and extraordinary recommendation for family-related law matters. A sincere "thank you" and deeply felt appreciation for her and her firm!

Best family law attorney in our area
Rebecca Krawczykowski is probably the best attorney out there especially for family law. I had moved to her from another attorney when I did not feel I was being listened to and she has listened, acted and followed up on all points that have been needed to be addressed. I feel my post decree case is finally at a point where it is not causing me and my kids constant stress and I can raise them without the added unnecessary drama. I can't say enough about Rebecca and highly recommend her if you need an attorney that sees YOU and gets the job done.

Rebecca Krawczykowski - Highest recommendation
Rebecca Krawczykowski helped me through a difficult divorce situation. I greatly appreciated her quick responses to emails and phone calls, her professionalism, thoroughness, advice and coaching for the divorce trial. Rebecca's summary at trial was articulated concisely and the judgement was in my favor. I highly recommend Rebecca.

Rebecca - Highly Recommended
Rebecca puts her clients best interests first and keeps her fees down and is highly informative through the process. I had a difficult divorce and Rebecca made a horrible situation less stressful with her practical advise and full knowledge of the law. I was impressed with both her professionalism as her humanity and caring during such a difficult time. I would highly recommend Rebecca for anyone requiring legal counsel.

Communication was key
Rebecca was great at handling my post-divorce case but what impressed me was her willingness to keep me up to date and aware of next steps. Some lawyers will disappear and you have to call them to find out information you should have been told in the first place. Not the case with Rebecca. Highly recommend!

Very thorough!
When I was getting divorced Rebecca did not miss anything in explaining the way things work, what I was entitled to & was not entitled to. She answered all my questions & concerns. I was divorced in just 8 weeks after starting the process. She is wonderful!

Rebecca is hands down the most understanding and reasonable attorney in the western suburbs!
Dealing with a high conflict divorce and post divorce is never easy, Rebecca made the best out of a bad situation and helped keep costs down, where most attorneys just run you around to do the opposite. I have found my attorney and highly recommended Rebecca to anyone having to go through divorce or post decree issues.

Delivers and exceeds expectations
No review can justify how great of a lawyer Rebecca is. I have never met a lawyer that knows the laws the way Rebecca does. She never left me questioning anything. Her responses to me were always very clear, honest and upfront. She is firm and holds her ground. I had a different lawyer previously, so Rebecca took on my case midway. That in itself gave her extra work to catch up on, yet she did not skip a beat. She knew my case like the back of her hand within days of hiring her. Everything she told me at my consultation, she delivered. My previous lawyer had my case for a little over a year with no follow through. He would tell me everything I wanted to hear, and after court I would end up crying in frustration due to nothing going as planned. I only had Rebecca for a few short months as my lawyer, but she accomplished so much more in a short period of time. Her honesty and prediction on how my case would go was spot on from day one. I never received any unexpected emails or calls as I did with my previous lawyer. She was able to assume how my case would go, and what she told me was always how it ended up. Everything was done professionally and smoothly in a timely manor. Not only did Rebecca follow through with her word on everything, but she exceeded my expectations. She is very responsive to emails and bills very fairly. Never once did I feel “ripped off” by her. In fact, I feel she put in a lot more work than what her bills showed for! I felt confident from the day I hired her until my divorce was finalized. My only regret is not hiring Rebecca from day one! I truly feel that if Rebecca was my lawyer from the beginning my almost 2 year divorce would of been no longer than a few months. Rebecca is truly amazing and I will always recommend her to anyone I know that is in need of a good lawyer.

Family Will
Mrs. Krawczykowski recently assisted my husband and I with creating a will as we recently had children. We found her work to be quick, thorough, and professional. She was extremely helpful with all of our questions and we are very pleased with the resulting will. We would happily recommend her to anyone for a will or in any other legal capacity.

Great Communication
Rebecca was hired for my custody and child support case. She was wonderful in communicating throughout the entire process clearly and effectively through phone and/or email which made it much easier as we are all busy with our lives. She explains things thoroughly and is realistic in what to expect and strategic as to which battles to pick while always keeping the best interests of the child and what you want in mind. Even with major delays on the other side, she pushed to get the case done and over with and her urgency was much appreciated. If you want a lawyer who is upfront, stands her ground, and keeps you in the loop, I highly recommend Rebecca. She made an intimidating process much easier than I thought it would be!

June 2016 client E
After reading positive reviews about Ms. Krawczykowski (and FFA), and meeting her, I did not hesitate to hire her to manage my divorce. She also represented my ex - pro-se. She did a magnificent job of making sure that my case was fair for both parties (per my wishes), and in the best interest of our children. She was a good listener, smart in execution, and very responsive to my inquiries. The process was relatively short, and I am content with the outcome. I would recommend her to anyone in need of a good advocate.

Excellence and Service
We just finished my case and wanted to share the exceptional service I have received. Rebecca was very knowledgeable about the laws pertaining to my case. She was very patient during all of our meetings and kept me informed throughout the process. I would highly recommend Ms. Krawczykowski for legal services that one would need. She was always looking out for my best interest and concluded my case in a timely and efficient manner. Thank you for you hard work.

Recommendation
I am so very happy with the service I received from Rebecca. She is very thorough, courteous, respectful and actually listens to what I had to say. I highly recommend her legal services and Fey & Farrow are lucky to have her on their staff.

Great advocate!
Rebecca was (and continues to be) a great advocate for me in a difficult divorce. She is accessible, responsive and level-headed. She is thorough, smart and tough when I need her to be tough. Rebecca has the capacity to also be kind. Divorce is hard and sometimes you need a gentle hand to guide you through this difficult process but a shark under the table to get the job done. I would recommend Rebecca to a friend.

Very Pleased
Rebecca has been handling child support and other financial matters related to my divorce for over a year. She is patient in explaining things to me and genuinely empathetic, but more importantly she is responsive and gets results on reasonable billable hours. Every time we are in court she remains poised, professional and argues our position with integrity. I'm very happy with her services and will continue to use her.

Exceptional Lawyer
Rebecca has been exceptional to work with through out my divorce. She was honest with me, trustworthy and apathetic of what I'm was going through. She was very attentive to the details of my marital settlement agreement and made sure there was nothing left to question, it was straight to the point. Rebecca and the staff at Fay, Farrow & Associates been fabulous. They are very quick to respond to questions via email and phone calls. I definitely recommend working with Rebecca!
