As an attorney who has focused his career in the practice of family law, Jared Pinkus has negotiated settlement agreements and engaged in litigation pertaining to complex financial disputes, child custody and out of state removal matters, jurisdictional disputes (including disputes related to the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act) and paternity actions.
Jared takes a measured yet calculated approach when representing clients who are going through difficult times in their personal lives. In Jared’s experience, a well-negotiated settlement agreement frequently offers his clients the best value and security for both the client and their family. When negotiating settlement agreements, Jared works with his clients to formulate and implement a strategy always keeping the client’s final objectives at the forefront.
Unfortunately, settlement is not always an option. Keeping that in mind, throughout the negotiation process Jared utilizes discovery tools, motion practice and the rules of procedure and evidence to position his client’s case for litigation. At trial, Jared takes an aggressive yet reasonable approach arguing the particular facts of each case to the applicable law.
Jared has tried and received favorable results in actions pertaining to the following:
· Allocation of complex marital and non-marital estates, including the valuation and allocation of privately held businesses.
· Forensic accounting and tracing of income and other funds over a significant period of time.
· Determination of appropriate child and spousal support (maintenance or alimony).
· International jurisdictional dispute between Illinois and India.
· Initial child custody disputes and modifications to child custody and visitation schedules.
· Child custody and visitation issues involving drug and alcohol abuse.
· Seeking and defending against out-of-state removal of a minor child.
Super Lawyers Magazine named Jared as a Rising Star in the area of Family Law in both 2012 and 2013, a designation reserved for the top 2.5% of all Illinois attorneys under 40.
