Big Firm Experience. Small Firm Attention.
Mr. Hurst has practiced exclusively in the area of Family Law for more than a decade, handling matters relating to divorce, custody (parental responsibility), child support, visitation (parenting time), and the preparation of premarital and post-nuptial agreements. During this time, Mr. Hurst has had the pleasure of representing many current and former professional athletes, members of the media, Grammy award-winning artists and pillars of Chicago’s business and civic communities.
Mr. Hurst’s legal representation has always been premised upon empathy, attention to detail and depth and breadth of legal knowledge and acumen. Mr. Hurst has for many years been acknowledged by his peers as one of the most astute Family Law attorneys in Chicago. Mr. Hurst has been voted by his peers as a Rising Star in the area of Family Law by Super Lawyers Magazine every year since 2017 (a designation reserved for the top 2.5% of attorneys in Illinois under the age of 40); Mr. Hurst has been voted by his peers as an Emerging Lawyer in the area of Family Law by Leading Lawyers Network every year since 2015 (a designation reserved for the top 2% of attorneys in Illinois under the age of 40); and, most recently, Mr. Hurst was voted by his peers as a Best Lawyer by Best Lawyers in America©.
However, perhaps most important to his clients is the attention, care and responsiveness that Mr. Hurst brings to every case and every client. No matter how large or small the case, Mr. Hurst treats every client as if they are his only client.
