Jay Patrick Dahlin

Jay Dahlin is an outstanding lawyer who is among the top divorce lawyers in Chicago. Jay is very smart and highly experienced in divorce and international law, especially cases dealing with international Hague child custody cases. Jay practices with the highest professionalism. I appreciated his dire...ctness and precise knowledge of the law. My case was complex and involved working with lawyers in two countries. Jay was without a doubt the best lawyer I worked with. I trusted that Jay would protect my position and my child’s best interest, which he did, and he obtained the best outcome for me. Going through a divorce is grueling, let alone dealing with child custody issues, but Jay navigated the course with expertise and grace that built the strongest case. I highly recommend Jay Dahlin for divorce and international law matters.

Jay Dahlin assisted me in a high-conflict divorce and served as my counsel through custody and marital settlement. He was calm, thoughtful and worked to guide the process in a reasonable manner within the guidelines of Illinois law. He was skilled at negotiation and using mediation effectively, in ...spite of the often extreme positions adopted by opposing counsel. We ultimately negotiated an outcome that was closer to my position than the other side's. I attribute Jay's patient, careful work on the case as a key factor to the outcome. While I would never wish divorce upon anyone, I would not hesitate to recommend Jay and his firm to someone going through a divorce. The associate that helped on the case, Leslie Arenson, was also terrific. Having a strong team led by Jay made the process infinitely more tolerable.
