A trusted attorney to help you through a stressful time in your life
A licensed attorney since 2005, I have been representing clients in Divorce and Family Law for over 10 years. The Law Office of Jeffrey R. Esser was founded in 2011 to provide clients with personalized solutions for their legal issues.
After receiving a bachelor’s degree in Classics from Northwestern University in Evanston, IL, I earned a law degree from the University of Southern California. I am licensed to practice law in Illinois and concentrate my practice on contested and uncontested divorce, child support services, wills and trusts, and prenuptial agreements.
Because I believe everyone should have access to a competent attorney, I take on pro-bono cases through Chicago Volunteer Legal Services, and have earned CVLS’s Distinguished Service Award in 2010 and 2012.

Jenet Pequeno, Divorce and separation Attorney on Jan 6, 2017
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Jeff is a gentleman and a scholar. I have had two cases where I was opposing counsel to Jeff and the two cases could not have been more different. One of the cases was a legitimate, "War of the Roses" and the other was a slightly contested matter which resolved in just a few months. He is tenacious and not afraid to go to trial. He always advocates hard for his clients and for that, I strongly endorse him.
