I'm a family law Partner at Beermann LLP with an unusual background: professional cybersecurity certifications (CompTIA Security+, Certified Ethical Hacker, ISC2 CC). This means I can trace hidden cryptocurrency, authenticate digital evidence, and uncover assets that traditional attorneys miss.
My practice focuses on high-net-worth divorce, complex custody, and cases involving business valuations and digital assets across Cook, DuPage, Lake, and Will Counties.
Recognition includes Illinois Super Lawyers Rising Star (2016-2025), Leading Lawyer (2026), Best Lawyers in America (2026), and Chicago Daily Law Bulletin's 40 Under Forty.
I serve on the board of Lurie Children's Hospital's Medical Research Junior Board and do pro bono work through JUF.
When your case involves more than paperwork, you need an attorney who speaks both law and technology.
