Exceptional

Amy is without a doubt one of the best family attorneys in the Chicagoland area. In addition to being experienced and knowledgeable in every aspect of family law, she is thorough, responsive, honest, and compassionate. When advising on a course of action, she will always have your best interests at... heart. In court, she is a top-notch litigator, quick thinking and able to adapt to what's needed in each particular case, be it an aggressive or conciliatory approach. In the last five years during which she has represented me in several ongoing family matters, she has obtained only the most favorable results. In one word, she is a class-act. I highly recommend her!

Legal Expert & Highly Competent

Amy handled my divorce in 2020. There is a reason she is rated as one of the top lawyers in the area. I'm not sure there is a better lawyer out there to handle the toughest and most complex family law cases. Even though my case was considered straightforward there were many complexities and challeng...es we needed to overcome through the process. Amy is brilliant, compassionate, aggressive when needed, and will fight for your rights. I'm just glad she was on my side and representing me through my divorce. I would highly recommend her to any friends or family.

Amazing!

After working with a different attorney for a few month, I met with Amy and hired her. My divorce was 2.5 years with very little kids in the picture. There were many layers that were involved related to my divorce process and issues the arose during it. Amy know the laws amazingly well, and especial...ly under the new Illinois law changes. Her knowledge was clearly evident each court date and during our 5 days of trial. She did such an amazing job handling my divorce case, and knew my two little kids were my priority. The judge ruled in every possible favor I was hoping for. He took Amy's/my proposed agreements word for word which included sole decision making and the schedule I thought was best for my kids. It was amazing and clearly showed that Amy knew what she was doing within the laws in place. She is smart, very professional, and communicated amazingly well (which was the down fall of my first attorney). Amy was also very compassionate and handled things in a professional manner. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Amazing Attorney!

I hired Amy to set up a JPA ( joint parenting agreement) for my daughter. As anyone who has been in this position knows, it can be an extremely frustrating and a very emotional experience. After my first meeting with Amy, I immediately felt at ease. She was so helpful and informative. She was profess...ional and always responded in timely manner. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I strongly recommend hiring Amy Jonaitis!

Intelligent Determination

I needed a lawyer that understood the situation I was in looking out for the best interest of my son. At our meetings and on our telephone calls I was open and honest about the events in my life. Amy and I developed a great rapport about all aspects of the case. She was always prepared for all int...eractions with the court and myself. Through the last three years as my lawyer, Amy has always kept me current and determined to stay on top of the case. She is exceptionally up to date on law and its applications and I trust her judgment completely.
