Exceptional Advocate with Skill, Compassion, and Integrity

Gabriela Asrow demonstrated a high level of legal knowledge, professionalism, and sound judgment throughout my divorce, which lasted from 2023 until its resolution on December 29, 2025. She consistently provided clear, well-reasoned guidance and helped me understand both the legal strategy and practi...cal implications of each decision. Her communication was excellent—timely, direct, and easy to understand. Gabriela ensured I was fully informed at every stage of the process, which was critical in maintaining confidence during a complex and emotionally difficult case. As a disabled Navy veteran, I appreciated her professionalism, patience, and awareness of how post-service challenges can affect legal matters. She treated my circumstances with respect and incorporated those considerations thoughtfully into her approach. Gabriela is well-prepared, detail-oriented, and a strong advocate for her clients’ best interests. She delivers real value through her diligence and commitment, and I would confidently recommend her to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and reliable family law attorney.

Best in class

Gabriela and her team have been instrumental in helping our family find a great balance in parenting time and related issues post-divorce. In addition to profound expertise in family law, both past and present, she understands how modern families work; the unique struggles and complexities that come ...along with departing from a traditional structure. Most importantly though, she approached our case with a mix of empathy, care, and realistic expectations. Family is important, and Gabriela understands that better than anyone. You will not find better representation.

Great Work

Gabriela did an outstanding job. She was very efficient and conducted my divorce in a timely and professional manner. She made this difficult time very easy and made sure to take care of all the details with no stress in the process.

Skilled and realistic practitioner

Gabriela did an excellent job of focusing in on the relevant case law for my matter. Her research was thorough, informative, and helped resolve the matter in a way that minimized costs to me where possible.

Gabriela fought for my freedom

Gabriela Asrow gave me my freedom. My divorce and post divorce was extremely complicated to say the least. Gabriela jumped in head first, knows the law and my allocation back and forth, and represented me with gusto and professionalism. I was often shocked by the information she knew in an instanc...e about my case in particular. Only because it seemed knowledge that I would have front of mind, and no one else should. Gabriela did. What I truly appreciate about Gabriela is that she listened to my wants and needs, told me what was reasonable and what was not, and WHY! Understanding the why allowed me to be more flexible and realistic in my expectations and needs. Gabriela stuck with me, no matter how extremely tough it got, was 100% real with me and truly helped me be free. Without Gabriela, I’d still be trapped. I would recommend Gabriela every time, and will continue to recommend Gabriela every time. Gabriela also never overcharged me, or spent time talking about personal matters. I’m sure she has a life outside of the office, but I never paid for small talk or had to worry about her personal feelings getting in the way of defending me. I cannot say enough about Gabriela, except she is by far the best lawyer in Chicagoland - and I’ve had my share of lawyers before.
