About Jessica
Biography
I greatly enjoy practicing family law. The majority of my cases are pre-decree divorce, post-decree divorce, custody, child support, parentage, and adoption cases. I also draft and review pre-marital agreements and take family law appeals cases, including DCFS appeals cases. I am licensed to and have practiced in the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. I also was involved in a case where Writ of Cert was requested in the Supreme Court of the United States. I strive to achieve the best results possible for my clients but will also be straightforward and honest with them about the cost-effectiveness of their goals as well as their likelihood of success. I do not oversell or overpromise as we are attorneys, and not fortune tellers. I firmly believe that communication is the key to a successful attorney-client relationship and I strive to ensure that all of my clients feel that they are listened to and well represented. I also handle a substantial amount of military family law cases, which can have more complex financial issues than an average divorce.
Prior to practicing family law I was a clerk for a boutique family law firm, as well as a law clerk for a Cook County Domestic Relations Judge. I enjoy participating in networking events and meeting new people. I practice primarily in Cook County, DuPage County and Lake County. I recently was invited to guest lecture for a Family Law class at the John Marshall Law School on the topic of pre-marital agreements.

Jessica is the best!
Jessica saved the day. I could not be more grateful or recommend her more highly. She jumped in with both feet, knew just what to do, and straightened out a protracted divorce in just two weeks after she was hired, and her fees are reasonable. This was an unusual and puzzling case that required v...

Post-Petition Action
I retained Jessica to represent me in a post petition action filed by my ex. She was knowledgeable, responsive, and professional. The only negative (and this was out of her control), was the length of time it took to get to trial over a fairly simple matter. I was impressed with her court room...

Thanks Jessica
A friend of mine hired Jessica to handle his divorce settlement. He told me she did a great job and gave Jessica his highest recommendation. Based on this alone I decided to hire Jessica for my own divorce. I'm extremely glad I did. I never had to hire a lawyer before. It was a nerve-racking thou...
