I have practiced in various areas of law before concentrating in all areas of Family Law. My AV peer rating by Martindale Hubbell indicates the highest levels of professional and ethical achievement. I have twice been short-listed for associate judge in Cook County and served as President of the West Suburban Bar Association in 2010. I have also been an appointed member of the Illinois State Bar Association Family Law Section Council and have written and spoken extensively on Family Law subjects. I practice in Cook, DuPage and Will Counties.
In order to maximize our work for our clients we use a team approach often using lower billing team members to handle tasks which do not require my level of experience. We give the clients information and guidance in making decisions on their cases and tailor our efforts to the individual client's needs rather than taking a cookie cutter approach.
