Morgan Elizabeth Given

I needed an attorney urgently when my ex opposed my move out of chicago less than 3 weeks from my time to start my new job. I contacted the Taradash law firm after working hours and they handled my case so efficiently. By the next day, Morgan had prepared an emergency motion to establish my case in C...hicago and relocate. She responded to my emails in less than 1 hour. Prepared me for the case and advocated for me and my son when we went before the judge. In less than 3 weeks, I was able to move out of town with my son and my son was accepted in the best school where my ex had tried to destroy his chances of getting in. And I got the court order immediately after the court hearing. I have worked with other attorneys in a different state during the course of my divorce , but Morgan stands out. She is highly professional, reliable and efficient.

Getting a divorce is stressful and frustrating - and that's before you get into the legal side of it. Thankfully I had the best attorney I could've asked for: Morgan Given. Morgan did an outstanding job as my divorce attorney! I expected it to be an awful experience, since I didn't know at all wha...t I had to do. Morgan instantly made me feel at ease and explained all the ins and outs of the process so that I knew what to expect. She responded right away to ANY questions I had, she was fantastic at resolving issues and dealing with difficult people, and had an incredibly impressive knowledge of the law. Not only does Morgan excel at the law, but she was also kind and supportive when emotional issues arose. I thought that this process was going to be traumatic and one long headache. Instead I could relax because I knew Morgan was taking care of everything. If you want an intelligent, hard-working, and kind lawyer, Morgan is exactly who you are looking for.

Divorce is a complicated, lengthy, and emotionally and potentially financially painful process. Especially if it is not your idea in the first place. Morgan went above and beyond and was able to negotiate on my behalf and get me the result that will allow me to survive this trauma. Her complete... knowledge of the law and all the unwritten rules that come with working with court systems day in and day out are assets that you need in your corner right now. Questions were answered quickly and through many different means (email, phone, etc). I don't do reviews every day. But she literally saved me. her negotiations got the alimony down from 12 yrs to 7. If you are getting a divorce. you NEED a lawyer. Morgan Given is that great lawyer who will be there for you and get you through.

I would recommend Morgan Given to anyone who needs a top notch Divorce Attorney. When I was going through my divorce, you can imagine the emotional and mental mess I was in. Morgan was sympathetic to my emotional state while being stern enough to get from me what we needed to get accomplished. The ex...perience was like talking to a good friend for advice that actually knew the law & knew what had to be done THE RIGHT WAY. Sometimes the law in Illinois can be a bit one-sided towards favoring women when it comes to a man's child custody rights & the new alimony laws, but she encouraged me to fight for what was right without stooping to "ambulance chaser" tactics. Her knowledge and ability to negotiate was the reason I didn't have to pay alimony for 24 years & instead only had to pay for 4-1/2 years! It was then that I realized that whatever the outcome, I had complete faith in her knowledge of the law. If you want to walk away from court with dignity & the feeling that you fought the best fight you possibly could, then hire Morgan Given.

From 2011-2014 I have dealt with my separation/divorce and child custody with my ex husband. The entire legal proceeding was going literally in circles (go to court, the respondent gets an extension, then go back to court, just to have him get another extension). This cycle lasted a good 2 years. ...I was going to court at least 3x a month for a good year and eventually lost my job to that. The entire process depressed me because I was loosing at every corner. That caused me to loose my house that I was raising my 3 children and the correct amount of child support I am suppose to get. I eventually found out that my previous lawyer was corroborating with my ex husband's lawyer. I was devastated because my previous lawyer took the emotional situations in my life as her meal-ticket and ATM. It was time for a change. I happened to find Morgan in a Google search and instantly she was able to get in contact with me. Morgan was a breath of fresh air. After going through 2 years of back and forth in the court room with my previous lawyer, Morgan went to the first court date after hiring her and was able to get me a date for trial. Four months after hiring Morgan, my divorce was finalized and I got FULL AND SOLE CUSTODY with appropriate child support, plus many more provisions for my children. She has really impressed me and I retained her for my post divorce issue. Again, in the post divorce issues, Morgan came into the court room like a bulldog and fought fought fought restlessly for me. Over and over again, the judgement went in my and my children's favor. I don't know if this is material, but I will endorse Morgan on any level. She works without limits for me and is compassionate, responsive, truthful, and straight to the point. She is like David from the bible in the courtroom; her responds and arguments will take down the largest giants. I never had anyone to fight so hard for me in my life, not to talk about in the court room. Thank you Morgan, you have given me my life back. I will never ever forget you!
