Van A. Schwab

I'm a resident of Buffalo Grove and work in Skokie. Mr. Schwab, I would like to sincerely thank you for all that you have done to assist me with my legal case** I prayed and asked for directions and God sent me your way. Every time I needed to speak with you--you were available (or returned my cal...l in a timely manner). When I sent you an email, you responded swiftly---I am certain this process would not have ended the way that it has if it was not for your professionalism, competence and thoroughness. I have never been through a storm such as this one but I am forever grateful that you were available to assist me during the turbulence. Your affectionate guidance, understanding, your interest in me and my son, your belief that I was worth being your client was everything that I needed. You taught me a lot about myself through this process and I am so eager to set sail and move forward with confidence, peace, optimism, and joy. You made an impression on me that softened the stress and encouraged me to take responsibilities for my choices. I don't anticipate needing your services again, but in the event that I do, and/or if I meet anybody that does, please know, you are my only choice!!!!! Warm Regards.

Mr. Schwab delivers results on his promises. My case was complicated and I came to Mr. Schwab with a big hole (mostly of my own making) to dig out of. Mr. Schwab went to the mat for me on numerous occasions during the process and achieved an outcome that was better than I expected. In the process,... he also put me on a better path in managing my relationship with my ex that has helped me to this day. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a good lawyer in family law.

I was warned by other attorneys not to use him especially against the high powered attorney who my spouse was using. The educational support agreement was a model of everything that you should not do in such an agreement: no say in school selection, no cap in tuition, no limit set on expenses that ca...n be incurred (everything had "guidelines" that turned out to be meaningless to the judge. To top it off, because my agreement was written so poorly written, maintenance didn't end when it was supposed to. One attorney told me that "you don't want to live with an agreement negotiated by Van Schwab." "He doesn't seem to be on top of things." One of the biggest mistakes I ever made was remaining with him.
