Van A. Schwab

I hired Mr. Schwab to represent me in court regarding child support/ spousal maintenance/ marital property issues. My case was complicated and lengthy. However, I was advised by Mr. Schwab on each step and turn it may take, on how to act in particular situation, which happened the way he had predicte...d. Due to this outcome he has earned my full trust. I am very happy with the fact that he was my attorney and with the end results. I could not have wished for a better lawyer! Highly recommended!

We needed a new lawyer to help us terminate child support since the child was turning 18 soon. We lived in Florida, but original case was in Illinois. Very beneficial that he is able to practice in both states. He answered all our questions and communicated with us every step of the way. Every scenar...io we thought of (of how it may turn out), he was able to provide a detailed plan of attack and realistic expectations. Very fair price and support was terminated with no issue. Would hire again!

I was very pleased with the service I received from Attorney Van A. Schwab who took a difficult child support case where I owed more than $50,000.00 and he reduced my current support and set a monthly payment on the money I owe.No jail and no purge or contempt finding all within 14 days of retaining ...him. I recommend this attorney.

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.
