Excellent Child Custody Attorney

I had the pleasure of working with Josephine in the summer of 2022 on behalf of custody issues. Any legal issues regarding children are very delicate. The original attorney I worked with years ago, had completely failed me. This made it all the more crucial that I found the right person who would hel...p my daughter. Working with Josephine was nothing like my former attorney. I'm grateful for her work on my daughter's case. She's an excellent attorney who does everything necessary, and more to help the best interest of the child. I went through issues where I had to contact her during holiday arrangements. Even then, she always came through. When it's your child, you want someone who will truly show up and help guide you through it all. She is intelligent, readily available and responsive, and she puts in the work to make sure the absolute best decisions for your child are upheld. It's been a year since I was in court with her, and I reached out to her this morning for help. As always, she replied right back and scheduled a time to talk. Family Law is the department where you need someone to be there when you need them, and she truly is. You can count on her to help you and your child through some of the toughest decisions and family matters.

Truly the best

My name is Patricia Maddox and I usually don’t write reviews for anything. BUT for Josie, I just have too. I have never felt more comfortable and confident in my whole life than working with her. She made the entire child support and family court process go so smoothly and efficiently. I would highly... recommend anyone who is going through this to Josie. I wouldn’t even think twice, you really have found your match if you’re considering her. There is no one better and I truly mean it. I can’t rave enough how confident you feel with her on your side.

Thanks Josie!!!

My experience at Merel Law was beyond fantastic. I started the divorce proceedings with very little knowledge of what my rights and responsibilities would be. Josie not only guided me through the legal details, but offered wise counsel, and always had my best interests in mind. Who knew that divo...rce lawyers are also therapists? Highly recommend.

Best family law attorney in IL :)

Josephine represented me during my child custody and child support case. The thing that impressed me most about Josephine is that nothing is "sugar coated". She was honest, straight forward, and told me what to expect each step of the way. She constantly kept me informed of what my options were and d...id not make any empty promises just to keep me happy. She was attentive, thorough, and responded quickly to my emails or phone calls. She was a powerful advocate for me during a difficult time and I cannot thank her enough for her compassion and service. I had no doubt she would help me "win" my case.

Perfection

Josephine was very dedicated, attentive, and personable. I can’t stress how seamless she made the whole process. I very much so recommend Josephine and her services, she’s great at what she does. She truly is one of a kind and is a woman of her word. I’m extremely grateful for what she has d...one for me. She literally got me everything I wanted in my divorce.
