Ricardo Santiago is a bilingual family law attorney and college professor based in Chicago, dedicated to helping people through some of the most personal and challenging legal moments of their lives. Whether you're going through a divorce, planning for the future with a prenuptial agreement, or need help understanding your parenting rights, Ricardo offers clear, compassionate guidance rooted in experience and respect.
Over the course of his legal career, Ricardo has worked on more than 800 cases — from high-net-worth divorces involving businesses and real estate, to simpler matters where clients just need straightforward answers and affordable solutions. His background includes work at one of Illinois’ top family law firms and time spent in legal aid, giving him a broad perspective on how the legal system works for families at all income levels.

Ricardo’s practice focuses on family law, including divorce, parenting time, child support, prenuptial agreements, and orders of protection. He also has experience with housing issues (such as evictions) and the overlap between family and immigration law. His clients often come to him seeking both legal answers and a sense of direction — and leave with a plan that makes sense for their goals.
