Ishtar Mariam Baba

Going through a divorce is the scariest and most emotionally challenging experiences anyone can face, but having Ishtar by my side made all the difference. From our very first meeting, she treated me not just as a client, but as someone she genuinely cared about-- like family. I'll be honest: I'm ...a very particular person. I hold high standards when it comes to professionalism, communication, and attention to detail-- and Ishtar exceeded every single one of them. She was always prepared, always responsive, and always a few steps ahead. Her ability to balance emotional intelligence with legal sharpness is rare and incredibly valuable. Her compassion, patience, and understanding helped me feel seen and supported through every difficult moment. But beyond her kindness, she is an incredibly sharp, strategic, and fearless advocate. She fought for myself and my daughter with passion and determination, never backing down where it came to protecting my rights and the wellbeing of myself and my daughter. Ishtar NEVER treated my case like just another file. She listened deeply, responded promptly, and explained every step in terms I could understand. She gave me both strength and peace of mind when I needed it the most. There are thousands of family law lawyers in the Chicagoland area. In fact, I interviewed nearly 20 of them. Ishtar, however, is different. She is loaded with skill and grit that is simply unmatched (coming from a client who is extremely particular). If you're looking for a divorce lawyer who will fight for you fervently while also supporting you with heart and humanity, I cannot recommend Ishtar enough. She truly changed my life, and I will always be grateful for her. She turned my worst nightmare into a bearable experience, and for that, I can never repay her.

Ms. Baba is simply the best. She is meticulous, compassionate, and tough when needed. As a client I felt totally safe and protected in her hands. She walked me through an extremely difficult process with finesse and precision. I could not recommend anyone higher, she is truly first class. In my opini...on the best attorney in Chicago.

Ishtar is a highly skilled and responsive divorce attorney, providing expert legal counsel and prompt communication. Her extensive knowledge of family law ensures aggressive advocacy on behalf of her clients. While divorce is inherently stressful, Ishtar's expertise facilitated a positive outcome a...nd a favorable settlement, all at a reasonable cost.

Ishtar represented me during the prenup process. Agreeing to represent me with only a week before the wedding (!!!), she took the time to walk me through the process and share the resources I needed. Her organization skills and attention to detail are unmatched. Also such a pleasure to work with over...all. So thankful for her help!!
