A True Advocate and Compassionate Ally

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.

Ishtar was outstanding to work with

If you want an attorney representing you that is extremely knowledgeable in family law and professional, then you should work with Ishtar. Ishtar was communicative, patient and so easy to work with. She understood my goals, and made my divorce process seamless. The entire process took just under 6 mo...nths. You won't regret hiring Ishtar because she is truly the best advocate and person!

Caring and professional

I have worked with Ishtar on several family law issues. She is thoughtful, thorough, timely and caring in her approach. Her personal commitment makes a huge impact on both the process and outcomes, she’s invested the wellbeing of her clients.

Trustworthy, Professional, Knowledgeable but most of all she CARES!

I cannot thank Ishtar enough for the exceptional service she provided me with. I wanted to move my kids out of state, and I was having trouble with my ex husband. I reached out to Ishtar, and she promptly responded to my concerns, putting my worries to rest. Ishtar was extremely professional, kind, a...nd compassionate throughout the entire process, providing me with all the necessary legal guidance and support. Ishtar ensured that all the necessary paperwork was completed promptly, making the process of relocating my kids out of state as smooth and stress-free as possible. I was incredibly impressed by her knowledge of the law and her ability to explain the legal process in terms that were easy for me to understand. Thanks to Ishtar, my children are happy in their new state, and I couldn't be more grateful. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of legal assistance, and I am confident that she will provide you with the same excellent service that she provided me. Thank you so much for everything!
