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!

Excellent Divorce Lawyer and Very Professional

Ishtar was recommended by a friend of mine where I work. From the very beginning Ishtar explained to me the whole process of the divorce and what to expect . She made me feel very at ease and I liked that she did everything at a timely manner. The price was reasonable and she is so easy to work with.... I will for sure recommend her to anyone I know.

Isthar M. Baba

I knew Isthar M. Baba was the right lawyer for my case since our first consultation. Ishtar's expertise in navigating the intricacies of divorce law was evident throughout all our interactions, as she approached each aspect of the case with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that nothing was o...verlooked, which really set her appart. I especially appreciate her ability to explain complex legal matters in a straightforward manner. She is a very kind, and consistent lawyer, very committed to keeping me informed with all the updates. Her professionalism was not only showcased in her ability to proactively address potential issues and strategically negotiate settlements, but also through her genuine concern for my well-being. I highly recommend Isthar M. Baba for anyone seeking a knowledgeable, and compassionate legal attorney, as she not only met, but exceeded my expectations.
