I am licensed to practice in Illinois, Federal District Court, Bankrtuptcy Court, U.S. Tax Court and as a solicitor in England & Wales. My practice is comprised of family law, integrated estate planning, real estate, bankruptcy, appeals and property tax foreclosures. I started practicing law as a Judge Advocate with the US Marine Corps. After military service, I practiced with a national law firm based out of Chicago for several years. Thereafter, I started my own law practice. Over my career I have handled numerous jury trials, bench trials and appeals.
