Jennifer Shaw Huston

I met Jennifer when going through the third round of litigation over custody and some other family law related issues with my son’s father. From our first meeting when she reviewed my files from the previous lawsuits it was clear that she was able to quickly assess the reality of the situation and s...he understood the unfortunate harassing nature of the litigation in which I was involved. Throughout the course of the litigation Jennifer consistently remained calm and focused on the desired outcome. She maintained the attitude that she was working for results that would be in the best interest of my son. She was well informed about and connected with the family law community in Chicago, and was instrumental in helping me select a great child representative for my son. She was able to navigate her way through our complex and complicated legal history and make working sense of it. I felt confident with her representation and she never faltered in her focus and determination for a fair resolution for my situation. After the other side’s many failed attempts to try to discredit us, Jennifer’s calm and persistent strategies paid off and the other side finally had to concede that their claims were invalid and they retreated in defeat. In the past, other attorneys have worked through a couple of retainers and then would ultimately convince me to throw in the towel, leaving me in a worse situation each time. Jennifer never let me feel like this was an option. Jennifer’s reliable and helpful representation did more for my son and me than just end the string of harassing and disruptive lawsuits. Her help gave us back some sense of peace in our lives. When I hear someone talking about family law related problems I share about my positive experience of having had Jennifer as my attorney and I don't hesitate to recommend her to others. Jennifer brought some serenity to one of the stormiest periods of our lives, and I feel so grateful that she was there to help us go through that time with some confidence and grace.
