"I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Kazmar several years ago. He was an exceptional mentor and taught me many practical aspects of practicing law. He is an aggressive, creative problem solver, with a true love of the law. If you want an aggressive, creative divorce lawyer in the Chicagoland area, call Kazmar. I'd also recommend reading his contributions on Avvo for sound practical advice."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
