Child Custody/Divorce Case

I can't say enough wonderful things about Attorney Arthur. My case was a highly contested and extremely long and painful case. Under previous representation, my case dragged on and on without resolve. My case was so unjust, others in the legal system couldn't believe it…however, they wouldn't touc...h me because of my lack of funds. Attorney Arthur and her firm BELIEVED in me and my case and my children. Ms. Arthur fought day and night for me and my children. This relatively young attorney went up against some of the most well known firms in Chicago and every single time, it was amazing to watch. I believe they were all a little surprised that someone so young usually ended up knowing more than these seasoned attorneys because SHE PAID ATTENTION and was always prepared. She knew every nuance of my case and her knowledge of case law was amazing. I can't tell you how much that meant in my trial. Long story short, Attorney Arthur’s quest for justice and child safety doesn’t stop. In one third of the time I was represented by others and one tenth of the cost due to her efficiency and no-nonsense style, she took me to trial and we won sole custody. My children and I will never be able to repay this unbelievable attorney and person. If she believes in you and your case like she did mine... there is no stopping this woman in her pursuit of justice. If you need to fight for your children and your rights, there is no better attorney.

Emily Arthur is a Great Lawyer

So I called her office when I needed child custody assistance, and she was quick to help me and tell me what we needed to do. She is a very caring, and she wants whats best the for the kids. I didn't need her for any other services yet but I would definitely recommend her. She never gives up!
