What happens next
A private conversation
You call or write, and we listen. Thirty minutes, confidential, no paperwork. You tell us what is happening; we tell you what Illinois law actually says about it. If you never call again, nothing ever comes of it.
A plan in plain words
If you want to go further, we map your situation: what is likely, what it costs, what you can do now to protect yourself and your children. You get it in writing, in language you can read without a lawyer beside you.
You decide the pace
Nothing is filed until you say so. Some clients act the same week; some wait months while they get ready. Both are normal, and we will never rush you into a step you can’t take back.
Other practice areas
Separation and divorce
From the first filing to the final decree, with honest expectations about timing and cost at every step.
Custody and parenting time
Parenting plans built around your children’s actual routines — school, activities, both homes.
Mediation and collaborative divorce
Settling matters without a courtroom when both of you are willing — usually calmer, faster and less expensive.
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements
Clear agreements made while things are good, so they never have to be argued about later.
Changing an existing order
Support, parenting time and relocation orders can be revisited when life genuinely changes. We tell you first whether yours can.
