Cook County
Cook County is the center of the practice. Complex dissolution, parenting, maintenance and property cases are handled through a high-volume domestic relations system where preparation and procedural discipline matter.

Counties Served
Cook, Lake, DuPage, Will, Kendall and Kane Counties—six court systems, one clear case strategy.
Lake County
Lake County combines substantial professional and executive wealth with a distinct family-division practice in Waukegan. The western Lake County and North Shore corridors are important areas of focus.
COUNTY PAGE →DuPage County
DuPage County regularly presents sophisticated financial and parenting disputes. The court has an established family-law bench and a strong culture of settlement and mediation without eliminating the need for trial readiness.
COUNTY PAGE →Will County
Will County’s growth has brought more complex financial and parenting cases to Joliet. Business owners, professionals and families moving through the southwest suburbs need counsel that can handle both local procedure and sophisticated issues.
COUNTY PAGE →Kendall County
Kendall County’s smaller docket changes the courtroom rhythm but not the need for careful preparation. The practice includes dissolution, parenting, support and enforcement matters throughout the Oswego–Yorkville corridor.
COUNTY PAGE →Kane County
Kane County serves the Fox River corridor and western suburban communities. Family cases range from parenting disputes to business and executive compensation issues requiring the same financial discipline as downtown Chicago matters.
