Like most people, you probably look for an experienced lawyer when you need legal assistance. In addition to having been an attorney for more than 25 years, I offer my clients the attention and effort they deserve in preparing for their cases.

Extensive Litigation Experience

I have been a trial lawyer for my entire career. Anyone who has been a trial lawyer will tell you that preparation and knowledge of the law are your two greatest weapons in litigation.

Experienced Chicago Divorce Lawyer

If you are facing a divorce, you should understand that you will have to make a number of important and difficult decisions that will have an impact on you and everyone else in your family.

Throughout my career, I have handled family law cases, which, in addition to divorce, may include:

* Child custody
* Child support
* Visitation
* Alimony
* Child abuse
* Neglect
* Child sexual abuse
* Grandparents' rights
* Parental kidnapping
* Stepparent adoption
* Orders of protection
* Domestic violence
* Division of property
* Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO)
* Name changes
* Paternity
* Post-divorce modifications
* Restraining orders
* Separation agreements

I have handled all of the above family law matters and would be happy to assist you with any of these issues. I also take pride in having been selected as an "Illinois Superlawyer." After a statewide survey of practicing attorneys conducted by Law & Politics, I was named as a Super Lawyer in Family Law in 2005 and 2006 as reported in Chicago Magazine.

Clients tell me that I am prepared, friendly, and helpful in my dealings with them. My opponents know that I am aggressive and forceful as I argue cases for my clients.

I am a proud member of the Virginia, New York, and Illinois Bar Associations, the Northwest Suburban Bar Association, and the Federalist Society.
