“If you cannot come to an agreement as to how to handle your family’s affairs between two adults, the court will have to decide for you.” -the Honorable Raul Vega, Judge, Circuit Court of Cook County, Domestic Relations

Family

Antoine hadn’t been allowed to see his son for three months after his relationship with the child’s mother broke down and she refused to give him access.

Mercedez sought a clean, legal break from her abusive husband and custody of their three young children.  

Bridget had stayed sober for four years and hoped she could convince the court to return custody of her daughter.

In each of these cases and in every family law matter we address, we seek to both create stability for our clients’ families and support them in maintaining it long-term.

Our attorneys and social workers are sensitive to domestic violence issues that frequently arise, and we strive to resolve as many matters as possible outside of court through active mediation, while passionately defending our clients’ safety and the welfare of their children.

Our Family Law Program handles matters including custody, visitation, minor guardianship, orders of protection, and domestic violence-related divorce. Our primary guideline for case acceptance is the extent to which our involvement has the potential for long-term impact on each family’s safety and stability.
