Services
Family Law
Our family law practice handles all aspects of divorce, child custody, and spousal maintenance. We guide clients through property division, parentage disputes, and orders of protection. With personalized strategies, we protect parental rights and financial interests while prioritizing children's well-being. Our attorneys negotiate fair settlements and litigate when necessary.
Criminal Defense
We defend clients against felony and misdemeanor charges including DUIs, drug offenses, and violent crimes. Our approach combines plea negotiations with aggressive courtroom defense to minimize penalties. We challenge evidence admissibility, protect constitutional rights, and work to preserve clients' futures through reduced charges or dismissed cases.
Child Support
We help establish, modify, or enforce child support orders using Illinois' income shares model. Our attorneys address shared parenting time calculations, income imputation issues, and enforcement actions. We advocate for fair financial arrangements that reflect both parents' circumstances and children's needs.
Orders of Protection
We assist with emergency and plenary orders of protection in domestic violence cases. Our representation includes both obtaining protective orders for victims and defending against false allegations. We navigate expedited court processes while safeguarding clients' legal rights and reputations.
DUI Defense
Our DUI defense focuses on challenging chemical test accuracy, questioning traffic stop validity, and negotiating reduced charges. We examine police procedure compliance and present alternative explanations for field sobriety test results. Our goal is to minimize license suspensions and long-term criminal record impacts.
