Complex Case Experience An Approachable, Highly Responsive Attorney

As a partner in the Chicago office of a large, prestigious firm for many years, I refined the skills needed to handle extremely complex matters effectively. You can turn to my firm, Blacha Law Office, Ltd. for focused guidance and assertive protection of your interests if you are, for example:

• Facing divorce and all that entails in terms of difficult decisions impacting children, property and your personal future
• Confronting another challenging family law issue such as a change in circumstances that calls for a post-decree modification of child support, alimony, custody or visitation
• In need of comprehensive estate planning counsel, whether you have basic assets and straightforward goals or substantial wealth and sophisticated objectives
• In need of assistance with immigration needs, such as citizenship and naturalization, obtaining legal permanent residency (commonly known as a green card), family-based immigration, deportation defense, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), and asylum or refugee status

I am a certified family law mediator available to serve in that capacity or put my proven dispute resolution abilities to work as a dedicated advocate for you. I strive to achieve affordable, non adversarial resolution whenever possible but always stand ready for litigation if that is the necessary path. Similarly, I am able to negotiate from a position of strength out of court with the prosecutor's office, or fight vigorously should your case go to trial.
