Verified ClientHired Law firm 2019-2020I obtained the services of Kathleen Bondi (Kathy) with Blacha Law office just a few months ago. With a Spouse located in another state, Kathy did an exceptional job getting my divorce finalized very quickly, as well as a marital/custody agreement that I was very pleased with. She is extremely knowledgeable on Illinois law and has a very calm demeanor about her which is very helpful during an emotional time. Her paralegal Jayme was nothing short of extraordinary. If you are in search of a top notch firm, Blacha Law will not disappoint.

Verified ClientHired Law firm 2019Everyone at Blacha Law made me feel completely taken care of. Going into the divorce process can be very scary I felt and not knowing what can be the outcome is even more scary. Monika and Jackie took care of everything and I couldn’t be more happy to enter the new year with a very fresh start!

Firm Information
Overview

If a legal concern involves your family, your financial security, your freedom or all of these, it matters to me. I am Monika Blacha, an attorney practicing in Illinois since 1999 who will treat you with care and respect as we help you achieve your most vital family-related personal and financial goals.
Every working day, I apply an outstanding education and extensive experience in negotiations, mediation and high-stakes litigation to resolve my clients' legal issues as favorably as possible. My clear mission is to provide the utmost in personally attentive, results-focused counsel in matters of divorce, family law, family law immigration and estate planning/probate.
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.
Call me today to start helping you stand up for your rights and get what you want from our legal system.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
