Chicago Domestic Relations Lawyer

Overview

Sally's practice is centered around domestic relations and domestic violence as a litigator, a mediator, and a collaborative attorney. She knows that each family has its own unique dynamics, and her job is to help her clients successfully meet the goals they have for their family. Whether the issue is orders of protection, allocation of parental responsibilities (custody), parenting time, child support, divorce, or enforcing her clients' rights under the law, Sally will put their needs and expectations first and foremost to get a successful outcome.

Sally has had some of the best mentors in the field to help form her unique experience in domestic relations. She knows when it is appropriate to fight vigorously for rights, and when to try to work collaboratively to achieve the best outcome in a realistic timeframe. Sally has achieved countless positive results both through judgments, orders, and agreements for her clients.

In the field of domestic relations, Illinois law provides the rules and guidelines that attorneys must follow to achieve results for their clients. Sally believes that when the law is on her client's side, but a judge or opposing party does not recognize those rights, vigorous litigation is essential to achieve her client's goals. Other times, when financial and circumstantial constraints present themselves, mediation or collaborative law can best achieve her client's goals and rights within the law in a shorter time for lesser fees. As such, Sally confidently practices as a litigator with courtroom experience, and also holds a certificate in Divorce Mediation from the Northwestern School of Professional Studies.

Additionally, Sally has extensive experience prosecuting and defending orders of protection in both civil and criminal settings. Protecting the safety and well-being of victims of domestic violence is an essential part of her practice. At the same time, defending the rights of those accused of domestic violence is equally important, in order to truly protect those in need and avoid the inappropriate use of domestic violence courts to achieve unintended results.

Sally is open-minded and ready to fight for the best outcome for her clients. Call her for a consultation about litigation, mediation, and collaborative law in the context of your situation. She looks forward to speaking with you and helping you achieve your goals.

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.
