Amy earned her Juris Doctor degree from UIC John Marshall Law School in Chicago and a communication degree from DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana. Amy is a member of several bar associations and has authored legal articles which have appeared in numerous professional publications.
Amy’s prior experience of handling complex real estate and contract law matters is invaluable in handling contentious high asset divorce cases. Additionally, Amy clerked for the Judge Pamela McLean Meyerson in the Chancery Division of the Circuit Court of Cook County.
Amy’s wealth of experience in designing and implementing successful strategies to accomplish her client’s goals, combined with her tough negotiation and litigation skills, make her a formidable advocate for the rights of our clients.
Important Legal Case Victories:
- Amy worked tirelessly for our client, a great dad, and persuaded the court to award him sole custody of his daughter, and to deny the mother parenting time because she had allowed the little girl to be abused in exchange for drugs.
- Amy was an integral part of the Leving legal team that helped secure a pardon from the governor for our client for a long-ago offense. Obtaining this pardon kept our client from being deported from the United States and separated from his family and children. Such pardons are extremely rare and difficult to obtain. Now our client can continue living here, working and raising his children.

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.
