As a Rockford divorce attorney with years of experience, my mission is to provide Northern Illinois clients with the support, guidance, and legal advocacy in identifying and seeking to achieve their objectives in divorce, property division, spousal support, child support, and related matters.

We can help reduce the stress of your divorce by taking on the full responsibility for handling legal issues, and by explaining how the law applies to your case and how the Court process works.
I start by learning the facts and circumstances of your situation, which includes gathering appropriate documents and asking the right questions so that I can accurately assess the financial situation of your marriage. It is my duty to uncover issues you may not have thought to raise. I will listen to your objectives and provide you with an honest assessment of the likely outcomes you face and the options you have.

Divorce typically entails resolving matters relating to assets, property, debts, child custody, and support; however, it does not need to be highly contentious and filled with acrimony.
My focus is on getting the best outcome possible for clients based on their objectives and Illinois law, as well as developing a pragmatic and cost-effective plan for reaching an agreement on critical aspects. In some cases, it may not be possible to reach a consensus. If this occurs, I will not hesitate to bring a case before an Illinois family court in seeking a favorable and just outcome. Together we will develop a strategy toward getting you the best outcome possible.
