As a Northbrook divorce lawyer, I understand that divorces can be messy, complicated, and confusing. Those going through a divorce — or considering one — should retain the right divorce attorney to advise them throughout the process. I have years of experience handling divorce cases in the Northbrook, Illinois area.
Clients in Northbrook come to me for many reasons to guide them through what is often the most difficult and stressful time of their lives. I listen to you and make sure all your questions are answered. I present different strategies and together we weigh the options.
As A Northbrook Divorce Lawyer I Pay Attention
In general, the decision to divorce is not arrived at lightly, especially when children are involved. When considering divorce, hiring the right divorce attorney is the most critical step. Our goal is to help make the decisions that protect your legal rights and are in the best interests of your family and your children. We listen and provide the right advice for you.
Most divorce cases end with a settlement, so having a divorce lawyer that has a track record of successfully negotiating cases is important. Some divorces can’t be resolved with a settlement, and in those cases, it’s equally important to have an attorney who is experienced in the courtroom. Strong litigators keep their clients out of court, but if a trial is necessary, we are experienced litigators who feel confident working with the court system. I have experience arguing cases for clients who live in Northbrook and in both Cook and Lake counties.
Let Us Take Away Stress And Anxiety
In any divorce, critical decisions are made with results that can affect you for years to come. Certainly, you may be able to seek divorce modifications down the road, but it does not apply to everything and it is not always easy regarding children, property, and shared assets. It can be difficult to make level-headed decisions while going through a divorce and it’s vital to choose an advocate who can guide you through each decision calmly.
I know the consequences of going through a divorce and have handled hundreds of divorce cases. I know the Northbrook area and school system. It is my goal to ensure no detail — large or small — is overlooked and to help my clients make clear-headed, intelligent, and informed decisions.
Empathy With Firmness
Divorce is an emotionally charged event, but it is important for the parties involved to make decisions based on facts. I help my clients through that process, presenting each option in a straight-forward manner. I work to take as much of the stress of the divorce off of my clients as possible. I am open-minded and an active listener so that I can best meet my clients’ individual needs.
Our team works hard every day to help people going through divorce cope with stress, uncertainty, fear, and financial issues that come with the territory.
