Northbrook Family Law Explained
A Northbrook family law attorney is usually considered synonymous with being known as a divorce lawyer. The main differentiation is that being a family law attorney includes being trained and knowledgeable in legal practice areas that involve children and other family relationships. Just a few of these areas are child custody, grandparents’ rights, and adoptions. Some other areas that do not include children are pre and postnuptial agreements, and not all divorces involve children.

I have handled numerous family law cases for clients living in Northbrook and the surrounding suburbs. I pride myself on staying current with legal divorce updates and family law trends. Being born and raised in the area gives me an advantage.
Illinois Family Law
Most recently Illinois has made some major changes to the terminology in family law. What was always known as Child Custody is now legally known as Allocation of Parental Responsibilities. The term Visitation is now referred to as Parenting Time. There are new Pet Custody laws. It is important to hire Northbrook family lawyers that are familiar with Illinois Divorce and Child Custody Law and comfortable working in the specific court system where your case is filed. I bring my years of experience combined with an in-depth understanding of family law in both Cook and Lake Counties to every case I handle.
Emotional and Confusing Times
Family law cases can be deeply emotional and, at times, confusing for clients. I work to give our clients self-assurance before making critical decisions about their future. Individuals involved in family law cases are not aware of what they can realistically expect. I make sure to explain everything in layman’s terms, so my clients understand what they are agreeing to and what the consequences are. I work vigorously for you to receive the best results that are allowed under Illinois law.
