Not Just Band-Aids,
But Real Solutions

Our attorneys have a comprehensive understanding of the issues that can affect families. We know how to ensure that legal concerns will be addressed effectively. Rather than taking a reactive approach to potential issues, we work closely with our clients to develop long-term solutions. Whether establishing workable parenting plans, dealing with concerns about suspected child abuse or neglect, or addressing matters related to education, we provide our clients with the legal help they need to maintain ongoing stability for their families while protecting their rights.

DCFS Defense

For parents, few issues can be as serious as accusations of child abuse or neglect. When doctors, teachers, neighbors, or others report suspicions about issues that could affect the safety of children, DCFS may perform investigations, and officials may take action to remove children from parents' custody and implement plans meant to protect the children's safety. Our lawyers can provide representation for parents in these situations, working to prevent the loss of custody or reunite families.

Why Hire Us?

With our experience handling matters involving DCFS, we can fight to protect the rights of parents and avoid disruptions to their families. We know how to counter accusations of abuse or neglect and help parents demonstrate that they can provide a safe and healthy environment for their children. In cases where children have been removed from a home or DCFS has issued unfavorable decisions, we can assist with appeals and advocate for family reunification.

Divorce

The breakdown of a couple's marriage can be a difficult situation to navigate, and issues such as property division, spousal support, child custody, and child support will need to be addressed. Our attorneys can provide effective representation for divorcing spouses, helping to resolve disputes, reach agreements, and make sure all legal concerns will be handled correctly as a couple completes the process of dissolving their marriage.

Family Law

In addition to providing representation during divorce, we can also help address other legal concerns that may affect parents or other family members. We can work with unmarried parents to establish child custody and child support agreements, including taking steps to establish paternity when necessary. We can also assist with guardianship cases, helping to ensure that minors or disabled adults will be able to receive the proper assistance and supervision.

Mediation

In many cases, families will want to do what they can to minimize conflict as they address legal issues. Our firm provides mediation services, working with spouses, parents, or other family members to resolve disputes outside of court. With our understanding of the legal concerns that will need to be addressed in these cases and our skill in conflict resolution, we can help people involved in family law cases negotiate agreements that will meet their needs.

Education Law

Parents and children may become involved in disputes with schools that could affect children's ability to receive a proper education. Our attorneys can provide representation in cases involving school discipline, working to protect students' rights and ensure that they will be able to continue attending school. We can also assist with concerns related to special education, helping students receive the accommodations they need to get the most out of their education.
