A Fully Collaborative Approach

We are one of the few firms in Chicago where every attorney is a trained mediator and a Fellow of the Collaborative Law Institute of Illinois. We focus exclusively on non-adversarial methods of resolving disputes.

• Collaborative Divorce: In this process, both parties and their attorneys commit to resolving issues without going to court. We work with a team of financial and mental health professionals to craft agreements that meet the unique needs of your family.
• Mediation: As neutral mediators, we facilitate constructive dialogue between parties, helping them reach mutually beneficial agreements on custody, support, and property division.
• Adoption & Elder Law: We assist families in growing through adoption and help navigate the complex legal and emotional issues surrounding the care of aging loved ones.

Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements

Planning for the future is an act of care. We help couples establish clear financial understandings through prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, using our collaborative skills to ensure the process strengthens rather than strains the relationship.
