First Response Family Law – Chicago, IL

Dedicated Legal Support for Front-Line Workers

First Response Family Law is a specialized legal practice in Chicago designed to serve the unique needs of front-line workers and first responders. Founded by Timothy ‘TJ’ Battistelli, a veteran who served over 16 years as a police officer, firefighter, and member of the U.S. Air Force, the firm offers a level of understanding that few other attorneys can match. They recognize that for police officers, firefighters, EMTs, and healthcare professionals, life does not follow a standard 9-to-5 schedule. The firm is dedicated to ensuring that the demands of public service do not compromise a client’s rights in family law matters.

Understanding the Badge and the Shift

Divorce and custody disputes can be particularly complex for first responders due to rotating shifts, mandatory overtime, and the high-stress nature of the job. First Response Family Law specializes in crafting creative child custody and parenting time arrangements that accommodate non-traditional work schedules. The firm fights to ensure that a parent’s dedication to public safety is not used against them in court. Key services include:

• Flexible Parenting Plans for Shift Workers
• Protection of Pension and Retirement Benefits
• Divorce and Asset Division
• Child Support Modifications

As part of the Walczak Law Group, the firm combines the resources of a larger practice with the personalized attention of a boutique firm. They pride themselves on accessibility, understanding that legal emergencies often happen outside of regular business hours. Whether you are a nurse, a veteran, or a civilian facing a difficult family transition, the firm offers a supportive environment to navigate the legal system with confidence.
