Divorce
Dissolving a relationship can be emotionally and financially devastating. Our Chicago domestic law attorneys are skilled in alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation, as well as courtroom litigation. Whenever possible, we help our clients negotiate divorce agreements that meet their individual needs while minimizing emotional turmoil and distress. Mediation can be an invaluable asset in helping people effectively communicate and reach agreement. It can also save time and money.
Our attorneys bring added knowledge to the table that helps clients with complex real estate concerns or small family-owned businesses as they consider the issues of property division. We will ensure that proper consideration has been given to valuation of properties and the tax consequences of these assets.
