Lake County Family Law Attorney

I know that family and financial matters can be stressful, which is why I aim to provide empathetic representation to clients in the following areas:

• Divorce — For clients undergoing a traditional divorce, I represent them in court. I also assert my clients’ rights during uncontested divorce cases, making sure that all agreed upon decisions involving child support, child custody and alimony reflect their best interests. When it comes to establishing or disputing paternity, I guide both men and women through the process.
• Adoption — If you are looking to add a new member to your family, I will walk you through the somewhat complicated steps involved in intra-family or agency adoptions.
• Bankruptcy — If you have debt, I will consult with you to determine whether filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy or Chapter 13 bankruptcy is in your best interest by considering your exemptions, income, the nature of your debt and your long-term goals.

I also act as a divorce mediator, which allows individuals to go through a more streamlined divorce process that saves them time and money. As a neutral third party, I facilitate discussions between both parties in order to help them settle disputes and reach a mutually beneficial solution.
