Family Law

CONTESTED CASES

I handle contested divorce matters involving all aspects of matrimonial law. This includes divorce, custody, visitation, child support, maintenance (alimony) college expenses paternity, adoptions, annulments and orders of protection. I have been practicing family law since November 1986. My experience in this area allows me to save you money and time in the end.

UNCONTESTED CASES

I will do an uncontested case in 30 days or less.

ADOPTION

There is no area of the law that gives me more pleasure than the practice of adoption law. I CAN NOT find you a baby but once you have one I can speed you through the process of making that child yours. I handle private adoptions, agency adoptions and DCFS referral adoptions. In private adoptions the situation usually arises when on party wants to adopt their spouse's children after years of raising them. Agency and DCFS adoptions are cases where the children are placed with the families and the parental rights of the biological parents are terminated already or can be terminated in the adoption proceeding. The process can be started immediately in most circumstances.
