Bio
Since 1991 I have concentrated my law practice exclusively in the area of "family law," including divorce, parentage, custody, support and maintenance (alimony) and all areas of family law and matrimonial matters. After graduating from the University of Chicago (1985), I attended Chicago-Kent College of Law where I was a member of the Law Review. I am licensed to practice in Illinois and has been recognized by the courts of New York, New Jersey, California, Florida, and Indiana to represent clients in family law matters in those jurisdictions. I have made a career of trying family law matters in Illinois and have successfully argued before the Illinois Appellate Court.
I have authored several works on divorce and family law. Since 1997 I have authored and updated the Illinoisdivorce.com website -- a recognized authority on the topics of family law matters in Illinois. In 2008 I was honored to receive the American Bar Association's Keane Award for "Excellence in e-Lawyering."
I am a member of the American Bar Association (Family Law Section), the Illinois State Bar Association (Family Law Section), and the Chicago Bar Association (Matrimonial Law Committee).
