Highland Park Family Law & Divorce Attorneys

You will find us in the 1770 First Street building in downtown Highland Park, with covered parking in the building off Laurel Avenue. It is an easy stop before work or after a school drop-off, which matters more than it sounds like when you are trying to handle a divorce without rearranging your whole week around it.

Family law is the only thing we practice. Not a department, not a sideline. Nobody working on your case is also closing on a house this afternoon.

Transparent Pricing with No Surprises

This is what most people call about, so here it is plainly. We do not bill by the hour. Before you sign anything, you get a fixed fee quoted for the path your case is on, whether it is uncontested, mediated, or contested.

Research, phone calls, emails, the drive to court, and the time your attorney spends on your file are covered by that fee, so a continued hearing or a stack of motions from the other side does not start an hourly meter. Under an hourly arrangement, every question has a price, so people stop asking them. Taking the meter out of the room is the entire point.

Free Illinois Tools You Can Use Before You Call

Most people want a rough idea of the numbers before they talk to anybody. That is fair. These are free and they are yours to use:

• Illinois child support calculator, for an estimate based on the state’s income shares guidelines.
• Illinois alimony calculator, for a ballpark on maintenance before you lose sleep over it.
• Illinois divorce forms, so the paperwork is not a surprise when it lands.

Take the Next Step

Most people who call have been turning this over for months before they pick up the phone. There is no wrong time to start, and the first conversation is about your situation, not a pitch. Call the Highland Park office or use the book my consultation form on this page, and we will reach out to you.
