Vernon Hills Family Law & Divorce Attorneys

You will find us in Suite 400 of the office building at 175 E Hawthorn Parkway in Vernon Hills. If you live or work nearby, that can mean meeting with your attorney over a long lunch or on the way home, instead of building half a day around the drive.

Family law is all we do. Divorce, custody, support, and the changes that come after a judgment are the entire job here, so your attorney is not splitting the week between your case and someone else’s business deal.

Know Your Fee Before You Sign

Your first question is probably what this will cost. We answer it before you hire us. You get a fixed fee quoted for the path your case is on, whether that is uncontested, mediated, or contested, and we do not bill by the hour as the case moves along. A rescheduled hearing or another round of motions from the other side does not start a meter running.

That changes how you work with your attorney. When calls and emails are not billed one by one, you can ask the question, send the email, and check in on your case without doing math first. If you would rather handle parts of the case yourself, Legal Coaching gives you attorney guidance one session at a time. You can compare the options on our Illinois pricing page.

Free Planning Tools for Illinois Families

It helps to get your own situation on paper before the first meeting. These free Illinois resources are a good place to start:

• Illinois parenting plan template, to sketch out a schedule and a decision-making plan you could actually live with.
• Illinois property division worksheet, to list what you own and what you owe before anyone starts negotiating.
• Illinois child support calculator, for a rough estimate before you sit down with an attorney.

Take the Next Step

You do not need every answer before you reach out. It is fine to come to the first conversation with more questions than plans. That is what the consultation is for. Use the Book My Consult form on this page, and we will reach out to you.
