Helping You Reclaim Your Life and Future
If you are going through a divorce or are dealing with another family issue, this might be the first time you have needed to go to a lawyer's office. The information on this page will help you know what to expect.
My law office is conveniently located in Morton, across the Illinois river from Peoria. I am eight minutes from the Peoria County courthouse and 15 minutes from the Tazewell County courthouse. Behind my office building is our parking lot which my clients use free of charge. My office is quiet and comfortably decorated. You will be greeted with a smile by my staff and we will treat you with respect and professionalism.
A Solo Attorney Practice Dedicated to Personal Representation
I own and operate my own law practice. This means that I will be the attorney you meet during your initial consultation. It also means that I will be the attorney who handles your case from beginning to end. If your case needs to be tried before a judge, I will be the attorney who sits next to you in court and advocates for you. I have more than 30 years of experience in the practice of family law.
My clients find this comforting. Family law cases such as divorce and child custody disputes tend to be very emotional. As your lawyer, I will be your partner, not just for legal counsel but also for support.
My approach to family law tends to appeal to people who are going through a difficult situation. I take the time to listen to your concerns, to learn what you have experienced in your marriage or family life, and to work with you to develop goals for your case based upon your priorities. No one should make major decisions when they are feeling vulnerable. My goal as your lawyer is to help you make decisions from a source of strength.
