Chicago Illinois Family Law Attorneys Gardiner Koch Weisberg & Wrona’s practice handles a wide range of domestic relations issues, including:

Five lawyers serve to represent family law clients: Tom Gardiner, Jim Koch, Lynn Weisberg, Jennifer Airato, and Michelle LaGrotta. The head of the Family Law Department, Lynn Weisberg, is also on a court-approved list of child’s representatives and is frequently appointed by judges to represent the interests of children in cases involving contentious custody and visitation litigation.

Recognizing that family law clients often are at their most vulnerable, the firm offers a caring environment while protecting our clients’ financial stability and the best interests of the children. The firm’s family lawyers attempt to minimize expensive and unnecessary litigation by encouraging parties to communicate and make the personal decisions that should be made by parents, and not an impartial judge who is not familiar with the intricacies of the family’s relationships. When this fails, however, the firm is prepared to litigate to protect our clients’ positions and we have prevailed in ensuring that our clients have the financial support to create their new life. The Family Law Department is comprised of experienced trial lawyers.

Two of our attorneys have been Adjunct Professors at Northwestern University’s School of Law teaching trial practice. One of these lawyers was supervisor of trial layers at the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office. Another has argued three cases before the United States Supreme Court. Because of our active trial practice, even our younger layers have proven themselves as fine trial lawyers.

We represent both men and women, with the goal of protecting parents’ relationships with their children and providing financial security for our clients. We recognize that traditional custody arrangements are not always appropriate and that parenting agreements, much like parenting, necessitate creativity and flexibility.

We also represent clients with a full range of personal assets; our clients are multi-millionaire business owners, young professionals, business owners, entrepreneurs, and salaried employees, and hourly wage earners. We are experienced in representing persons with inherited wealth and with desires to assure business succession and legacies for family members. Many of our clients have been divorced in the past.

Our family law lawyers work with highly competent financial planners,  real estate appraisers and brokers, actuaries, psychiatrists, psychologists, and mediators in order to meet the needs of our clients, both in and out of the courtroom.

In order to fulfill the terms of a divorce judgment or to protect assets after a divorce, the Family Law Department also works with clients to draft or revise estate plans and represents them in the purchase and/or sale of real estate.

Divorce Attorney Responsiveness When You Need It Most

The lawyers at GKW&W recognize that divorce ranks as the most stressful event that a person will experience in life. To that end, we promise to be responsive to your needs. We recognize that family matters are often of an emergency nature during divorce proceedings – especially those involving children or the dissipation of assets. We will analyze the problem, efficiently propose solutions, and act with haste to deal with the issues. If the other spouse avoids the issues or chooses delay as a strategy, we will not hesitate to proceed to court for action.
