Illinois doesn't automatically divide your assets 50/50. We work with forensic accountants & valuation experts to trace and protect every asset that's rightfully yours.
Confidential. You speak with a licensed attorney, not an intake team.
Businesses, practices and equity compensation rarely have an obvious number. Fair market value, goodwill and owner compensation are argued, not assumed.
Undisclosed accounts, cryptocurrency, deferred bonuses and underreported business income require formal discovery and forensic review.
Only the part of a retirement account earned during the marriage is divided, and even unvested stock awards may be partly marital.
In a high net worth divorce, classification and valuation decide the outcome. These are the four places it happens.
We determine what portion is marital, work with valuation professionals, and pursue structured buyouts or equalization payments.
RSUs, stock options, deferred compensation and bonuses are classified by grant date, purpose and vesting schedule before they are divided.
Private plans need a QDRO and Illinois public pensions need a QILDRO, drafted to avoid unintended taxes and penalties.
Subpoenas, depositions and forensic accounting surface concealed money. When dissipation is proven, the court may award the other spouse a larger share.
High net worth separations touch every corner of a marital estate. We identify it, value it correctly and structure a division that holds up.
Closely held companies, partnerships, professional practices and family-owned businesses.
Stock options, RSUs, deferred compensation, performance bonuses and long-term incentives.
Marital residences, multiple real estate holdings and real estate investment portfolios.
401(k)s, pensions, IRAs, and public and military retirement, each divided with the order that plan requires.
Forensic tracing of undisclosed accounts, cryptocurrency and improper transfers.
Drafting, enforcing or challenging marital agreements.
Separating marital from non-marital property, and addressing commingled funds.
Maintenance and child support built on real income, including bonuses and earning capacity.
Business liabilities, tax obligations and loans, allocated along with the assets.
We take a strategic approach that reduces unnecessary conflict while still pushing for the result you deserve.

Every consultation is with a licensed divorce and family law attorney. Not a salesperson, not a case manager, not an intake team.
We work with forensic accountants, business valuation experts and financial professionals when the case calls for them.
Unlike many family law firms, we limit how many cases each attorney carries at one time, so your case gets real attention.
A private conversation with a licensed attorney about your assets and goals.
Sworn financial affidavits, documentation and, if needed, subpoenas and forensic review.
Classification, valuation and a division strategy, including buyouts and QDROs.
A settlement or judgment that protects the wealth you've built.
