Through mediation, Angela helps individuals and couples work through disagreements in a structured, neutral environment, often reducing conflict, saving time, and avoiding the expense of litigation. For many families, mediation offers a more collaborative path forward.
What Our Clients say
“Angela and Ann are amazing! I felt heard and cared about. I had a very complicated case with many twists and turns which they stayed on top of. They fought hard for me to prove my case which helped me put stipulations in place to protect my 2 year old son. I highly recommend Angela if you want someone who truly cares!”

Family Law FAQs
What is family law?
Family law is a branch of civil law that deals with domestic relationships, including marriage, divorce, and child-related matters. It covers issues like custody, child support, property division, adoption, and orders of protection in situations involving domestic violence. These are often high-stakes, personal decisions that impact your daily life and future.
Do I need a family law attorney or a mediator?
Some family law matters can be resolved through mediation, especially when both parties are able to communicate and work toward agreement. Other situations require more structure and legal guidance, particularly when there are disagreements or complex issues involved. The right approach depends on your circumstances and what you’re trying to protect moving forward.
What does a family lawyer do?
A family lawyer provides legal advice, representation, and advocacy for issues involving domestic relationships. This includes handling divorce, custody, support, and financial matters, as well as preparing agreements and court filings. They also negotiate on your behalf and represent you if your case goes to court. Just as important, a family lawyer helps you understand your options and avoid costly mistakes.
How do I know if my situation requires going to court?
Not every family law case requires going to court, and many are resolved through negotiation or mediation. Court may be necessary if there are ongoing disagreements, urgent concerns, or a lack of cooperation from the other party. The right path depends on the specifics of your case.
What does family law cover?
Family law covers legal relationships and disputes between family members and domestic partners. This includes divorce, legal separation, parenting time, decision-making responsibilities, child support, spousal maintenance, and division of assets and debts. It can also involve agreements like prenuptial or postnuptial agreements, as well as enforcement or modification of court orders.
What if my spouse has already hired an attorney?
If your spouse has already hired an attorney, it’s important to have your own legal representation as soon as possible. Their attorney is there to represent their interests, not yours. Without your own counsel, you may not fully understand your rights or the long-term impact of decisions. Having an attorney helps ensure you’re on equal footing throughout the process.
How long does a family law case take in Illinois?
Family law cases in Illinois can take anywhere from a few months to over a year, depending on the complexity of the case. Angela will give you clear guidance about timelines when speaking with you about your case.
