Ann McGinnis O'Connell | Rolling Meadows Divorce Lawyer

Family law encompasses various areas such as Divorce, Child Support, Spousal Maintenance, and more. If you have any family-related concerns, reach out to Ann O’Connell Law, Ltd. for assistance.

I concentrate my practice on family law and divorce cases in Cook County and Lake County, Illinois. My approach prioritizes resolving family disputes with integrity and in the best interests of children. I assist spouses in divorces, address parenting plan issues, securing child support and maintenance, drafting legal documents, and represent clients at court hearings and meetings.

While all lawyers aim to help their clients, as a family law and divorce lawyer, I understand the complexities involved, including children's well-being, justice for abused spouses, and property division matters.

With specific experience in property division, backed by a history in finance and accounting, and 17 years of financial industry experience, I personally handle financial investigations and analyses for clients. I also collaborate with top financial experts in the divorce field to provide support if needed during trials.

Having successfully managed numerous divorces, with a strong track record in negotiating settlements and trial work, I am well-versed in mediation and familiar with divorce judges in Cook and Lake County, Illinois. I emphasize mediation and negotiation but am prepared for assertive advocacy in court if necessary.

My team and I are available to address your questions, keep you updated on your case progress, and share all relevant information. I will brief you on strategies before proceeding, ensuring that decisions are made with your input.

My fee structure is competitive and hourly, with a commitment to fair and reasonable invoicing. If appropriate, I will seek court orders for your spouse to cover the fees.

My strong communication skills allow me to interact effectively and empathetically with clients facing emotionally challenging family law issues.

Ann started her law firm in 2005 with the goal of providing compassionate, thoughtful, and client-focused legal representation. With her experience and knowledge of the law, she works diligently to listen to her clients' needs and find the best solution to fit their specific situation. No two cases are identical, and she can give each client specialized attention to achieve the best possible outcome.

Clients should look for experience, transparency, and commitment to your case.

We have knowledge of the Cook County, DuPage County, and Lake County court and judges.

During an initial consultation, you will talk to Ann about the details of your situation and Ann can provide different legal options to proceed.

It is helpful when a client knows the timeline of events regarding the situation with which they need assistance. If there is an existing case on file, the case number is useful as well.

As a solo practitioner, I can commit myself to your case. I dedicate myself to providing quality legal representation for my clients. I am always available for a phone call, Zoom, or meeting to discuss your case.

The most rewarding aspect of my job is helping families find solutions to a variety of issues. My clients often feel a sense of relief when we have found the best legal solution possible.

In my free time, I am an avid golfer and tennis player.

I am involved in my community through the Women's Club of Evanston and the Lilac Tree in Evanston.
