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.
