Client review
“I needed an order of protection immediately. My lawyer filed the emergency petition and came with me to court the next morning. Judge granted the order on the spot. She also helped me file for divorce and temporary child custody the same week. I went from trapped to safe in days.”

Client review
“My ex moved to Indiana with our kids without telling me. My lawyer filed an emergency motion the same day I found out. Court ordered the kids back to Illinois within a week. Then we fought for and won joint custody with me as primary. He understood how devastating it was for me as a father.”

Child Custody
Client review
“My husband controlled all our finances. I didn't even have access to our bank accounts. My lawyer got a temporary support order on day one so I could pay rent. Then during discovery, she found he'd been transferring money to his family in Iraq for years. Judge gave me a larger share of what was left.”
