Elmhurst, Illinois Family Law Attorneys
Divorce Attorney vs. Family Law Attorney
While it may seem as though there is a surplus of divorce lawyers in the Chicago area, it is important to recognize the difference between a divorce attorney and a family law attorney. Although the terms are sometimes used interchangeably, divorce law is only one of the many issues encompassed by family law.
A divorce attorney may not have the necessary skills or knowledge to represent you in any family law matter other than a divorce, however, a family law attorney can handle divorce litigation as well as any premarital or postmarital family law issue from paternity matters, to prenuptial agreements, to mediation and so forth. Weiss-Kunz & Oliver, LLC practices both family law and collaborative law, so our lawyers have extensive experience in all family law matters and clients consistently benefit from this level of experience.
Easing the Difficulties of Divorce and Other Family Law Issues
At Weiss-Kunz & Oliver, LLC we understand how difficult it is to go through a divorce or other family matter; it can feel like you are on a giant roller coaster that never stops long enough to get off. We take pride in the fact that we shoulder the burden of the legal aspect of your family law issue, allowing you to use your time to heal emotionally and make plans for your future. We understand that communication is the cornerstone of the family law attorney/client relationship.
In addition to divorce and legal separation, our attorneys can effectively assist you with the following family law matters:
- Adoption;
- Paternity Matters;
- Child Representation;
- Same Sex Marriage and Divorce;
- Restraining Orders and Orders of Protection;
- Mediation; and
- Prenuptial and Postnuptial Agreements (also known as Premarital Agreements and Antenuptial Agreements)
When a client comes into our office he or she speaks directly to an attorney rather than to support staff. We make sure the clients’ files are available to them and return phone calls and emails in a timely manner. Our lawyers will clearly communicate with you regarding the strategy, planning, and preparation for your particular family law issue. In short, our clients receive time, caring, patience and an advocate in their corner, as well as experience gained from Maxine Weiss Kunz while working for one of the top family law firms in Chicago.
