Can anyone recommend a good yet affordable divorce lawyer in Chicago (preferably downtown or south side), if such a thing exists.

Any recommendations or advice welcome.

I'm not sure how far south your looking but, I just used a lawyer from Evergreen Park and he was great and not to expensive. They are on 95th Street next door to Little Company of Mary Hospital and the name is Wayne and Fidler. If you eed anything else please feel free to contact me.

It depends on what you have to spend vs. what you're trying to obtain. A retainer for most attorney's in cook county for an uncontested divorce (meaning he doesn't try to fight it) is a minimum of $750 plus filing fees. Cook County petition for dissolution is about $250. If you just want out and you can get him to sign the papers, the county will let you file the petition yourself and ONLY pay the filing fee. Check out the website before you hire an attorney. cookcountyclerkofcourt.com

Dear R.,

I've got a GREAT lawyer. I used him for my divorce where my ex-husband and his mother (don't you figure) had 3 lawyers between them. Patrick was honest, economical and excellent. He's also a real estate lawyer.

His info is:
Patrick J. Powers
19 South LaSalle St.
Suite 902
Chicago 60603

If he asks how you heard of him, you can say I (L. O. (pronounced: olen-e-chalk))recommended him. He's a good guy, and not just for a lawyer. He was recommneded to me by a friend at the Chicago Board of Trade. I think a buddy's wife used Patrick and that's why they knew he was good!

Good luck to you. Divorce can suck but if you have a good lawyer it's a little less unpleasant.
