I am looking for a divorce attorney/mediator in Cook County.
My husband is an attorney (in a different area) and refers to an divorce attorney on his floor. They are located at
205 W. Monroe, 4th floor in the loop (corner of Monroe and Wells). You may call my husband at ###-###-#### to get their number (I'm sorry I do not know it off hand) he just left for his office. Tell him you heard from here, he'll know what you are talking about, he has referred a few mama's from here.
I hope you will find a good one. I am an attorney and work part time. My boss does divorce and he is been around long time, he's a fierce "fighter." We're located across the Daley Center, downtown. the number is ###-###-####, ask for Mr. Dranias, recommened by M.-Ann. At least you have lots of responses and can find out fees and how you feel about the attorney. (When my husband sometimes threatens me with divorce, I tell him, don't you think I know the law...) So since you husband is an attorney, you should definitely get a really really good one for yourself. although since he wants to mediate, that can be a good sign, maybe you can still work things out, unless of course it's pointless. What kind of law does he practice?????
Hi T.,
You absolutely must check out The Lilac Tree - www.thelilactree.org. Write them and they will help. They are amazing women there to help empower other women who are about to start this new phase of life. Honestly, they are wonderful, and I'm sure they can give you great referrals.
Best wishes to you - M.
My good friend, Judge Karen Shields is a retiring from her job as a judge and moving into mediations and arbitrations. She is a divorce court judge with loads of experience. Beyond that she is a wonderful, wonderful human being. Please contact her at ____@____.com her know Alexa sent you and let me know if you need any more contact info!
Good Luck!
You MUST call Don Schiller -- spend one hour with him and have him refer you to the right person in his firm. Tell him M. Graham sent you. Call me if you have questions - ###-###-####.
Try Alyssa Mogul at Grund & Leavitt. I don't know how expensive she is, but she will fight for you like you wouldn't believe.
And she is a great attorney!

The reason former Judge Shields is "retired" is because she was a documented corrupt judge. She can no longer harm anymore children.

Former Judge Shields was exposed for being corrupt (i.e., extortion under the color of law, fraud, fraud upon the court, and bribery)in a panic she placed three MOMMY's on a statewide terrorist list to cover up her illegal activities. Defamation lawsuit Lake Cnty case No. 07 L 646 on appeal at the 2nd District case no. 2-08-0574. She was one of the founding members of Nadler, Pritikin & Mirabelli.
A good friend of ours, Patty Wagner is a family atty in the city. She is professional, smart and kind. She's at Stein & Stien located at 55 E. Monroe. Their phone number is ###-###-####. I'm certain that she'll take good care of you!
Good luck!

Jerry Ezgur - he handled mine and is very professional. You can call his assistant Elizabeth. She is absolutely wonderful. ###-###-#### His office is downtown and he is very reasonable with rates and seasoned in his job.

Be careful about a husband who is an attorney who wants a mediator. He knows all of the laws and you need an advocate that knows just a much. All of my friends (I am in my 50's) were financially taken advantage of in divorce. Good luck. A.
The attorney I used was Andrea Hoeflich. Her office is in Downers Grove, but she always met me in the city. Her number is ###-###-####. I worked with her about 8 years ago so do not know her current fees or limitations. Good luck.
