Integrated Solutions for Family Law Disputes
Divorce and separation often involve more than legal paperwork—they require deep financial insight. Our professionals are uniquely qualified to investigate and evaluate assets such as investment portfolios, retirement accounts, real estate, and business interests. We combine forensic accounting with valuation expertise to support equitable outcomes, and our mediation services offer a collaborative path forward when litigation isn’t the best option. We work with individuals, families, and attorneys to resolve disputes with precision and discretion.
With more than 130 years of combined experience, our attorneys and CPAs are prepared to address both the financial aspects involved in dissolving a marriage and the economic ramifications spouses face when their joint or individual finances are complex. Our founding partners are peer review-rated AV Preeminent by Martindale-Hubbell, and we are proud to be the go-to source for other attorneys throughout Illinois who need qualified guidance in complex matrimonial matters involving forensic accounting, asset valuation and divorce mediation.
