I am a general practice lawyer who has been practicing in Lake and McHenry counties for over 5 years. I primarily focus on real estate matters (including residential and commercial sales, 1031 exchanges, landlord/tenants matters, foreclosures and leases) family law (including divorce, child support, post decree matters and QDROs) estate planning (including wills, trusts and powers of attorney) as well as personal injury.

I pride myself on taking the time to talk to my clients making sure that they understand the situation they are facing and enabling them to make an informed decision as to how to proceed based on knowing what their options are. I enjoy the practice of law and the relationships that I develop with my clients. Consulting with a lawyer does not have to be an unpleasant experience and I look forward to showing that to you.

I specialize in bankruptcy and related civil litigation such as foreclosure and credit card lawsuits. I also practice in Family and Real Estate Law. I am licensed in Illinois and Wisconsin, as well as the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois and the Eastern District of Wisconsin.  
 
Prior to entering law school I worked as an engineering software developer in La Crosse, Wisconsin. I am a graduate of The John Marshall Law School and the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse.    
 
I take pride in treating everyone with respect and courtesy. I do not feel my time is more valuable than that of my clients or opposing counsel. I take a personal interest in the financial and legal well-being of my clients.

I obtained my major in Psychology from DePaul University and later graduated from DePaul College of Law with my Certificate in Family Law.  I have almost exclusively practiced Family law my entire career and specialize in Agreed/Contested Divorce, Custody, Child Support, Adoptions, Removal (moving out of state), Parentage, Employer Withholding issues, Pre-Nuptial Agreements, Maintenance (Alimony), Post Decree matters and QDRO/QILDRO’s.  My approach towards resolving legal issues is quick and cost efficient, without compromising quality representation.  I believe in being practical and offering you advice on how you should proceed, however the final decision is always yours.  In addition to being an Attorney, I am also a Court approved Mediator, Child Representative and Guardian ad Litem.

I am also very active in the legal community and am currently the President of the Association of Women Attorneys of Lake County and a member of the Seminar Planning committee for the Family Law Section of the Lake County Bar Association. I strongly believe in giving back to society and volunteer as a Teen Court Judge for the Northern Illinois Center for Alcohol and Substance Abuse (NICASA) and also serve on the Board of Directors for the YWCA.

I am proud of my Eastern Indian upbringing and trust it has empowered me to deal with issues related to Family law more effectively.  I look forward to meeting with you, discussing the particulars of your case and potentially representing you.
