Frequently Asked Questions
I live in Wayne. How do I know which county my case is in?
The jurisdiction is determined by your residential address for matters like divorce, or where an incident occurred for personal injury claims. As part of our initial consultation, we will verify the correct county and courthouse for your specific case, ensuring it is filed properly from the start.
Does it matter which courthouse my case is in?
Yes, it matters a great deal. While state and federal laws are the same, the local court rules, procedures, and even the judges themselves are different in DuPage and Kane counties. Having an attorney who is experienced in the correct courthouse is essential for navigating your case effectively.
How do you handle cases involving unique assets, like equestrian properties?
We have experience with a wide range of complex asset valuation and division, including real estate and business interests. For unique assets like equestrian properties, we work with qualified appraisers and experts to ensure they are properly valued and handled according to our client’s best interests during a divorce or bankruptcy.
