Practice Areas

Adoption

I provide assistance related to adoption to secure legal relationships between parents and children.  These services include agency or agency-assisted, private or independent, foster care, related and stepparent and Interstate adoptions.   

Contact me for further information on the different options of build and safeguard your family.  

Assisted Reproductive Technology

In recent years, the medical technology for creating families has grown incredibly fast.  The law continues to track those advances and protect the participants.  The legal requirements are detailed in the Illinois Gestational Surrogacy Act, and mandate strict compliance.  I am here to help with the drafting or review of Surrogacy Contracts, to ensure they contain the critical components for success.  

Guardianship

In some cases, achieving permanency means establishing a legal guardianship for a child or adult. I guide clients through the legal process to secure that protection and help ensure the individual feels safe and supported.

Real Estate

Protect your home, protect your family. I deliver expert guidance, trusted counsel, and personal attention for every real estate decision and transaction.

 Estate Planning

Planning for your future is one of the most meaningful ways to care for your family. I offer clear guidance on wills, powers of attorney, and all critical estate planning matters.
