The Supreme Court of Illinois does not recognize certifications of specialties in the practice of law, and I do not hold myself out as a specialist. However, I concentrate my practice in the following areas: complex marital estates, division of marital assets, custody litigation, maintenance, child support and all other aspects of domestic relations law.
