Dissolving a marriage is one of life's most stressful events even under the most amicable of circumstances. We guide our clients through this most stressful life event with compassion. We recognize that clients going through a divorce often have questions arise at all hours, and we encourage our clients to call and email us whenever such concerns arise so that we can be responsive to their needs. As both attorneys and certified mediators, our philosophy is to adjudicate the divorce as amicably and expeditiously as possible. On occasion, when a spouse or opposing counsel is behaving unreasonably, we are not afraid to use our years of trial experience to litigate on our client's behalf. In general however, Cotler Law LLC distinguishes itself from other divorce counsel in that it does not seek to escalate the already existing conflict and animosity between the parties. We recognize that divorcing couples often must continue to work together post divorce to raise children or grandchildren and believe that an amicable but fair resolution under the guidelines of the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution Act is in the best interests of all parties involved. If you are considering a divorce, we would be happy to present your interests as a legal advocate or discuss whether divorce mediation might be a viable option.
