Here is what our clients have to say:
"Thank you for your concern regarding keeping the [collaborative] process moving . . . At times, each one of us has had to slow down to mentally adjust . . . I realize that a relationship which existed for over 25 years does not unravel quickly. I also think that by allowing each of us the time we needed, enabled [us] to maintain as good a relationship that we have. Thank you." - Client, Downers Grove
"From our first meeting to the last, you were very caring and supportive to me. I trusted your judgment at a very difficult time in my life. I am very pleased that I chose your firm to represent me." - Client
“Thank you very much for being there for me and for representing me. I’ve come a long way and did it the right way. Again, I appreciate all the time you spent with me.” - Client, Clarendon Hills
“We were able to do all the work together in a friendly, non-argumentative manner. This was most important for the sake of our son, me and [my former husband] . . . I would say the results exceeded how I thought things would turn out. I didn’t think any divorce could be ‘friendly.’” - Client, Wheaton
". . . Things are good. I closed on my new home. My sister is over there painting the walls. I hung up that sheet you did explaining collaborative -- that post-it note flip chart . . .It's up on the wall so I can explain what we did . . . This really has been much more positive than I expected it to be." - Client, Downers Grove
Here is what our colleagues have to say:
"I absolutely love working with you because you embrace the collaborative process with integrity and zeal and I respect that very much." - Attorney, Oak Brook
“It is a pleasure to work with someone who takes the Collaborative principles to heart and acts accordingly.” - Attorney, Chicago
“I just gave your name to someone . . . I knew I could recommend you highly because you have a unique combination of cheerfulness and skill/thoughtfulness. The ‘skilled’ ones are often dour or downright surly or arrogant and the cheerful ones often substitute cheer for knowledge – you have both, which is TERRIFIC!!!” - Attorney, Chicago
"I deeply appreciate the working relationship we have enjoyed in assisting [our respective clients]. Your ability to keep the parties focused and more importantly for my benefit, the notes that you have provided in summary and in support of the ongoing work in the collaborative process, have been of great assistance." - Attorney, Western Springs
