Domestic Violence

Through my firm, I empower survivors of domestic violence to secure civil orders of protection and navigate the legal system with sensitivity and care, ensuring their safety and well-being. I also provide victim’s rights representation in criminal cases:

Navigating the civil or criminal legal system after experiencing violence can be stressful and overwhelming. I offer trauma-informed, compassionate legal representation for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault to help ensure your rights are protected and your voice is heard.

I offer assistance with:

  • Understanding the different types of abuse, including emotional, verbal, and psychological.

  • Understanding each step of the civil or criminal justice process - from reporting and investigation through prosecution and potential outcomes

  • Providing legal representation and advocacy during every phase of the case

  • Communicating with law enforcement, prosecutors, and other agencies involved in your matter

  • Helping you assert and enforce your rights as a crime victim under Illinois law

  • Offering guidance on protective orders, victim impact statements, and related legal remedies

My goal is to help you move through the legal system with clarity and confidence, while prioritizing your safety and dignity at every step.
