If you are considering resolving your divorce through collaborative law, we are fully prepared to help you. Contact us today online or by phone at 312-269-4600 to speak with Attorney Michael L. Shevick or a member of his well-trained staff.

Attorney Michael L. Shevick is a member of the Collaborative Law Institute of Illinois, giving his clients a formidable ally in the collaborative law process. Mr. Shevick and his highly-skilled staff are adept at seeking solutions through mediation, negotiation and collaborative law, but are always prepared to stand up for our clients' rights in court.
The collaborative law process is different from other methods of divorce in that each party is represented by an attorney who has signed an agreement not to bring the matter to court. This creates an incentive for both parties to resolve the issue through honest and candid negotiation. Hopefully, the collaborative law process creates non-adversarial interactions between the parties that promote solutions rather than obstructions. The parties have one goal –- to help their families.
