Divorce, Matrimonial and Family Law
Representation with Compassion, Dedication and Integrity
Maureen A. Mitchel, principal and founder of Mitchel Law Offices, concentrates her practice in all areas of family law.
A seasoned litigator, Maureen’s practice is focused on matrimonial and family law matters and covers the spectrum of issues that arise in simple, complex and disputed domestic relations cases including divorce, separation, child related matters, removal, parentage, pre-nuptial and post-nuptial agreements and post-decree litigation.
Family law matters are often difficult and emotionally charged as a family’s finances and day to day living arrangements may be significantly impacted. There may be changes regarding how decisions are made if there is a child, where a child lives, how often a parent sees a child, how to pay for two households instead of one, how to separate the many financial and emotional entanglements that result from a marriage and other challenging issues. Maureen works diligently to help families find sensible solutions to a wide range of family law issues outside of the courtroom. However, if litigation is the needed approach, Maureen is ready to be your seasoned advocate and trial attorney.
Maureen is certified to represent children in the Cook County Domestic Relations Division as a Child Representative and Guardian ad Litem and is a certified family law mediator.
Maureen A. Mitchel Law Offices represents clients in Cook County, including the suburban districts, Lake County and the collar counties.
