Need personal recommendations for a divorce lawyer in the western Chicago suburbs (Aurora area).

Need personal recommendations for a divorce lawyer in the western Chicago suburbs (Aurora area). Would be good if the lawyer had experience with protecting the welfare of a special-needs child. (Posting for a family member.)

Haven't tried them personally and it's not Aurora but I was considering: http://www.divorcedifferences.com/

Not sure about the special needs child but the website information looked impressive. Most lawyers give a free consultation.

Good luck.

My brother endured a divorce and it was in Aurora. From what I remember, his lawyer was excellent. I'll email him and get back to you.

Sister in Law is very happy with her attorney. I asked her for his info:
Don Simantz at Alschuler, Simantz, and Hem LLC.
1961 W Downer Place, Aurora, IL 60506-4384
630-892-7021
Don't know his experience with special needs children, though.

Good luck!

Thanks, sarajane. I'll pass that along. It might be particularly useful that Don Simantz also practices real estate law (from their web site).
