Q&A
At Cooper Trachtenberg Law Group we are sensitive to the many issues a couple faces when pursuing a divorce or other marital dissolution action. We know these moments can be very hard on the spouses and the family and we are incredibly sensitive to this. It is our mission to treat our clients as we would care for and treat our own family and friends.
Professionally, we are trained mediators and have earned professional certifications in collaborative divorce law. These two approaches to divorce can offer many benefits to couples and should be considered in addition to traditional litigated approaches. We maintain active memberships with many professional associations including Collaborative Divorce Illinois, The Lake County Bar Association, The DuPage Bar Association, and other important organizations.
We invite you to contact us and schedule a time for a consultation.
