Divorce can be legally complex, emotionally charged, and financially demanding for many individuals. A prolonged courtroom dispute can only add to the stress that comes with the legal process of ending a marriage. The Law Offices of Barry Footlick, LLC., is whole-heartedly committed to providing the effective legal advocacy that is expected and needed by separating couples.

I understand the stress you are under and will make it my job to minimize this burden through my representation. I will not only serve as a powerful advocate in court, but proactively inform you of all the important events in your case, giving you additional peace of mind. I realize this is a very personal and emotional process, and I will be there every step of the way to ensure the best results for you.

Child custody is one of the most important issues in your divorce. Illinois Courts decide many of these cases with the best interests of the children in mind. The cooperation of both parents is encouraged, but not always required and doesn’t mean joint custody. A judge considers many factors including:

• Criminal and psychological history of both parents
• The child’s wishes, if they are mature enough to have a say
• The overall stability of the home
• If parents are seeking to remarry or live with a new partner

Whether it is a divorce, or if your situation has changes and the custody agreement needs to be modified, I can help. I am dedicated to providing my clients real solutions for complex and emotional issues, allowing them to focus on what is most important.

We can help you complete a smooth transaction.

If you owe taxes to the IRS or the State, you need to deal with the issue. Avoiding it will only make it worse. They are only interested in collecting your money and will use numerous aggressive methods to do so including wage garnishment and bank levies.

Owing back taxes can certainly seem like a problem with no solution. If you want to save yourself and/or your business from IRS and State penalties, interest and possible criminal actions, you need to hire an expert in tax representation. I have the legal expertise and experience to devise a specific plan of action for you and follow it through implementation.

It is important to ensure the future of your family is secure. Providing financial security for your family following your death is one of the most crucial steps you can take, no matter your age.  Creating a will that specifies your beneficiaries and guardians of your minor children is a key aspect of estate planning. Trusts allow property to be distributed directly to your beneficiaries following your death without being subject to probate while Living Trusts provides for yourself near the end of life while specifying what will happen in case of mental or physical incapacitation, as well as how your estate will be handled upon death.

Whatever your needs, I offer clients unique solutions to make sure every detail of their estate is accounted for. I work closely with my clients to decide on the proper course of action regarding your assets regardless of the size of your estate. I have years of experience in helping clients ensure their and their families financial security both before and after death.
