  Jan 2008 - Present - Greater Chicago Area

  Combining more than 40 years experience in family law at some of the largest firms in Illinois, Katz & Stefani serves high-profile and high-net-worth individuals in premarital and divorce matters. Our lawyers are experienced in navigating the complicated waters of interstate and international custody disputes, implicating the laws of multiple jurisdictions, the Hague Convention and the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Enforcement Act. Sensitive to issues of parental alienation, the firm works with mental health professionals to identify and address the issue as soon as possible. I write a regular column on family law for Chicago Lawyer. I have also lectured extensively on such topics as novel discovery techniques, the role of accountants as expert witnesses, business valuations, grandparent visitation rights, and the Illinois Supreme Court Rules for proper disclosure of witnesses. I have also taught classes at Loyola Law School and IIT Kent Law School.
