Chicago’s Top Guardian Ad Litem – Child Representative

A champion for children in crisis devoted to serving children as their court-appointed representative and guardian ad litem.

Oftentimes in a contested child custody, visitation or allocation of parenting time dispute, the court may appoint an attorney to serve as guardian ad litem (GAL) or child representative to act as the “voice” of the child to ensure that the child’s interests are represented and considered when decisions are being made that affect the child.

The opinions and recommendations of the GAL can be very persuasive to the court and can substantially affect a case to obtain custody or modify an existing parenting time order.
