I want to sincerely thank our Guardian ad Litem for taking the time to get to know my family and me especially my youngest. Your patience, understanding, and dedication have meant so much during this process. We truly appreciate everything you’ve done, and we’re grateful for your support. We look forward to seeing you again next month.

Please enjoy your Independence Day! We’ll be in the Hoffman Estates parade this year passing out Tootsie Rolls! It’s been a while since we’ve been in a 4th of July parade, and we’re really excited. Feel free to join us or check out my Facebook page for photos. Thanks again for everything!

Annette is a master of her craft! She's not "frilly", let's you know what you need to know quickly and succinctly, VERY reasonable rates for the EXCELLENT quality of work. I won my appeal as a result of her diligence and precise, on-point research, responses and written communications required for our appellate brief. It was even published! She took care of everything that needed to be taken care of during this stressful process without bogging me down with details that would only upset me more. JOB MORE THAN WELL DONE! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!

As my attorney Annette Fernholz has been in my corner for almost 15 years, from the time of my divorce, through child support negotiations, and even now that my daughter is in college. She is effective (we won every motion), efficient (turns things around quickly and doesn’t consume my time unnecessarily) and has always managed my expectations in an honest and realistic manner – something I have highly valued given the emotions of family law. She has kept me focused, encouraged me to pursue my best interests when appropriate and leveled with me the times I needed to let go. I have recommended her to many others, all of whom are grateful that I did.
