A bit more about Michael Graven, JD, CPA: Divorce is a complex and emotional process that can be overwhelming for those going through it. As a highly rated Divorce Law attorney with more than 30 years of experience, I work closely with my clients throughout the Chicagoland area to ensure that they are actively informed of every step in the process. Finding the solution that best serves the interests of my clients’ families is my number one priority. I represent people in all aspects of family law. My clients come to me with problems concerning the allocation of parental responsibilities (child custody), child support, property division, business valuation, finding hidden assets and income, paternity, domestic violence, adoption, and grandparents’ rights. Drawing upon my previous work experience as a Certified Public Account and tax attorney, I negotiate, and if required litigate, financial issues in matrimonial cases. I also handle prenuptial agreements for those planning to marry and postnuptial agreements for individuals who have already taken the big step. See the Practice Areas section for more details. Most divorce cases reach a conclusion through negotiation, and I have extensive experience reaching my clients’ goals without going through a long and costly court battle. In addition to negotiated settlements, I resolve through alternative dispute processes such as Collaborative Law and mediation in order to settle cases between disagreeing spouses. Some cases result in litigation, and I have extensive experience fighting for my clients in court. My goal is to help my clients make smart, clear-headed decisions. I approach every case with an open mind and take care to listen to my clients so that I can best meet their individual needs. My clients use words like “trustworthy,” “calm” and “empathetic” to describe me. I come from a family of lawyers. My father was also a divorce attorney, and I have been connected with the profession for decades. I am proud of my reputation as a tireless advocate for my clients. I am a Fellow in the prestigious American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, which is a select national group of attorneys acknowledged as prominent family law practitioners.
