ADOPTION

Simple Uncontested Related Adoption of One Child - $2,500 Including All Court Filing Fees, Guardian ad Litem's Fee, Service of Process by Sheriff & Publication Fee

All attorney's fees include complete legal representation in court.  Documents are prepared relating specifically to your case, an attorney explains the documents to you before you sign them and an attorney is with you in court.  You are not alone - your attorney is with you every step of the way.  Let my 30 years of experience work for you!

CALL ME FOR A FREE TELEPHONE CONFERENCE AT (630) 415-8705 FOR A FREE INITIAL CONSULTATION TO  DISCUSS WHAT SERVICES CAN BE PROVIDED AND THE FEE FOR SAID LEGAL SERVICES.  WHEN YOU CALL MY OFFICE YOU TALK TO ME (NOT A PARALEGAL OR SOMEONE JUST OUT OF LAW SCHOOL) AND WHEN YOU GO TO COURT I AM THERE WITH YOU - NOT ANOTHER ATTORNEY (POSSIBLY SOMEONE JUST OUT OF LAW SCHOOL WITH LITTLE OR NO EXPERIENCE). 

----------------------------

My retainer fee for a simple uncontested related adoption is $2,500 for one child.  This fee includes all court filing fees Guardian ad Litem's fee, service of process by sheriff, publication fee and fee for a new Illinois birth certificate but does not cover other costs, eg - fingerprints, etc.  This is the total fee as long as it is agreed to and uncontested.  There are no hidden charges.  Let me help you get your life together and have the family you really want.

Usually the client or clients have to appear in court only once with their attorney and the child or children sought to be adopted.  The attorney will then make an additional appearance or appearances on behalf of the client / clients. 

Hire an experienced attorney and get it done right the first time and make sure that your rights are protected.  Depending on the case and the pleadings involved, an experienced attorney may be able to complete the work twice or three times faster saving the client time and money.

I charge a very fair and reasonable fee for the work that is performed.   This law firm takes pride in our work and has the experience to know what should be done and what should not be done.  Legal services performed may affect your life for many years to come and it is very important that you obtain the services of a qualified attorney with experience.   My legal fees are very competitive.
