James Teich
PARTNER
Mr. Teich is a founding member of the Women’s Divorce & Family Law Group and a managing partner. Mr. Teich is a skilled and dedicated attorney who has extensive experience representing both men and women in family law cases in Illinois. He vehemently works to protect his client’s rights in family law disputes. Mr. Teich’s interest in women’s rights dates as far back as law school, where, as a member of Law Review, he wrote an article concerning the issues of Battered Women’s Syndrome. Mr. Teich became acutely aware of the lack of protection afforded women in family law cases when he began assisting female family members and friends in their cases. These experiences, in part, fueled his desire to join a group focused on protecting and advancing the rights of women and mothers.
EXPERIENCE

Mr. Teich has vast knowledge and experience with respect to litigating divorce cases and post-decree cases (such as child support, custody, visitation, educational expenses, maintenance (formerly known as alimony), etc.), and will fiercely advocate on a client’s behalf. At the same time, he is known for being a caring and even-handed attorney who puts the needs of his clients and their children first. Mr. Teich also has extensive experience in handling cases involving people who have mental health issues, including, but not limited to, depression, bipolar disorder, and other personality disorders. Mr. Teich also works in the areas of adoption and the guardianship of minors.
Mr. Teich has been mentored by prominent women in the legal profession, including the Honorable Ann C. Williams of the Seventh Circuit United States Court of Appeals. He is also a member of the E-Women Network.
Mr. Teich has made multiple television appearances and appeared in periodicals (such as the Chicago Tribune) and online articles in connection with his divorce and custody cases. He is a co-author of the book Strategies For Family Law In Illinois. Additionally, he often speaks at conferences on family law issues.
EDUCATION
graduated with honors & awards
Mr. Teich graduated with honors from Emory University in 1993 and graduated from Chicago-Kent College of Law with honors in 2000.
