I’m incredibly grateful for the excellent work done by Attorney Stephanie Powers and Megan, who represented me clearly, concisely, and efficiently throughout this very difficult process. Their bilingual team demonstrated a level of professionalism and dedication that exceeded my expectations. From the start, my lawyer, Stephanie Powers, made me feel heard and understood, clearly explaining each step of the process in Spanish. Being an immigrant and not understanding how the legal system works here was scary, but Ms. Powers’ confidence, expertise, and well-established network within the legal system quickly put my uncertainty to rest. Having a team of professionals like Women’s Divorce & Family Law Group by Haid and Teich LLP was definitely a great decision. I’m very pleased with the results; I highly recommend them 100%.

Although I never stepped foot into their office, my experience with the Women’s Divorce and Family Law Group in Chicago was nothing short of exceptional. Every communication—whether by email or phone—was handled with professionalism, clarity, and care.

From the first consultation, I knew I was in good hands. The team took the time to understand my situation and made sure I never felt like “just another case.” Even across phone lines and inboxes, their compassion came through loud and clear.

They were thorough, responsive, and consistently one step ahead. I appreciated how they broke down complex legal matters into plain English and helped me make confident, informed decisions—without ever overwhelming me.

What impressed me most was how empowered I felt throughout the entire process. They advocated for my best interests with both strength and sensitivity, striking that rare and powerful balance that makes all the difference in emotionally charged situations.

If you’re facing a divorce or family law issue and want a team that’s not only incredibly knowledgeable but also truly understands the unique challenges women face, Women’s Divorce and Family Law Group is an excellent choice—no office visit required.

I can’t say enough good things about my experience with Stephanie Powers, Josh Haid, and the team at Women’s Divorce & Family Law Group.

Working with Stephanie was truly a blessing during one of the most emotionally and mentally exhausting chapters of my life. Navigating custody and support matters is never easy, but Stephanie made me feel grounded, protected, and genuinely cared for from the very beginning.

She brought clarity to a situation that felt overwhelming and advocated for my case with strength and compassion. Her calm and steady presence kept me anchored, even when things felt tense or uncertain. She is incredibly knowledgeable and strategic. I did a lot of research on who to choose for representation and I genuinely feel she was the best choice I could have made for handling such a sensitive matter, she truly delivered the best outcome.

It’s rare to find someone who blends legal expertise with emotional intelligence, but Stephanie did just that. I’m incredibly grateful to her and the entire team at Women’s Divorce & Family Law Group for walking with me through this process with grace, integrity, and care. Highly recommend!

Kaitlyn C.

Going into this process across the country was scary, and my first attorney failed me, which is how I found this law firm. MIKAYLA AND MORGAN ARE AMAZING!! I can not thank them enough for effortlessly defending me and parenting rights. They have truly brought peace and unification back to my family. If you feel at a loss or don’t know where to start when it comes to custody agreements and divorce I strongly recommend this duo! If you both don’t know yet. I am so completely grateful to you both and what you have done for my family! If I could give 10 stars I would!

Arden F.

I’m very happy I chose them to help me with my divorce and highly recommend them.

Emilee F.

I worked with Mikayla Stoveland and she was wonderful to work with. She was thorough, kind and helped with many frustrating situations in my case. I always felt she had my back and best interest in mind. 10/10 would recommend!

Bridget C.

I highly recommend Women’s Divorce and Family Law. I worked with Stephanie Powers and James Teich. They were both excellent. They listened to what was most important to me and made sure that my son was the number one priority during a difficult divorce.

Jamille S.

It was a pleasure working with them. I needed a professional to help with my pre-nuptial, and since the first call, they helped me find the best lawyer, Mr. James, to orient me and help me.

N. F.

Overall, Women’s Divorce & Family Law Group by Haid & Teich delivered. The lawyers and the administration cared and represented well. They were open, honest, clear and concise in their reporting and in answering questions on email and on the phone.

Sincerely, I appreciate the time/communication effectiveness and efficiency from the primary lawyer and the flexibility from the administration of the billing. I highly recommend this group to anyone needing a divorce lawyer.

Ariel H.

I went through a difficult divorce and also needed to get an order of protection. I was taken care of by partner Jaime and associate Kelly. They were both awesome! Communication was excellent. They were responsive to all of my concerns, clearly outlined how the process would go, and were very knowledgeable. They were easy to talk to and lessen the anxiety towards the whole process.

Griselda H.

For Stephani Powers
I just want to express my most sincere gratitude for the support you always showed me, the road was not easy, however you never gave up or gave up on helping me. I feel very lucky to have found you. Thanks for everything. Thank you for always being so professional and attentive to my needs, helping me understand that sometimes losing is winning and looking out for my son’s best interest.

Jonathan G.

Stephanie Powers helped me out with my divorce case and she Is a phenomenal lawyer! As we all know going through a divorce is one of the hardest things you can go through in life, the last thing you want is to get a lawyer who is not going to help you throughout the process and give you another headache. Stephanie guided me step by step, had all the answers to my questions and would always update me on everything. Emailing her for general questions was another thing I was so amazed by, she would email me back that same day even if it was after hours which is something I was not expecting. Im just super thankful for her and the law firm, if you read this thank you so much Stephanie you took off a load of my back.

Shannon K.

I give my full 5 star recommendation of Women’s Divorce and Family Law Group. I can’t say enough about this hardworking team of true professionals, that are also real people that care. Trusting Kelly Ehrenreich and Women’s Divorce and Family Law Group was the best decision I could have made in the most turbulent time of my life, with my most precious blessing, my daughter, through a vicious custody battle. When I began working with Kelly the opposing party had an order of protection on me and I was only allowed one hour closely monitored visits with my 5 year old daughter and I had no phone communication with her. Less than a year later I now have my daughter back in my care and I am a full time mother once more. Kelly saw me through an emotional roller-coaster with her expertise, level head, and sense of humor. Kelly has an extensive background working with domestic violence survivors and skillfully maneuvered around the tactics of the other side, allowing me to overcome every obstacle I faced. She believed in me and made sure I knew she saw my sincere effort, hard work, and capability. I never doubted that I had her full support while my name was dragged through the mud by the opposing side. Kelly made my case her priority and showed up to every court appearance fully aware of everything that was going on. She welcomed my endless emails and bent over backwards, even working on an Emergency Motion on my behalf late night during her weekend to make sure my daughter was safe with mom. Hire Women’s Family Divorce and Family law you will not regret it! And give Kelly a raise, she deserves it! If you listen and do the work on your part you will get the best results for your family with this counsel on your side. I am eternally grateful.

Trevor D.

Their team will make you feel heard and protected, turning a daunting process into a manageable journey. Every interaction is filled with empathy and expertise, making a tough time a little easier. You couldn’t have asked for better guidance and support. Highly recommend for anyone facing family law issues.

Carlos S.

I was worried we would lose everything but Stephanie Powers got us sorted out after just a few of meetings. I wish that we didn’t have to reach out to a lawyers to figure out our issues. But Stephanie made us feel a lot better while she worked and provided great advice. I would definitely hire her again and absolutely refer her to any friends of family who are in need of legal advice. She will get the job done!

Alexandra P.

I know Stephanie Powers professionally and recommend her for all family law needs. She is hardworking, and compassionate. Stephanie has expertise in various areas of family law including divorce, child custody, child support, and domestic violence. She will be dedicated to advocating for your rights and best interests.

Kelsey G.

Stephanie Powers is a strong advocate for women. I have known her professionally for years and can always rely on her.

Kathy H.

Calling this law group will put you at ease right away! The staff listens carefully, and with compassion, to the details of your situation. They are knowledgeable, practical, and committed to serving their clients.

Kristin M.

Cannot recommend this group enough. From my initial call with Jamie to the email from Mikayla letting me know I was officially divorced, the process was seamless. Their responses were timely, their rates were fair and I was completely done in less than 3 months (with kids!). Cannot say enough good things! Thank you Jamie and Mikayla!

Allison R.

I will be recommending Cori to several of my friends and family for any of their future needs. She is very professional and very compassionate to all of her clients. Cori’s attention to detail and her approachability during conversations was very comforting to me. She was efficient and thorough and I appreciated her help with all of my questions!

Brett M.

Cori and the entire firm were so great to work with! I trusted them fully and am so glad I did. They all went above and beyond, I would recommend Cori to anyone with legal troubles. Divorce is hard but they make it easier!

Cipriano A.

I recently had the pleasure of interacting with the support staff at Women’s Divorce and Family Law Group, and I must say, they truly exceeded my expectations in every way possible. They are very professional, pay attention to detail, and are extremely approachable. I would absolutely recommend this firm to my friends and family.

Caitlyn F.

Within a year of being at the firm, Cori always put her clients first. She’s extremely dedicated to helping her clients with their every need. She’s consistent, reliable, and just the person you want as your voice of reason during a difficult time. I cannot recommend her or this firm enough!

Brianna D.

I couldn’t have had a better experience working with Cori! She made a scary and difficult situation so much easier. I always felt like I was her first priority. I could not have asked for a better lawyer and firm to work with! Thank you, Cori!

Michael W.

WDFL was a responsive, professional, and thorough practice in addressing my post-decree concerns. I worked with three attorneys over three years, who were supervised by the same named partner, and all of them were attentive, smart, empathic, and communicative. My needing them was in response to the respondent and the lengthy processes involved. WDFL was able to advise me on the nuances of the legal process, something I always needed during unexpected and, to me, unnecessary protracted matters. They helped me succeed, parent, and stay clear. My first two lawyers (Ebony and Vanessa) left the firm at times when their work was complete but when “my work” kept going. I worked with Mikayla toward the last phase of my three years. She, like her colleagues, was a gift to me in a series of processes that I found unfortunate. I don’t write reviews but I’m writing this one.

Holly K.

I highly recommend Mikayla Stoveland from Women’s Divorce and Family Law Group. She is hard working and dedicated to helping her clients. She takes the time to listen to her clients and answer questions with compassion and understanding.

Alyssa M.

Vanessa Williams is a phenomenal lawyer. She has been so patient and helpful through my whole divorce process. Any time I need to reach her she has made herself available. She has brought her “A” game to court 100% of the time. She is always prepared and has amazing knowledge of the law. This has been the hardest thing I have ever had to go through. Vanessa has not only been there every step of the way for my endless amount of questions and emails; she has made me feel that she truly cares about my children and myself. I am so grateful to her for helping me through this process.

Shane H.

Alexa is a dedicated advocate for her clients. She is extremely personable and makes sure her clients feel heard and understood.

Kayla W.

Alexa ensures that her clients feel heard and understood. She is very personable and always makes sure her clients feel comfortable.

Becca T.

After knowing Alexa Valenzisi for a number of year, I can confidently say that she is kind, compassionate, and a great advocate for all of her clients!

Ace

If you are looking for a family law attorney, you cannot go wrong with Mikayla Stoveland! She is a strong advocate and is always looking out for the best interest of her clients. I highly recommend her for anyone going through a divorce.

Abby H.

I’ve been meaning to write this review as I hope it helps others when trying to decide which lawyers to hire. I went to many consultations before finding Jamie Teich. I needed to be 100% sure when choosing since this was a child custody case and I was trusting them with my everything. It was after that first meeting I knew I needed to retain this group. Since that day I have forever been grateful for Jamie and Sarah Vali who have taken on my case. We have been with them for 4+ years and my family wouldn’t be where we are without them. Their guidance and knowledge throughout this whole process has far exceeded our expectations. Sarah’s patience, understanding, commitment, attention to detail and communication makes her a stand out associate and one that I always want standing along side myself and my family. She and Jamie truly want what is best for you and your family and treat you as their own. They are realistic with their guidance, provide you options, and you always feel heard. I know my case will be ongoing due to its unique situation but we would not be able to do it without them. I wholeheartedly recommend this team and hope you consider when needed.

Cody L.

It’s so useful to have such great people to help you when you’re going through a difficult/tricky situation. From the paralegals on up… fantastic organization. Cannot recommend divorce, but can recommend this firm.

Leslie S.

Mikayla Stoveland is a very professional and dedicated lawyer with the compassion needed to make one feel at ease with what they are going through.

Megan Y.

I have known Sarah R for years and she’s a wonderful attorney. She truly cares for her clients and goes above and beyond to advocate for them. I would highly recommend Sarah R!

Sherman Y.

Sarah was wonderful to work with. She is caring and honest and will go the extra mile for you as her client. I have known Sarah for years now and she’s an amazing attorney. Highly recommend!

Kevin D.

The people at Women’s Divorce & Family Law Group are reliable, communicative, and very empathetic. I cannot recommend them highly enough for anyone attempting to navigate a messy divorce. In a troubling time, they proved a stable anchor point.

Margaret L.

Jamie and Sarah were so helpful with everything I needed to know and do to make this as painless as possible. 2 Thumbs up!

Sarah is a wonderful attorney and I would recommend her to anyone needing a family law attorney. As a mother, she really understands the difficulty around parenting issues.

Noreen A.

I feel that the support staff at Women’s Divorce and Family Law Group was very professional and displayed exceptional interpersonal skills. Their friendly demeanor and approachable nature made it easy for me to communicate my concerns and preferences.

Nadia K.

I’ve recommended this Firm to so many of my friends and will continue to do so. Sarah is a strong advocate and a compassionate person. She is a great attorney and highly suggest her for those in need of legal representation for family matters.

Jessica O.

I called in for the free consultation, I was lucky enough to speak with Marie. She not only answered my questions about how lawyer pricing works but she made me feel really listened to and was incredibly sweet. I was in a bad a scary place and she helped me feel a bit better on my path forward. Thank you Marie!

Kait H.

Talking with Marie felt like a warm hug and a nice cup of Chaga. She made a difficult situation easy and not so daunting. Will call her for all my divorces. Strongly recommend.

Rebecca S.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Dimitra on several matters over the past 6 years. Dimitra’s proficiency in family law, combined with her dedication to her clients and achieving favorable outcomes, distinguishes her within our professional community. I recommend Dimitra and her firm to anyone seeking skilled and compassionate legal representation.

Mary L.

I know Stephanie Powers professionally and she is an outstanding lawyer. She is very compassionate and empathetic towards her clients, meanwhile an incredibly hard working advocate on their behalf. I highly recommend her for any family law needs.

Jenn H.

Morgan and Alexa provided excellent representation with my restraining order case. It was a huge relief to have these outstanding professionals representing and advising me during a very stressful situation. I would recommend them to anyone seeking an order of protection.

Loukas K.

Dimitra Katsis is an exceptional lawyer. She always takes the time to explain matters to the clients so that the clients understand each step of the legal process. She works hard and is dedicated to advocating for her clients. She is well deserving of the Super Lawyers Rising Star designation.

Thomas M.

Mikayla Stoveland is one of the most empathetic and capable divorce attorneys I’ve encountered. Her ability to connect with her clients and advocate for their needs is key. When you’re going through a divorce, having a compassionate attorney who can fight for you in the courtroom is a must!

Leann H.

Mikayla Stoveland is an outstanding family law attorney who cares about her clients. She is incredibly hard working and advocates for her clients. I highly recommend her for any family law needs!

Adam A.

I have known Alexa for many years, and she is empathetic and constantly looking out for her client’s best interest. I highly recommend her to anyone who had any family law questions or concerns.

Sarah T.

I worked with Attorney Dimitra Katsis at this practice. I found her helpful, responsive, and well-prepared for court appearances. She also cared about the well-being of my children and was keen to explain the implications of decisions that were being made regarding my kids in the process. I recommend working with Dimitra if you are in the process of a divorce.

Thank heaven for Ms Stoveland. This was the worst time of my life and Ms Stoveland helped me through it all. She is so dedicated to helping all women from all walks of life. She was kind yet professional, knew exactly what I needed and let me know I was not alone

Hannah V.

I know Stephanie Powers professionally and she is an outstanding lawyer and incredibly hard working. Her dedication to her practice and clients is commendable. I highly recommend her for any family law needs.

Sam W.

Marie has a very calming voice and listens well. Not just some intake and collection of my information, but actually reaching out and getting a perception of my background and me. I appreciate the caring attitude she provides.

Charlotte L.

I have referred at least two friends to WDFLG when they felt that there were sharks everywhere they looked. They both wanted easy, no fault divorces with minimal fuss and they both got it. You can really trust this group to do what they say they are going to do.

Farihah S.

Stephanie powers is a dedicated, intelligent, diligent, logical, reasonable, and compassionate attorney. She has perfected her expertise on trial technique and it shows in the courtroom. Stephanie will fight for you: she knows how to think on her feet, makes effective and penetrating arguments, and snipes opposing counsel’s arguments on the spot. I highly recommend this attorney and have known her professionally for years.

Kristen W.

I was so stressed I could barely breathe before calling. Marie helped me breathe and helped me relax enough to formulate thoughts. Her endless compassion and patience made me feel ok when everything was crashing down. I felt really lost before Marie helped me come up with a plan and helped me organize my plan for consultation. I really can’t thank you enough kind lady. Seriously the best call experience of my life when I was such a total mess.

Patrick H.

I’d recommend them to anyone needing family law legal representation! The staff was beyond professional and I really appreciated how fast and responsive they were throughout the process.

Jessica O.

I called in for the free consultation, I was lucky enough to speak with Marie. She not only answered my questions about how lawyer pricing works but she made me feel really listened to and was incredibly sweet. I was in a bad a scary place and she helped me feel a bit better on my path forward. Thank you Marie!

Kait H.

Talking with Marie felt like a warm hug and a nice cup of Chaga. She made a difficult situation easy and not so daunting. Will call her for all my divorces. Strongly recommend.

Agnes M.

This is a late post but I’ve had nothing but a great and positive experience working with Cori and the Women’s firm. Cori went above and beyond dealing with my case where my ex retired at 50 ( no health problems) and took me to court to stop my child support for my children ( because he couldn’t afford it with his pension). Needless to say, Cori fought for my and my children’s rights and pointed out facts as well as his hidden secondary employment to the opposing attorney. I definitely recommend this firm, they are honest and hard working. They will work for you and seek out any in discrepancies presented their way. I am very much thankful for Cori, her kindness and knowledge. And of course as lawyers they’re not cheap but Cori worked with me on every aspect and detail of my case.

Lisa O.

When I made a request for information from WDFLG at the beginning of this journey, I didn’t know I was embarking on a 2+ year fight for my future, but Partner Josh Haid (and later Associate Stephanie Powers) immediately eased my fears. Josh was both honest and realistic about what I might encounter after my long marriage to a pensioned city employee, yet confident that I’d ultimately get a fair and equitable settlement. Stephanie soon took over the day to day details of my divorce and together they handled a very unprofessional opposing attorney with the utmost grace. Although we nearly had to go to a trial due to a lack of cooperation from the other side, ultimately we settled and I was awarded what I had fairly requested. Though my divorce took longer than I expected, Stephanie and Josh worked to ensure my compensation for the other side’s delays, and I always received prompt, honest, realistic and compassionate responses to my questions and concerns. I’m finally happily divorced and consider both of these amazing professionals true allies, and now, friends. I absolutely recommend them and their kind, professional staff to anyone who needs representation in a family law matter.

Tim R.

Stephanie Powers is truly beyond helpful! Her attention to detail is second to none, and she truly cares and is invested in her clients!

Kristina J.

I worked with Stephanie Powers and Jamie Teich for my divorce settlement and custody agreement and they were exceptional from beginning to end. I had no idea what I was doing but they were always readily available for any questions I had from the initial consultation to the final proceedings. Although it was an amicable divorce, they really helped ease the transition and provided us with guidelines for how to move forward, in addition to completing everything promptly (the entire process took about 6 months from initial consultation to final proceedings). They went above and beyond to ensure the best-case scenario for each of us, including my daughter, to start a new, fresh life. Stephanie was so well-prepared leading up to and during the court appearance that I really didn’t feel like I needed to do much, which was a much-welcome stress relief to an already heavy load of being a full-time working, single, new mother. She put me at ease and took care of everything, even beyond the final proceedings. I’ll forever be grateful to them for their support during that time. Divorce, especially with children, is difficult no matter how well the parents get along, but having attorneys like Stephanie and Jamie made the entire experience so much more calming and reassuring. I have zero regrets about my decision to choose them to represent me.

Perla U.

They helped me a lot in my case. They resolved my case in my favor. I am very grateful to them!!

Lola L.

A few years ago I was going through a horrible custody battle that lasted a few years. I went through lawyer after lawyer. Finally one night I found this law firm on google. When I called a very kind gentleman answered and listened to me cry about how horrible my situation was. He was probably the only lawyer that ever really listened to me and displayed such grand empathy. It was Mr. Teich himself. He told me how much the retainer was and of course I didn’t have enough money saved, but 6 months later I did and when I called back Mr. Teich remembered me. He and his associates graciously ended my courthouse nightmares. Years later I am still so thankful for all of their help. Definitely highly recommend these lawyers!

A. C.

My initial consultation was with Josh. At the time we spoke I was eight months into a custody case, and I nearly gave up. I don’t think the conversation was very long, but I remember him being direct, assertive and encouraging. I ended up working primarily with Sarah, but I knew Josh was also involved throughout the case. Frankly I couldn’t be happier to have picked this firm. Sarah was very understanding and sincere. She basically took that added weight off my shoulders. I felt confident that I had a strong team of lawyers. I am able to keep sole custody of my son. Words can’t explain my gratitude for the work they did.

Endia M.

Excellent!!… Dimitra and Josh are the dream team. Dimitra is fierce, intelligent, compassionate and an excellent communicator; she fights on your behalf during one of the toughest times of your life so that you can focus on caring for your child. Josh is caring and very personable; his calm demeanor and excellent sense of humor helps to put you at ease. You can tell Josh is highly experienced as his knowledge of the law comes across as second nature. They are both straight shooters and will tell you what is realistic as well as reasonable. They do not waste your time or your money and are very transparent about how much time and money will be spent depending on what you are wanting. I couldn’t have asked for a better duo. I am so thankful for them both.

Marie H.

Dimitria,shay, and josh all helped me in a really big battle if I didn’t have them as a big support team I wouldn’t have one they understood what I was saying and handled my case to a better healthier lifestyle for both parties

Sitoria T.

I spoke with Josh Haid for a quick consultation and he was beyond amazing. He was honest, genuine, and displayed a lot of integrity which I appreciate. He wasn’t focused on the money and simply retaining me as a client. He showed care for me and my situation and gave me wonderful advice and still offered to help me along the way. Thank you!

Valerie L.

Stephanie was so helpful, professional, and kind. She made a very difficult experience easier than I ever could have imagined. Yet another choice which I do not regret making.

Sitoria T.

I spoke with Joseph Hayden for a quick consultation and he was beyond amazing. He was honest, genuine, and displayed a lot of integrity which I appreciate. He wasn’t focused on the money and simply retaining me as a client. He showed care for me and my situation and gave me wonderful advice and still offered to help me along the way. Thank you!!

Stella O.

Jamie was great! He answered all my questions and stayed on top of changes and even contacted my husband’s counsel to move the case forward when taking too long.

Ali L.

I’ve spoken with a few family law practices before moving forward with Women’s Divorce & Family Law Group. My attorney was Sarah Vali and she was extremely knowledgeable and reassuring about the process of divorce. She walked me through each step and answered my questions thoroughly. From custody, to asset division and made the daunting process of divorce bearable.

You should definitely give them a call if you are in the process of looking for a family law practice.

Amy A.

Morgan was awesome during this stressful time. She was caring and kind, incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. I am fortunate that she was able to help me every step of the way. I have no idea what to expect and appreciate the support she gave me.

Shaena F.

James Teich is an incredible attorney, empathetic, smart, strategic and knows how to look out for his client’s best interests. If you want an advocate to represent you in court at what could be a challenging time, he and this firm are the way to go. Highly recommend.

Diana S.

I have been working with this firm, specifically Morgan Gay, over the last few years. Anyone going through a contentious divorce knows the many moments where you feel you have lost your mind. I found Morgan to be a very empathetic, decent human being, disguised as an attorney. In other words, yes she knows the law, understands the court system, and knows how to manage a case with a deadbeat opposing counsel; however her calm and professional demeanor are what saved me from going off the proverbial cliff. Whether a short amicable proceeding, or a long dragged, pull your hair out divorce, I would recommend Morgan in a heart beat.

Anthony G.

The people who work here really care about you and your situation. They genuinely take pride in what they do and are very caring. I feel comfortable contacting them with any concerns that arise and I know that they have my best interests in mind.

Kay T.

I came across this firm after dealing with an unprofessional and rude Attorney that did nothing for my case. I worked with Morgan Gay whose professionalism and kindness eased my stress during a difficult time. She was thorough and quickly responded to emails and calls. If I had to work with an attorney in the future I would definitely reach out to Morgan.

Aleksandra P.

I can’t say enough about the professionalism and extensive knowledge Josh Haid and his colleagues possess! I was young and scared when I decided to file for divorce. I didn’t know who to trust, but Mr. Haid’s true caring nature and kindness made the process of divorce smoother than I could ever have imagined. I highly recommend him and his services!

Wendy S.

The lawyers at Women’s Divorce & Family Law Group are professional, responsive and fight for their clients. As an attorney practicing in a different field, I am often asked for recommendations from friends, family and professional contacts, and I always recommend this practice without any reservation. I know anyone I recommend them to will be taken care of professionally and with empathy

Perla D.

James Teich went above and beyond. I never had to reach out, as his office always kept me in the loop regarding my case. When it finally came down to the end and the other party wanted another extension James put me first. He spoke up and we were able to proceed. The outcome was in my favor. If I hadn’t reached out to Women’s Divorce & Family Law I’m not sure what would’ve happened. I’m grateful for everything they did.

Denise L.

I can’t say enough good things about Joshua Haid and his team.  They will do everything in their power to get you the best possible outcome for your divorce settlement and custody of your children.  They fight extremely hard for woman’s rights.  I shopped around, their fees are lower than other divorce attorneys.  At a time when you need support the most, they will guide you through the legal challenges so that you can be on top of the game financially when you start your new life! Feels good to know you got everything you deserved when it’s all done.

Teresa L.

Jamie Teich and Sarah Vali are a true credit to their profession. I could not have asked for a better team to handle my maintenance review. I only wish I knew about them when I was going through my divorce. Their professionalism, care and compassion was a welcome comfort during a truly difficult time. This is a firm that listens to their clients, addresses their concerns and truly fights for their clients. They treat their clients like people, not cases. I highly recommend them.

Lori L.

My attorney, Joshua Haid, was the most professional Attorney I have ever hired. I have used two other Lawyers one for my divorce who was completely incompetent. The second was for appealing my divorce through the appellate court which I lost. Then I hired Josh and got exactly what I wanted in ONE court date trial. I would defiantly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a divorce lawyer.

April W.

I never realized just how scary a divorce can be; particularly, for someone who has been married for 21 years. I never saw or wanted this to be in my reality; however, my attorney, Kat Delgado, helped me cross a very difficult bridge. I definitely still don’t think that divorce is something to be celebrated; yet, I’m thankful for Kat. I’m thankful for her diligence, her calm, her listening ear, her knowledge, and her expertise. Most importantly, she knows her stuff! She’s like a quiet storm. She’s soft and sweet but don’t get it twisted, she’s a thunderstorm too, if that’s what you need. Thanks Kat, I appreciate you!

Erica S.

I was represented by Sarah Vali and have nothing but positive things to say about her. She is thoughtful, considerate, organized, and responded to phone and email messages in a timely and reasonable manner. Sarah is professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend her and should any circumstances arise in the future for which I am in need of legal representation, I will certainly choose Ms Vali and the Women’s Divorce & Family Law Group.

Danny H.

Dimitra and Josh were are large part of keeping me going during the year long process that we faced. I truly appreciate all of the work and effort that they put in for us and could never thank them enough.

Emily L.

My divorce case was very challenging but I received great representation from the team WDFLG. I strongly recommend them for anyone needing specialization in navigating restraining orders, substance abuse, etc as part of their divorce.

Allison M.

Morgan Gay deserves more than five stars. She is honest, confident, fair, organized, compassionate (despite choosing law as her profession) and an excellent negotiator. She has exemplary communication skills, and was so easy to contact with any questions, concerns or advice. Divorce is a process of ups and downs, and she was so supportive through it all. She answered all of my questions promptly, and I had a million. She gave me plenty of time to organize and prepare myself for each next step. She would respond to me right after court with detailed status updates. I felt so confident and strong having Morgan in my corner.

Shyamie D.

Attorneys Jamie Teich and Dimitra Katsis are excellent lawyers, communicators, and counselors. Having dealt with “family” law attorneys before, I was/am a very difficult person/client to deal with and handle. Despite my previous bad experiences, I respected their work product, the words they chose to speak to me, and their handling/empathy of me — it’s rare to find attorneys that can do all that, especially in family law. I highly recommend them, and it would be a mistake not to hire them.

Another law firm was representing me, but I am glad that I switched to Josh’s firm. Josh represented me in a divorce case on two continents. He is smart, engaging, creative, smooth and persuasive in court. His bills were very reasonable when compared with my spouse’s. I would recommend Josh and his firm with no hesitation.

Sarah Vali is incredible. I have referred several friends to her and she is knowledgeable, helpful and empathetic. She is responsive and makes you feel not only heard but validated and empowered. 10/10 would recommend!

Complications with an existing divorce case and poor representation brought me to the Women’s Divorce and Family Law Group. A close friend and highly regarded attorney recommended the firm with confidence. After previously working with other attorneys, I can enter this review with experience and honesty. Upon my initial phone interview with James Teich, I was comfortable entering an agreement with the firm. I appreciated his wit and humor since my case was so dark. I genuinely hate court, and I thought this relationship could make the experience more bearable. I really underestimated what this experience would be. In court on day one I learned what a great defender he was in front of the Judge! Not only is Jamie a great defender, he is motivated on principal, will act in yours and your children’s best interest, is a strong negotiator, and will not back down in even the toughest battles. I would without hesitation recommend James Teich to represent even my closest friends or family members. While he is not the cheapest attorney you will find, it will cost you more to hire a less qualified attorney that drags cases on and requests unnecessary paperwork just to run up the bill. I am beyond grateful for his experience and tenacity, but more so for making the legal process bearable. Thank you!

I had the pleasure of knowing Stephanie Powers when she was still Stephanie Duarte. I unfortunately had to enlist her professional services for a very abrupt and painful divorce. Fortunately, I trusted my friend, and her intelligence and diligence paid off. Although I agree it should generally apply this way, the court heavily favors one party in these proceedings. I’m just so glad I trusted someone who knew this was wrong. Thank you Stef!

WFDL managed my divorce until the final judgement. They handled everything and ensure the least amount of undue stress. All issues were handled in a professional and swift matter. I would recommend this firm to anyone seeking to truly have their position hear and favorable carried out. Outstanding Job! Thank you

Dimitra and Josh were are large part of keeping me going during the year long process that we faced. I truly appreciate all of the work and effort that they put in for us and could never thank them enough.

I have worked with Sarah Vali and can affirmatively state that she is calm, competent, diligent and capable. I have seen her “put the fire out” in volatile situations and believe that she can handle the toughest of clients and opposing counsel. She is an asset to the firm and her clients are in very good hands when she is involved.

Christopher G.

I was opposing attorney in dissolution case working with Counsel Sarah Vali. Very professional, very good manners and very helpful, while strongly defending her client interest. Thank you, it was a pleasure working with you.

Patty G.

Attorney Morgan Gay was efficient, highly professional and extremely knowledgeable of family law. She always made time to fully answer my questions and address any concerns. She gave advice and guidance in a straight-forward genuine manner. She was extremely supportive and worked hard to keep my case moving forward even with extreme opposition from opposing counsel.

Barbara B.

Josh and Suzette were great to work with. They are both very professional and provided clear and timely communications at every turn. Suzette was very caring and understood well my anxiousness around the process. She did a great job of instantly calming any situation that arose and provided a genuine caring and compassion that helped to get me through the tougher days. She did a great job in explaining the documents so that I had confidence in what was being presented and put me at ease every step of the way. I would highly recommend working with Josh and Suzette – they made a very negative situation very positive in the end.

Tera H.

Josh is very professional and direct. It’s nice to have someone on my side who is always professional. Josh is such a hard worker and I am very happy with his service! Thank you for protecting me!!!

Julie S.

From the moment I started receiving services from Josh and his team, they have all treated me and my family with the utmost respect, compassion, and patience. They understand the amount of stress which is involved in the divorce / family law process and make the process easier to handle. I have always been provided multiple options on how to handle my case and never have felt forced into making a decision I was not comfortable with. I cannot say enough how much I recommend this firm.

Camille B.

I would definitely recommend WDFLG for a good divorce lawyer. Josh Haid is very knowledgeable about family law and experienced and skilled in the field. He is also very professional and polite and easy to talk to. He knows how to assess the situation and make the most of it, especially in my situation where things had not been handled well by a lawyer I started out with from another firm before I switched over to WDFLG.

I have heard from many other women who were going through or had gone through a divorce about lawyers who did not work thoroughly or wisely on their behalf. I was repeatedly reassured at WDFLG by good follow through on and smart approaches to issues that arose during the divorce process.

It was definitely a relief to have a solid, competent lawyer representing me in my divorce.

I am very grateful for their work.

Alice B.

My attorney and his team was worth every penny! They were professional, supportive, and easy to work with. They helped me get child support for my daughter’s college expenses. I want the world to know you guys & girls ROCK!
Thank you Josh and Ann! You have truly helped my family.

Patsy G.

After doing extensive research into choosing a divorce attorney, I made the right decision in selecting women’s divorce and family law group! I am grateful to Jamie Teich and Suzette Pierson. Their expertise helped me get through this stressful divorce. They listened to my concerns, made me laugh (what I needed), and offered their advice when I asked for it. They explained everything in terms I can understand. I especially loved the communication via email and phone. The firm is big on “saving the trees”… lol…no unnecessary paper work. My case lasted 3 years and I only have a few sheets of paper! Also, I only had to go into the office once! Excellent communication.

Thank you again for all you have done for me!

Attorney James Teich is a rare and refreshing breed–an amazing attorney who is astute, tenacious and kind. He gets impressive results because he listens, works hard, and always has his conscience deeply engaged–both in and out of the courtroom. In a word? INTEGRITY. Mr. Teich is a brilliant advocate for women, and I am grateful and humbled by all he has done on behalf of my children and me.

Mallory F.

Megan was outstanding from beginning to end. I was seeking to relocate myself and child out of state to be with my new husband who is in the military and unable to relocate himself. Although the process was grueling (more in part to the opposing counsel!) Megan reassured me and always validated my concerns. My questions and emails were answered and followed up with in a timely manner. She was genuinely concerned with my well being during the duration of the case, which was extremely important to me. In the end, we were able to relocate and even bring to an end multiple other issues. She did everything I needed and more. Highly recommend !!

Madison W.

Joshua Haid is awesome. He’s super intelligent, easy to talk to, and most importantly, he’s genuine. As I’m sure you know, the latter isn’t something to be said of most attorneys. Words cannot describe how much he has done for my son and I. I am eternally grateful and highly recommend him to anyone in need.

I am a stage 4 Breast Cancer survivor who was sent from IL and abandoned in CA in a diaper and a wheel chair. I was surviving on SSI and sleeping on my family’s couches. I was looking for a divorce lawyer by phone because my original lawyer gave my rights to my house and my son to my then husband . No firm would support my case against my very affluent and powerful husband. This law firm took a chance on me. Josh performed my consultation over the phone while I was in CA. I got back to Champaign, IL and this law firm helped me fight a very difficult case and all the damage the first lawyer did. Josh would have to travel the 274 round-trip miles to represent me at every court case. In the end, we were quite successful and I’m so thankful they took a chance on me. I would definitely recommend this firm for any Family Law situation!

Michelle

I was referred to Josh and firm through literature I was reading from a female attorney in Michigan. After speaking with him, and feeling I had no hope, I went into his office on my birthday and knew immediately I found a diamond in the rough. Josh also assigned Megan to my case and though it was a long road, Josh’s strategy was well worth it. This firm gets it as what we as women go through and my life changed because of it. Thank you so much!

I had a difficult case in that I wanted to remove my son from Illinois (specifically- Cook County). His father visits often with him, paid child support, etc. Though my teenage son has an involved father, I could offer a better quality of life in MO where I would be able to reside with my husband. The case seemed pretty simple but I knew that I had a 50/50 chance as Cook County does not like to allow removal of a child- specifically when the father is involved. I researched several attorneys but ultimately felt the Josh Haid was the best choice if I was going to have any chance at all. I met Josh in his office and we spoke about what my odds were. Josh helped me through court. Though I can not say enough great things about Josh, Suzette (another attorney on the case) was really my rock. She called me when I needed her to, responded to my worried emails and helped me think through my next course of action. My case was not typical in that we were thrown a couple surprises by the judge but that is why I wanted to best attorney that I could possibly have. The case lasted around 5 months but I can finally say the judge granted my relocation request today. I can finally give my son the white picket fence, great school system and community that I have always dreamed of for him. Thank you Josh and Suzette. You have forever changed our lives!

Josh Haid and staff are awesome

Josh Haid was my attorney and he did a good job of explaining my options and telling me when to let things go.

Hi ladies,
As we can all agree it’s very difficult to go through a divorce let alone find a good Attorney who will work very diligently for you and your children. I have been divorced for many years and my attorney that I originally had unfortunately passed away. And after my ex husband refused to follow our divorce decree, rather than going through the phone book making phone calls, I decided to go to Chicago myself to the Daley Center and search for an attorney…yes sounds kind of strange, but it’s true. During my search while at the Daley Center I met Attorney James Teich. Funny… I was talking to one of the clerks and he overheard my conversation and said “maybe I can help you”. We chatted briefly, met at his office and I hired him!

I could definitely tell by his personality, he is a good person , as he was easy to talk to. I could tell he was NOT one of those arrogant lazy lawyers that was willing to take your money and not do the work for you… And as Lynn P. quoted on Yelp, “James Teich is a rare breed and refreshing”. That he is! He will make sure that things get done. I felt confident with him representing me even though I was not in court with him because I lived out of state. James handled things so proficiently…and for that I am very grateful. I promise you if you hire James Teich to represent you he will not let you down, he worked very very very hard for me and I know had I not met and hired him, I may not have gotten the results that I did. My ex husband appealed the court’s decision and it went into the court of appeals and with James hard work I won my case.
James Teich ….YOUR THE BEST WOMAN’S ATTORNEY IN CHICAGO!!!

My Attorney Joshua Haid was the most professional Attorney I have ever hired. I have used two other Lawyers one for my divorce who was completely incompetent. The second was for appealing my divorce through the appellate court which I lost. Then I hired Josh and got exactly what I wanted in ONE court date trial. I would defiantly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a divorce lawyer.

This law firm has changed my life. Rachel F. and Jamie Teich are hands down the most solid representation above and beyond anything I could have asked for. Long story short, when I got divorced I was in throes of an alcoholic addiction and my ex-husband (an attorney himself — different practice, different firm) buried me with the judgment. I lost everything. My kids, the house, the cars, the dog, my life as I knew it.
When I found Jamie and Rachel, in a miraculous amount of time they were (and still are) amending everything in my court such that I am finally (after close to two years!) back with my kids. We make progress on a weekly basis. They make the exact arguments using just the right case precedent and know the law and how to utilize it. With every pre-trial, motion, and letter to opposing counsel, email and phone call with me — we make progress. They have and continue to fight for justice in my case. I am thrilled with them. They genuinely care about me. They care about my kids. I am and will always be so grateful to this law Firm for effecting real, swift, and positive change in my life. Five stars aren’t enough. I truly believe the cases they take, and because of their fierce attention to detail, and ability to wield the law how they so artful can — will honestly set precedent for other parents who were in my position. They’re incredible.
