Why Choose Beermann LLP?
If your divorce involves a family business, an investment portfolio, real estate, complex compensation, or contested custody — Beermann is built for exactly that. The firm has been ranked Tier 1 by Best Lawyers® for twelve consecutive years, an unbroken record in Illinois family law. Founding partner Miles Beermann helped shape modern matrimonial practice in this state, and the firm's bench includes equity partners who teach at law schools, sit on bar association committees, and write the legal commentary other lawyers cite. They are not the cheapest divorce firm in Chicago — they're the firm you hire when the stakes won't tolerate a mistake. Expect honest counsel, careful negotiation, and serious courtroom firepower if it comes to that.

What Clients Say
"My ex-husband owns three businesses and tried to hide everything in trusts. Beermann's forensic team unwound it all. I walked away with what I was actually entitled to and my kids' future is secure."
"I was up against an aggressive opposing counsel determined to keep me from my kids. My Beermann attorney was steady, prepared, and protected my parenting time at every hearing. They earned every dollar."
"Came back to Beermann eight years after my divorce when my ex tried to dramatically reduce maintenance. Same level of service, same outcome — my support payments stayed intact. Highly recommend."
