It's exciting to see the next generation of attorneys developing their talents. Kudos to our law clerk Marie Boltz for her work on the DePaul University College of Law National Trial Team. Her team recently competed in New York as part of the 21st Annual Buffalo Niagara National Trial Competition. Trial competitions are a wonderful way for law students to hone their advocacy and litigation skills and learn from attorneys, judges and other students from across the country. #LawSchool #LawFirm #LawClerk University at Buffalo School of Law

News about Foo Fighters' frontman Dave Grohl's move to hire a divorce attorney before announcing that he'd recently fathered a child outside of his marriage drew speculation about his intentions. Yet, someone in Grohl's situation has more reasons than divorce to retain counsel. A family law attorney is a valuable resource for anyone with changing parental responsibilities and can help parents navigate complicated legal questions surrounding child custody and support to ensure every family member's needs are appropriately met. https://lnkd.in/gVhCyNgB #FamilyLaw #Divorce #DaveGrohl

No-fault divorce, which has been a part of Illinois law for decades, has come under new scrutiny from some lawmakers in recent years. Before it was a legal option, many couples were left with little choice but to pursue fault-based grounds for their divorces, causing a lot of heated litigation. In a no-fault divorce, neither party needs to prove wrongdoing by the other spouse, allowing for a simplified, speedier and less punitive and adversarial legal process. #Divorce #NoFaultDivorce #LawFirm
