As a business owner, you poured your energy, your money, and your heart into the company you built.

In a situation like this, the advice and representation of an experienced attorney can be invaluable.
While a divorce can free you from the confines of an unhappy marriage, it can also present very real concerns about the future. You may worry about how you will make it on your own, how your property will be divided, and, most importantly, how you preserve a stable and consistent relationship with your children.

Throughout my difficult divorce Mr. Schwab worked tirelessly to provide me with the best possible representation.
He has a keen understanding of Illinois family law and the court system.

All my questions and concerns were promptly addressed and I was always treated with the utmost respect. I would recommend him to others without hesitation.

Van did a professional job helping me. His knowledge and grasp of the bigger picture helps clients to understand what is happening and more. He is very astute and has a sharp mind. Lawyers are not most people's favorite people but he might change your mind. If you understand the word Mensch...it fits.

I was recommended by a physician friend to call Mr. Schwab because he'd assisted my friend with his divorce, and was told that he highly recommended him and that his divorce took 5 months. After sending an e-mail to Mr. Schwab's office, within the day I was contacted by him personally to discuss my case. Each meeting, he worked with me during irregular hours and assisted in my hours of availability. He was professional when discussing fees, was transparent in what those fees would be, and was clear in how he billed. As the case went on, more documents needed, Mr. Schwab and his clerks

Simple divorce case, No kids, No property! Don't waste your time and money! Find someone with a better review! I should have as well. He was recommended by my Union advocate and after a phone call back to them I told them to find someone with a better record. I'm on here to find better divorce attorneys. Good luck

I followed a lawyer to this firm for my child support case. Later on, that lawyer transferred firms and my case was taken over by Mr. Van Schwab himself. I was given very good treatment by the previous lawyer and was a bit skeptical when my case was taken over. I am beyond greatful it happened. Mr. Van Schwab got me more results in court that I could ever had hoped for. I was treated so unfairly before by the courts, and with his amazing skill and experience, the tables completely turned around and I am finally victorious! Thank you so much for your time, dedication and understanding Mr. Schwab

We have worked with Van and Edward for our wills and adopting our son. They were quick to reply to any questions we had and made the whole process easy and stress free. They kept us up to date on the adoption process and worked around our schedule for court dates. Would use them again and would highly recommend this law firm.
