Gitlin Law Firm

I have had the pleasure and great fortune to know Gunnar the majority of my professional career. Gunnar is a lawyer's lawyer. Family-law DNA literally runs through his body. He is very smart, fluent in family law, passionate, and a gentleman warrior. BTW - Gunnar literally wrote the book, and continues to update it, on Illinois Family law.

When I was searching for a lawyer to handle my divorce, I'd ask others who had gone through the process who they'd recommend. The one name that kept coming up was Gunnar Gitlin. I am so grateful, I listened. I found a caring individual who took the time to make sure I understood every aspect of my case and prepared me as to what to expect before each of my court dates. My divorce was complicated to say the least. Gunnar knew where and what to look for to make sure I received everything I was entitled to in my settlement. Gunnar knows the law backwards and forwards and that's what I needed.

Gunnar handled a very difficult situation for me. While I was emotionally devastated and shocked by my wife's divorce announcement, much legal worked needed to be done. He guided me through the process and educated me as to my options, weaknesses and strengths, even when some of the options were not good for him. His expertise in divorce law was amply evident. While we spoke at the courthouse, a parade of other divorce attorneys would respectfully greet him. This was never the case for other attorneys. Gunnar's knowledge of Illinois divorce law is also manifest by the fact that he literally wrote the book on Illinois divorce - Gitlin on Divorce. One aspect of Gunnar's expertise I specifically want to mention is his perception of the personality of my divorcing wife. He very rapidly understood her (extremely uncommon) mode of thinking and operation. He explained to me her likely actions and reactions. Even though we had been married for decades, I was far too emotionally wrought to come anywhere near matching his understanding.
