Gordon helped me with my divorce seven years ago; and he helped me again when we had to take my ex-husband back to court, after he failed to refinance our home per the divorce judgement.  It took about a year and a half to finalize, but he got me the results I was looking for.

Rebecca, M.

Gordon was my attorney through an arduous 3 year divorce and post decree battle with my ex-husband. From day one, he guided me through emotional and difficult problems my case brought and effortlessly navigated the exceedingly complicated geography of Cook County Family Court with great ease. He has a keen awareness of the various judges and the changing laws, which gave him a major advantage over the other attorney in my case. Gordon is fair, honest, and prompt and although being very straightforward, has a way about him that comforts his clients during an exceedingly difficult time.
