Never thought I would need help with a divorce, but found Patrick Markey through the Illinois bar association and was very glad I did. He and his assistant, Connie, were incredibly helpful and reassuring in my time of need. They communicated well and always in a timely fashion, laying out clearly what I needed to do. They also were accurate in assessing the inadequacy of the offer from my now ex-wife’s lawyer and managed to quickly resolve that into significantly better counter/offer that was within the guidelines provided by the state. If in need, dial Markey.

I am so grateful for finding Patrick. Long story short. He very quickly got my divorce case through the legal system and got me divorced (which is what I have been desperately wanting) During our court case he not only had one angle of attack to win our case but 3. Fortunately, the first angle was all the judge needed to hear. In the judges words “I agree with Patrick word for word”. I don’t know what a “normal divorce” is like but the friends of mine that have gotten divorced are shocked by 1) how much less I paid than them 2) how quickly I was able to get divorced 3) me not owing my ex ANYTHING! Yes, I took my family and friends out to dinner to celebrate. Thank you Patrick!

I consulted Patrick for my divorce and he made me feel comfortable from our first meeting. He made it very clear from our first meeting that the law was on my side, and guess what? It was and turned out exactly like he said it would. And what I mean by that is that the scenario he laid out in our first meeting is exactly how my divorce turned out. I hired Patrick for over 18 months and he and his staff were responsive the whole time. Jackie R. was very calm and kind over the phone, and my dealings with his associates were very professional and accurate. My ex contested many issues with our divorce, mostly including money, and Patrick's dealings with her attorney were forceful but also kind. He made it clear that he was all the way on my side and also the one who was in control of the situation. We went through private mediation with a retired judge who Patrick had a working relationship with and that made me very comfortable during the actual mediation session. It was clear to me that he had been doing this for many years and had relationships with the people making the decisions in these types of cases. Patrick is knowledgeable about the entire process too. I just finished my refinance this week, and Patrick was available for questions I had along the way. He guided me through the whole thing - before I had been served, immediately after I had been served, through the private mediation, and all the way into pre-trial, which is when we ended up settling. I felt like I was guided very well throughout the process. Lastly, the most important thing I think about from my experience is that it really did end up exactly like Patrick said it would. He is very knowledgeable about the law and has the experience to know what to expect, and has the relationships to get you to your destination. I'm sure he'll do a great job for you too.

I am a divorce lawyer who got divorced. Patrick was the best. He invoked reason when my emotions were taking over. His response time to emails and calls...is excellent. Patrick is no-nonsense and a straight shooter; he does not create drama where none exists; and made me feel like a priority. I can only hope I make my own clients feel the same. Thank you for your guidance during a difficult transition.

Patrick is very professional and empathetic. He set realistic goals, explained my options, and engaged with me on making decisions and coming to a conclusion. His firm uses newer technology for document sharing and exchange, which is safer and more efficient than my experience with a different law firm. I would definitely recommend him to family or friends going through a difficult divorce or separation.
