Biography

At SAM LAW OFFICE LLC, our divorce and child custody attorneys are committed to positively impacting our clients' lives. As a law firm that specializes in personal injury and family law, we work hard to be compassionate and understanding divorce lawyers for our clients going through difficult circumstances. Our legal team's mission is to provide vigorous representation and the unwavering service to help our clients achieve the outcome they deserve.

To see the deep impact our divorce attorneys have on the lives of our clients and their families, one simply needs to look at our history. We've served countless individuals in divorce and child custody cases throughout the Chicago area. We take on cases with an awareness of what must be protected and with a strong commitment to our clients. As advocates for our clients, we diligently work for the outcome they deserve.

Ms. Marks and Mr. Djonlich have helped countless clients find their way through the trauma of divorce, child support and child custody matters. They help their clients realize that they can survive and emerge stronger in the face of adverse issues and irrational spouses. Every client seeking help from our visitation and divorce attorneys has unique needs and issues.

At SAM LAW OFFICE LLC, our attorneys work with their clients to help them determine their financial needs before, during and after the proceeding. Their frank approach, telling clients what we can and cannot achieve in these cases, helps our clients understand the reality of the law and how it affects families.

In her divorce law practice, Ms. Marks is committed to helping people whose lives have been complicated by their marital relationships. As a skilled child custody attorney and divorce lawyer in the north and northwest suburbs, she handles many issues related to divorce, such as child custody, parental time, division of assets and more. Her skill as a negotiator and divorce lawyer can provide the vigorous representation essential to your case.

Many of Ms. Marks's clients require a divorce attorney who will listen to and with their needs. Understanding that every client comes in with a unique situation, Ms. Marks operates under the belief that each case requires careful deliberation to uncover the key to meeting that individual client's needs. Between child custody arrangements and asset division, divorce is an intricate matter, and the process often becomes emotionally draining for the client. Once she's accepted to represent a client, Ms. Marks never backs down from a divorce matter regardless of how complicated it becomes.

Furthermore, Ms. Marks is experienced in personal injury cases and brings to each case a strong medical background from her time spent an executive director at Midwest Orthopedic Network, LLC, managing a large network of orthopedic physicians. As a former nursing home administrator, she draws on her medical background to carefully navigate nursing home abuse and medical malpractice claims.
