Timothy J. Reeb, a lifelong resident
of Will County, has built a successful legal career specializing in family law
and divorce as a partner at Reich, Jumbeck, Stole & Reeb, LLP. Tim's
educational background and diverse experiences in finance, business, and law
contribute to his comprehensive approach in representing clients.
Tim obtained his Bachelor's Degree
in Commerce from DePaul University, where he focused on Finance and Marketing.
He furthered his financial expertise by acquiring licenses as a General
Securities Representative (Series 7) and an Investment Advisor Representative
(Series 66). Tim then worked as a financial advisor with American Express
before owning and operating a small business in Darien, Illinois.
Continuing his pursuit of legal knowledge,
Tim attended Loyola University Chicago School of Law, where he graduated in the
top 8% of his class. While at Loyola, he honed his skills in tax law through
the Tax Law Clinic, negotiating with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on
behalf of clients. He also gained valuable experience with the Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) in their Department of Enforcement. Tim's
legal experience expanded further as he worked at Allstate Insurance Company's
Legal Department, where he was involved in the acquisition of an online
insurance provider.
After law school, Tim joined a
larger law firm in Chicago, specializing in complex financial litigation.
However, he later returned to his hometown and joined Reich, Jumbeck, Stole
& Reeb, LLP, where he is now a partner. In his role, Tim focuses on various
aspects of family law and divorce, including the resolution of complex
financial matters and child custody disputes. He represents clients in divorce
litigation, post-divorce cases, parentage matters, adoptions, and family law
appeals. While Tim aims to achieve resolutions outside of trial when it is in
the client's best interest, he has a proven track record of success in
navigating complicated divorce trials.
Tim has extensive experience in
family law litigation and settlement, handling cases involving the division of
substantial business assets and complex financial instruments. He has also
litigated cases involving maintenance, child support, and asset division. Tim
has successfully represented clients in contentious custody battles and often
serves as a Guardian Ad Litem, conducting investigations on behalf of judges to
determine the best interests of children. Additionally, judges frequently
appoint Tim as a mediator in cases involving parenting time and decision-making
disputes, as well as complex financial conflicts.
Outside of his legal practice, Tim
resides in Naperville, Illinois, where he enjoys golfing and playing the
guitar. He is a member of Mistwood Golf Course in Romeoville, Illinois, alongside
his fellow partner, Greg Jumbeck.
Timothy J. Reeb has also contributed
to legal scholarship through his published works, including articles on topics
such as insider trading and the role of foreign students in the U.S. science
and technology industries. His dedication and accomplishments have earned him
recognition, including being named to the Top 40 Under 40 by The National
Advocates and receiving the CALI Excellence for the Future Award in Legal
Writing.
Tim maintains active memberships in professional associations such as the Will County Bar Association, Illinois Bar Association, American Bar Association, and Chicago Bar Association. His involvement in these organizations reflects his commitment to professional growth and staying connected with the legal community.
