Divorce & Family Law

Our Approach

The family law practice group at Zukowski, Rogers, Flood & McArdle has more than 60 years of divorce litigation experience. In that time, ZRFM divorce lawyers have handled over 2,000 divorce cases.

Our attorneys always listen to settlement offers and advise you openly when they consider an offer unreasonable. In such cases, we are happy to let a judge decide any contested issues in a hearing.

The ZRFM family law group’s approach to divorce is to assist and counsel the whole person. We realize divorce is a traumatic experience. You require legal advice about divorce issues and a financial settlement, but you also may need guidance on reconciliation, taxes, real estate and business valuation, psychological and career counseling, and child custody and care.

As the largest law firm in McHenry County, ZRFM can assist you with many of these issues. We have attorneys at our firm with experience in many of these areas, including a CPA with an extensive tax and business valuation background. Several of our lawyers have extensive real estate credentials. We also have a network of professionals and resources that may be of value to you.

In the end, the ZRFM family law group is here to help you through the difficulties of a divorce. Our goal not only is to negotiate a favorable financial resolution for you, but also to help you through the emotional difficulty that accompanies a divorce.

For an extensive magazine profile about the approach employed by the Zukowski, Rogers, Flood & McArdle divorce law team — including Richard G. Flood, Melissa J. Cooney, Elizabeth Felt Wakeman, Anthony J. Sassan, and Timothy J. Clifton — please view the reprint from the 2011 edition of Leading Lawyers Magazine Consumer Edition.
