Protecting Our Clients’ Rights and Interests

We provide these and other legal services in a caring and compassionate manner, but also in a way designed to protect the rights and interests of our clients. When we talk with you about your matter of concern, we will examine every relevant detail of your situation. We will examine all possible avenues by which we can take action. We will take the time to explain all of the issues involved in your case, your legal options, and the probable outcomes of these options. Our method is to provide this information in a comprehensive manner so you can make the right decisions about your future.

In the area of divorce and related matters, we seek solutions in ways designed to minimize costs and achieve acceptable and positive outcomes. We never yield in the protection of our clients’ rights and interests, or those of their children.

The founder of our firm, Dawn R. Underhill, served for 8 years as a prosecutor for Will County. There, she learned how to prosecute a case, and now uses that same knowledge to defend clients accused of misdemeanor and juvenile crimes. She has been a licensed attorney in the state of Illinois since 1992, and has six years of private practice, four years before working at State's Attorney's Office, and then after resigning from that office, two years back into the private sector.  We take an assertive approach to criminal defense – always seeking the best possible outcome and looking for ways to safeguard the futures of our clients.

We are conveniently located in downtown Joliet, Illinois. Our family law firm looks forward to meeting with you to discuss your legal matter.
