Denise is such a breath of fresh air when it comes to dealing with attorneys. I knew I was going to be in good hands after my 1 hour initial consultation with her. After I retained her (a day after my consult) she sent me a lengthy email of everything we had discussed in our call. I was so impressed! She's the only attorney that took the time to listen to all of my concerns. The other attorneys I consulted with didn't seem genuine and rushed to get off the phone with me. I'm so glad I found Denise. She basically handled the entire case on her own. My ex-husband's attorney was not the best to deal with. Denise is meticulous and exceptional! I felt as if I was her only client because of how fast she would respond to my emails/calls. I felt like I was priority and let me tell you it made me feel appreciated. I was going through the worst patch in my life, but thanks to Denise my divorce was seamless. She's not only a great attorney but an amazing person. I am an introvert and have social anxiety, but Denise made me feel so comfortable, I felt as if I was talking to my mom or someone close to me. If you're looking for a rockstar attorney to handle your case, look no further!

Denise cares about her clients. She worked with me to explain the process and represent my interests while keeping my legal fees as minimal as possible.

Denise helped guide me through a very complicated situation while skillfully advising me through my case at every step. We negotiated the best conclusion possible and I am eternally grateful for her help. I hope you never have to hire an attorney for any reason, but if you do, hire Denise!

While looking for a lawyer, I googled best divorce lawyers in DuPage County and Denise Erlich's name appeared. During the free consultation, she explained the whole divorce process in a very understandable way; she listened to all of my questions and answered them with confidence, and honesty, taking as much time as needed with me. I was very impressed by her intelligence and experience. She made me feel extremely comfortable and I knew I wanted her to represent me. She is very hands on and easy to reach, whenever needed, either by phone or email. She gets back to you very quickly and you actually talk to her and not someone that works for her. Denise exceeded all of my expectations. I highly recommend her for any legal representation.

I cannot adequately express my satisfaction and gratitude for Denise Erlich and the Erlich Law Office, LLC. I found myself in a situation where my entire world was imploding around me and I could not have gotten through it without the steady composure, focus and experience that Denise provided me. She is the most caring and understand attorney that I've ever had experience with. I found myself dealing with a very manipulative ex and her manipulative attorney, but she always kept me focused and did not let me or the case get distracted by all the “noise” that the other side was creating. Without her steady focus and ability to see through all the distractions that were thrown out there I would have absolutely taken the bait and my divorce process would have had a completely different result. Denise was always available and never made me feel that I was not a priority to her. I felt I could text her or talk to her whenever I had a question or concern no matter how minor it was. She listened closely to my concerns, provided her experienced professional advice and reassured me that everything would be okay. She kept me very well informed every step of the way and if I had any questions, she was timely in returning my calls. If I didn't agree or didn't like the way it might turn out in court, she advised me on very good alternatives. She is experienced, tenacious, sharp, ethical and knows family law inside and out. At the same time, she is personable, empathetic and understanding. I could not have made it through the horrible process if it was not for Denise. I am beyond satisfied and thankful I had her on my side.

It is unfortunate that I need to seek personal legal advice, but I am glad that I decided to retain Denise as my lawyer. Very responsive, thorough, and fair billing. Highly recommended.

Denise has been my attorney for three years. She’s very hardworking and dependable. There hasn’t been a time I have called nor emailed that she hasn’t responded right away. (She’s been sick with the flu as well as on vacation) and still answered.
I am currently involved with a horrific court battle with my sons mom for custody. From day 1 Denise has been very hardworking. She’s truly a great attorney. I have watched her kick butt in trial against attorneys. She’s very organized which means everything in court. If I could give her more stars I would. It’s a relief to have a great attorney.

Denise is a wonderful attorney and human being. She is fair, honest, kind, and tends to her clients' needs in every way possible. Denise clearly communicates every step involved with the legal processes she carries out and is extremely knowledgeable. She always has her client's best interest in mind and is very approachable/friendly.

Denise represented me for my divorce. This was a very emotional, scary process to go through, but with the help and guidance of Denise, it was much easier. I had multiple questions and concerns. Denise, always answered all my questions whether it was email, in person, or on the phone. She was very prompt, compassionate and knowledgeable. I am very grateful to find a hardworking lawyer and would recommend Denise to anyone.

Denise Erlich is one of the hardest working lawyers that I have ever met. Denise always makes time to respond to emails and questions.
I have used Denise's legal services for two post-decree high conflict cases. Denise has been on top of everything from the beginning of each case. Her steadfast determination to stay focused and organized even caused my ex and his lawyer to withdraw their Motion to Modify Child Support recently. Denise's ability to hold my ex-husband's lawyer accountable has saved me thousands of dollars and months in Court.
Denise truly gets High Conflict Divorce and if you are dealing with a difficult ex-spouse or partner, Denise is your best choice for legal help. When I was traumatized and stressed out, Denise put my mind at ease and made me feel more empowered throughout the whole legal process. This is so important for victims of domestic abuse of any kind. Denise provides clear and focused legal advice and asserts her clients' rights so that they can concentrate on their families and their careers while going through divorce. Colleen H.

I hired Denise for my divorce case and was extremely pleased with the way she handled the case. Denise is a capable attorney, a true professional and is very responsive. In most cases, she answered my questions responded to my emails on the same day. Denise clearly explained the process , expectations and timeline. There were no surprises.
Denise managed the other side attorney well and did an excellent job of keeping costs down given the unreasonable requests coming from the other attorney. I am also appreciative of her clear communication style and fit-for-purpose solutions that enabled completing the divorce process in a reasonable time.
I have no hesitation in recommending Denise.

I've been dragged into some really unwanted IL family law situations over the past five years, and of all the lawyers I've worked with in the Chicago area - which are many at this point - Denise Erlich has been far and away the best. She's compassionate, hard-working and knowledgeable, plus she's honest and ferocious. I've been thrown under the bus by fee-churning opportunists and taken advantage of by impersonal, greedy lawyers before... but Denise bills only for the acutal work she does and it's been a very favorable experience, in spite of the struggle. I highly recommend her!

Denise is a generous, compassionate, hard working lawyer. You can always count on getting a response via email or phone. You are never waiting for days for a reply or feel neglected. I have even gotten replies into the evening when you know she at home and not at the office. I have a high level of respect for her knowledge, understanding, honesty, and her genuine concern for your case. Denise is easy to talk to you and you will be very pleased if you choose her for your legal needs! Denise does an excellent job!

Denise provided me with excellent counsel in a collaborative divorce setting. She was excellent in keeping the process moving while allowing me the time to work through the emotions associated with divorce. She was very fair with her fees, and highly ethical. She also kept opposing counsel on task throughout the process. She is an excellent advocate who maintains professionalism and respect for all parties involved. She works efficiently, and tries hard to keep her fees down. I think she genuinely cares about her clients well being. She is a credit to her difficult profession.

Denise Erlich is an tenacious, thorough, determined, and exceptional lawyer. She is every bit as competent as the downtown lawyers who charge more than double her hourly rate. She is compassionate, but aggressive in obtaining the best settlement. Ms. Erlich helped me get the best settlement possible and supported me emotionally through a difficult and stressful proceeding. Denise stayed ahead of the game by anticipating opposing counsel's next moves. Ms. Erlich was tenacious and demonstrated confidence and a readiness to go to trial. Her unrelenting work ethic and determination ultimately persuaded the defendant and opposing counsel to settle on terms very favorable for me. Her skill resulted in an outcome that exceeded my expectations. I would HIGHLY recommend Ms. Erlich for your litigation needs.

We are very glad we found Denise online. All the reviews helped us decide to use her represent our case. She is a very fair lawyer. Someone that will speak her mind and tell you the truth. Her advice helped us tremendously. If we would have used anyone else or not listen to her, we would not have the case turned around. Denise was able to guide us all the way to the final court date. She replied to us within 24 hours and claimed us down during stressful times. Denise is very professional. She did all her paperwork and calculation, on top of everything, let's you know exactly what is going on, and helped us get the best outcome. Most importantly she can deliver all the work that she did and convince the judge to see the other side of the story. I am very glad that we used her and now it is over. She can help you too. Call her to schedule a free consultation. Good luck!

Denise represented me in a real estate litigation suit. She did a great job of managing the other side, positioning our case and getting the matter settled. I would use her again and recommend her to any business looking for a smart, effective lawyer.

Denise Erlich is an intelligent, hard-working, compassionate, reasonable and generous lawyer. I really can't say enough in a review to express my gratitude and respect for her work, but I'll try. Ms. Erlich helped me get through a highly-contentious divorce trial, and she constantly worked with me on possible solutions instead of allowing me to get caught up in the legal and emotional battles that are involved in these sort of cases. Even though my case was contentious, Ms. Erlich showed the skills to work through collaborative divorce proceedings as well. Up until the trial, she made multiple attempts to forge an agreement, but the opposing attorney was extremely unwilling to negotiate the terms of the agreement. We therefore had to go to trial. When we did, Ms. Erlich was unrelenting in her work in and out of the court to make the best possible case for me. It was a direct result of this hard-working dedication and her skills in the courtroom that I received a decision that exceeded my expectations. No matter what level of legal difficulty you are facing, I would recommend Denise Erlich to help you.

At a time when I felt most helpless, Denise Erlich was referred to me. She was affordable, fair, and easy to talk to about all subject matters. I always knew where things stood as she was an excellent communicator, responding to phone calls and emails promptly. Also, I did not feel nickeled and dimed for every phone call and email. She was knowledgeable and honest on all fronts. I was able to obtain the outcome that I was looking for through her hard work and dedication. I highly recommend Denise!
