I have mainly the pleasure of working with Brad Erdman. The guy knows his stuff when it comes to case law, strategy and understanding the client's needs. I have also had the pleasure of working with Maxine and Amanda a bit. Both of them clearly have a mastery of divorce and family law. I have a complicated case involving a teen in another state, a change in income, a former spouse that is being difficult with the most basic of requests...heck, we have even had the judge be sick on several of our conference dates...yet, the team at WKO Family Law takes all of it in stride. When I got separated 15 years ago and finalized the divorce over 12 years ago, I wish...so wish I would've had them then. It would've saved me a lot of headache and possibly money over the years. As it stands now, at least they can help me to have a less stressful closing of issues as my teen reaches the age of adulthood.

WKO attorneys, especially founder, Maxine Weiss-Kunz, has set a high bar in matrimonial and family law. They strike the perfect balance of skillful litigation and settlement negotiation to provide outcomes that meet the individual needs of their clients. Their boutique practice allows for a client-centered approach. Whether you are in the market for a collaborative practice approach, need a fierce courtroom fighter, or anything in between, you’ll find strong counsel at WKO.

what a wonderfully comfortable environment during the hardest of times, thank you!

Weiss Kunz & Oliver is such a great firm! Both partners are intelligent, honest, hardworking, highly-respected, and extremely ethical lawyers! Maxine has experience and connections just like the lawyers in the big law firms, but works hard to represent at realistic rates and unparalleled professionalism. Weiss Kunz & Oliver will honestly assess your case, and tell you what they can likely achieve. Also, they have great paralegals that are significantly different in style so you can save money and have a match for your personality. Weiss Kunz & Oliver are eager to settle and happy to litigate--whatever will bring the best result for you as their client. Sadly, I needed legal services over a stretch of many years. Happily, Maxine Weiss Kunz resolved all issues in my favor. I have recommended at least 4 people undergoing divorce to this firm, and each person has provided me similar feedback: Honest lawyers working ethically and hard to help. They really are committed to the best outcome with the least conflict, not charging you excess fees.

Weiss Kunz & Oliver came highly recommended to us and they did not disappoint. The firm helped us with a post-decree custody and child support agreement which is typically not a smooth process. This team was efficient, responsive, and totally on their game in the courtroom. We are very grateful.

Maxine made my prenup review and signing a breeze! She walked me through and explained everything thoroughly to make sure I understood each and every word. In our initial conversation she told me that her main goal was to get me married which I appreciated. I didn't want this situation to be a stressful battle and she made sure that did not happen meanwhile looking out for my best interests. I appreciated all of her input and appreciated that she respected my decisions even if she didn't 100% agree. She was incredibly responsive and a pleasure to work with. I would absolutely recommend Maxine!

Maxine Weiss Kunz is an outstanding family law advocate who zealously achieves the best possible outcomes for her clients while remaining empathic to their individual needs. Maxine's compassionate success is a product of her eleven years of experience as a family law attorney, which has enabled her to broaden her skills as a Guardian Ad Litem, Child Representative, mediator, and collaborative lawyer. Maxine's excellent reputation in the Chicagoland family law community is well-deserved, and as her colleague, I give her my highest and most enthusiastic recommendation.
