Legal Solutions Designed to Meet Your Individual Needs
Whatever it is that your legal issues involve, you deserve more than just a one-size-fits-all legal solution. At the law offices of Chrystel L. Gavlin, P.C., we see our clients as the individuals they are and take the time needed to understand, appreciate and meet the unique needs and goals each one presents.
Our practice is based in Will County and its nearby areas, and includes the following types of legal needs:
Family law and divorce: we handle contested and uncontested divorces, related issues such as custody, alimony and property division, and family law matters that include domestic violence issues and paternity actions.
Child custody: our lawyer can protect and preserve the meaningful role you want to have in your children's lives.
Child support: although child support amounts are based on a formula established by the state of Illinois, there are things an experienced attorney can do to affect the end result.
Post-divorce modifications and enforcement: because life brings changes and because ex-spouses don't always honor obligations, it is not uncommon for people to need divorce-related legal help long after the actual divorce decree was entered; find yours here.
Juvenile law and DCFS matters: we have extensive experience representing juveniles in both criminal and Department of Children and Family Services hearings.
Criminal law: we aggressively defend the rights of people charged with a wide range of felony and misdemeanor offenses, including serious traffic violations, drunk driving and drug charges.
DUI defense: if you or a family member has recently been arrested and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, we can help.
Domestic violence-related matters: Will County courts and prosecutors take domestic violence cases very seriously; we do too and would strongly suggest you talk to us about your defense options as soon as possible.
Residential real estate closings: we offer affordable, high quality real estate closing services on behalf of residential real estate purchasers and sellers.
