Law Offices of Sandra M. Rosenbloom ● Northfield, Illinois ● 847-441-1886
At the Law Offices of Sandra M. Rosenbloom in Northfield, Illinois, representing clients in Cook County and Lake County, I believe the best way to represent a client is to help them avoid divorce court as much as possible. I encourage my clients to explore out of court, non-confrontational solutions to their legal issues, whether it is a marital dissolution or a post-decree modification of a settlement. Too often it is not the divorce itself, but rather the traditional approach of divorce litigation -- two lawyers eager to fight over every issue without consideration for what the fighting is really about--that rends families apart and ruins the extended relationships that enrich life.
For more than twenty (20) years, I have focused solely on family and matrimonial law, and continue to search for creative solutions for each of my clients. I take the time to look at the entire family situation before I advise my clients. Each client's case is different; the circumstances, as well as the people involved deserve individualized attention, not a "cookie-cutter" approach of "one size fits all." Those of my clients who have had the opportunity to participate in Collaborative Law or Mediation have reported that they appreciated retaining the decision-making power and were relieved to discover that because of these processes they did not have to draw battle lines between family and friends.
In addition to my legal education at Loyola University of Chicago School of Law, I have undergone significant post-graduate training in Collaborative Law and Mediation. I am, and remain, committed to furthering non-confrontational models of conflict resolution. I am a fellow and former Board member of the Collaborative Law Institute of Chicago and lead a task force on training Collaborative practitioners. I am a member of the International Association of Collaborative Professionals, and a member of the editorial staff of the Collaborative Review. I am also a member of the Mediation Council of Illinois, and previously served on its Board of Directors. As an adjunct professor of law at Loyola University of Chicago Law School, I teach law students how to resolve disputes respectfully through mediation and Collaborative practice.
My focus on alternative dispute resolution methods such as Mediation and Collaborative divorce, as well as negotiating settlements, help my clients avoid the often bruising court battles and emotional trauma to themselves and their families that are often the unintended consequences of what is often called "traditional (litigated)" divorce.
