Making A Difference For Dads

Our Chicago based law firm has a demonstrated record of success on behalf of fathers in custody disputes arising in divorce and paternity cases, in related matters such as domestic violence protection orders, and in post-decree matters such as child abduction, parent relocation and modification of child support orders.

DADS HAVE RIGHTS

For over 30 years, fathers and families, including well known professional athletes, politicians and entertainment personalities, have sought Leving’s help in seeming less hopeless battles. The world was watching when Leving helped reunite Elian Gonzalez with his father in Cuba with the support of Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter.

Leving has assembled a team of unwavering attorneys who are committed to his mission of protecting fathers’ rights and assuring fairness in family law. Many of the firm’s attorneys have received significant awards and accolades for their work, including the President of the United States Service Award, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children Award of Merit, and the Domestic Relations Division of the Circuit Court of Cook County Award of Recognition. Our attorneys have also been honored by their peers as leaders in their field and have served as advisors on important government commissions.

While our law firm has earned our reputation fighting for fathers’ rights, we protect and defend all kinds of clients, including stepparents, grandparents and others with a legitimate interest in the wellbeing of a child, as well as executives and professionals seeking to protect their assets in divorce or paternity disputes. Our attorneys are fluent in Spanish, Polish, Ukrainian, German, or Russian and are ready to assist you.
