Firm Overview

The Premier Chicago Family Law Firm

With the sheer number of family law attorneys and law firms in the Chicago area and nationwide, it can be very difficult to find the right attorney who will provide you with high-caliber service, reliable legal counsel and zealous representation. At the Law Offices of Jeffery M. Leving℠, Ltd., we have assembled the best family law litigators recruited from across the country. Our lawyers are what set us apart.

As Seen On:

Our legal team is handpicked for excellence in legal advocacy and deeply held commitment to the health and welfare of our clients and their children. As a law firm, we are built from the ground up for the specific purpose of successfully handling the challenging cases for which many firms lack the will or resources. We regularly engage in complex, high-stakes and high-conflict matters in Cook County and across Illinois, and on behalf of clients throughout the United States. Attorneys of our firm have litigated in state and federal courts of Illinois, and before the Illinois Supreme Court, the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and the U.S. Supreme Court.

Our founding attorney, Jeffery M. Leving^®, has been featured on national TV and radio programs as a leading authority on fathers’ rights, family law and legislative reform. He is the author of three books — Fathers’ Rights, Divorce Wars, and How To Be A Good Divorced Dad — the latter of which was praised by President Obama. In 30-plus years of practice, Mr. Leving has been involved in high-profile and groundbreaking cases, including the international custody case of Elian Gonzales. Over the years, Jeffery M. Leving^® has built a team of top litigators from across the U.S. who share the same commitment to family law ideals.

We Stand With You From Beginning To End

Our core practice focuses on complex cases in the following categories that can overlap but always require highly effective discovery, analysis, strategy and advocacy:

Protecting Fathers

Countering the system’s residual bias against dads

Children's Issues

Sole and joint custody, paternity, child support

Divorce Litigation

Petitions of dissolution, property classification and division, maintenance/alimony

Family Law

Grandparents’ rights, adoption, appeals, guardianships

Domestic Violence

Grandparents’ rights, adoption, appeals, guardianships

Our efforts in this area of law have earned us a national reputation for excellence, including accolades from two U.S. presidents and recognition by the Illinois House of Representatives. Our commitment to the health and welfare of children and families goes beyond the courtroom as well. Our attorneys are deeply involved in the development of Illinois family law. Jeffery M. Leving^® was instrumental in drafting the Illinois statute on joint custody. He and the other lawyers of the firm remain committed to working with legislators and public figures to raise awareness for domestic relations issues in Illinois and throughout the United States.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have thus far enjoyed the assurance and relief that Michael Ochoa and Julia Keszycki have given me during my use of Jeffery M Leving Law. Everyone there has been attentive to my goals and concerns, and having a case over an hour away from the main office has not created any hurdles for me or my son. I highly recommend reaching out to this law office to familiarize yourself with what your potential can be in your respective courtroom scenario.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent services provided by my Atty's at Jeffrey Leving Ltd.  I cannot thank Atty's Anthony D' Agostino and Arthur Kallow of the law offices of Jeffery Leving for saving me from an unjust situation. The State claimed I owed child support for a child who became an adult decades ago. I was facing an absolute nightmare. They suspended my driver's license and put a lien on property that I didn't even own. It was a terrible ordeal that took a  massive toll on my finances and health. Anthony and Art stepped in and fought with true passion on my behalf. Thanks to their tireless efforts and willingness to go to great lengths for justice,the claimed arrearages were completely zeroed out. They literally saved me from this continuing nightmare and gave me back my life. I highly recommend D'Agostino and Kallow and the Law Offices of Jeffery M. Leving to anyone who needs aggressive, brilliant representation. They are worth every penny.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I met Anthony D’Agostino today at Law Office Of Jeffery Leving for a consultation and he’s an amazing attorney passionately helping fathers obtain custody and exceptional time with their kids. Anthony is a father himself so; he understands about life situations when it comes down to father’s rights. Us real fathers in the world deserve the same as mothers we don’t get that much praise but Anthony D’Agostino is the attorney to make a difference for fathers and your voice will be heard.
