Called Jeannie for an order of Protection. My hopefully soon to be ex husband is abusive and is an alcoholic. I was apprehensive after reading some reviews but after the first meeting with her, I felt a million times better and could tell that she was nothing like what was said. Jeannie took the time to explain to me not only legal aspects of my order of protection and divorce, but the entire process and what to expect. calls or emails are always responded to in a timely manner. She was amazing at my hearing for the order of protection and I can’t imagine anyone else assisting me in family cases. Thank you Jeannie and her team for all your hard work!!

Jeannie Ridings was a AMAZING attorney for my custody case. She was knowledgeable, reliable and TOUGH as nails in the courtroom! She makes the games STOP! Jeannie executed the case andin the end everyones best interrests were made top priority. She and her staff were straight forward, honest, and timely. I would recommend her to anyone going though a difficult case and otherwise.

Mrs. Ridings showed commitment and dedication during a time when I needed assistance and didn’t know what to do. She really knows what she is doing and I strongly recommend her!

I used Jeannie for a case with my daughter's father. We have been in court since my daughter was 2 years old about everything. I felt really nervous in the beginning because he was threatening me to take my daughter away from me and to make us go to court over and over again. Jeannie did a really good job protecting me from that and helped to tone down all the drama. We're done and I'm good with the parenting contract we made and that it's over.

I hired Jeanie because I wanted an aggressive trial lawyer as my ex was hiding money and assets. I was expecting to have to go to trial and waste time and money getting what was rightfully mine. Let me tell you, do not let Jeannie's appearance or kindness fool you, once she passes through the doors of that courthouse or walks into a deposition room, she is a Pitbull and the gloves come off! Her aggressiveness, knowledge of the law, and thoroughness was the only reason I was able to make it through my divorce. If you need a family law attorney in McHenry Co., Jeannie Ridings should be your first and last call. Thank you again Jeannie for everything you did on my case!!

Attorney Ridings is incredibly knowledgeable about family law. She stepped into an awful situation and saved my family. My life wouldn’t be the same without her. And her staff is equally as amazing!

My divorce was very complex. My Ex and I could not agree on parenting time or anything else for that matter and we had substantial assets, but we also had significant debts. All I wanted was my children and to have the ability to support them. Jeannie made that happen for me. She fought for me every step of the way and made sure that I received every penny I was entitled to. She made sure that my children’s lives were not disrupted by the divorce. They could stay in the only home they have ever known, they could continue to go to their same school and they can come home to me at the end of every day! Jeannie listened to me, and knew what was important to me and she fought to get me everything I wanted and needed - I’m so glad I retained her.

Jeannie was wonderful and honest and knowledgeable in my divorce case with my very difficult ex. Jeannie stood up for me & my children every step of the way. I had a difficult and emotional case and was happy to have Jeannie on my side.

Jeannie is an exemplary attorney second to none. In a civil litigation case I had, my original attorney who filed the suit was disqualified from representing me early on and Jeannie approached me in court and offered to represent me. She explained that she had been paying attention to my case from the beginning and felt that she should offer her expertise and experience to assist me in seeing justice be delivered. From the first day she represented me in the suit, her work was nothing short of professional, efficient and effective. Her ability to organize, strategize and fight is second to none. She methodically delivered the best legal representation anyone may see. As a result of her steadfast dedication, attention to detail and knowledge of the law, I won my case in trial with results I was not expecting. She was able to overcome restrictions on what the jury was allowed to hear during the trial and simply outperformed the opposing attorney and giving the jury the most complete picture that she was allowed to present. I also retained Jeannie in my current divorce proceedings and her work on that has been nothing short of perfect. She was able to use all means of the law to deliver me the personal closure I needed to follow through with my divorce. She doesn't back down and I trust her with any/all of my legal matters in the future. I highly recommend Jeannie Ridings to anyone seeking legal representation.

Jeannie does a great job of listening to everything and then determining options and the best approach to take. She helped me through my divorce. I feel we settled amicably, and avoided some long time commitments, which were both important to me. She knows the system and is very respected.

Jeannie was there for me every step of the way. Her and her team handled my case in an impeccable and professional manner. Throughout the whole divorce process, she insured that my voice was heard. Her knowledge and experience helped insure that my proceedings were completed in the most timely manner possible while protecting my interests. I can finally get on with my life. Thank you Jeannie!

Jeannie is a highly intelligent lawyer with compassion towards her clients. She was able to make good out of a bad situation. I highly recommend her!
