Anique represented me in my very complex divorce case and I couldn't be happier with her services. Not only was she thorough and made sure I was educated on the laws, she also truly represented my interests. She wasn't out just to make a buck (as some lawyers are). She came up with interesting solutions to my issues and was available to me throughout some tumultuous situations. I would recommend Anique to anyone needing a lawyer when it comes to family court issues. She is compassionate, brilliant and will make sure you fully understand potential outcomes of different actions you can take. She truly represents the word "counsel."

Anique has the unique ability to listen with compassion & understanding yet in the courtroom is tenacious with composure.
She has represented me twice; first in 2013 with my divorce after 32 years of marriage and then again in 2015 when my ex-husband petitioned to end my maintenance. Both cases with successful outcomes for me.
Anique asks questions to understand the situation, discusses strategy & pulls case law that is applicable. She is responsive, knowledgeable, ethical, honest & straight forward in her legal advice/counseling.
Anique works very hard for the best possible outcome and is brilliant in court.
I highly recommend Anique Drouin and the law firm of Sullivan, Taylor & Gumina.

The senior attorney who handled my divorce several years ago added Anique Drouin to my case to help with a recent child support issue. This saved me money and introduced me to a female attorney who I trust and admire.
Anique was professional, worked as quickly as possible, and gave excellent advice. Even better, she was "real," focusing not just on legal and financial ramifications, but also on how any given action might influence the ongoing relationship with my ex-spouse. At every turn, I knew her primary interests were achieving justice and ensuring that my children receive proper care and support.
Anique was diligent in finding and interpreting the facts of my case. She brainstormed with me about creative options for reaching an agreement. She even observed body language (of both a judge and my ex-spouse) and factored that information into our approach to reaching a resolution.
Should the need arise, I will turn to Anique again in the future. I recommend her highly.

Mrs. Drouin was my attorney for my divorce. I had been married for 10 years and it ended up being a little complicated. Anique did an excellent job, is extremely hard working, and always made me feel that she was looking out for my best interests.

Anique is a tough lawyer. She stood up to the craziness of my former spouse without waivering. She gave me the opportunity to work on aspects of my paperwork to save my retainer, which helps with a kid in college. She is very responsive via email and phone. She answers all questions based on current practices in DuPage Cook. That was helpful since I live in Cook County.
I did have any disagreements or problems with her. She spoke to my former spouses attorney and negoitated a fair settlement. She really looked out for my best interest, and I felt confident with her representing me. She never went against my wishes, and she understood my emotional state as I worked to end my marriage. Her advice was valuable and saved me time and money.
Her paralegals were also very helpful and nice. My divorce was final in five months, which eliminated stress from my life. She was respectful of my family issues and worked around my schedule. I would hire her again if I ever needed a family lawyer.

My experience with Anique was unique. I felt comfortable about taliking to her about anything regarding my divorce, visitation etc. I could feel that she felt my pain of what I was going through, yet when I was unraveling she would help me to focus on the issue or issues at hand. She is very professional and detailed. Her personality puts you at ease even though you are going through a difficult time. She helped me to understand as to what was important to fight for and what things I needed to accept and "let go".
When going through difficult times you need to feel normal and that everything is going to be okay. I guess this is what I liked about Anique the most is that she has this infectious laugh that would relieve the tension and make me feel good about life and my future. I would highly recommend her in the future if I have the opportunity presents itself.
