excellent advice and representation. I highly recommend Nicole O'Neal and her team. She is super prepared, competent and fully versed to get things done. She listened to me, my concerns, and responded appropriately giving me the best possible outcome. The result was better than I could have expected for sure.

High dollar doesn’t automatically equal high quality. Ted Butler listened and let me talk. However he didn’t really get me results. I asked to mark automatic alimony payments like the women shelter wisely suggested after seeing my ex’s “shenanigans”. Rightfully so. It was actually written in the divorce degree. However.. much to my shock marked out and initialized when everything was said and done. It lead to many years of more court sessions, gave my ex the opportunity to fall behind in $17000 in support payments. I figured an high end attorney would be worth it in such an important life changing matter. Please compare attorneys before settling.

Ted Butler was the attorney my wife hired to represent her in a contentious child custody and divorce case, which has been fraught with conflict. Initially, I harbored reservations about Mr. Butler, given that part of my ex-wife's strategy involved attempts to have me arrested, file multiple protective orders against me, and accuse me of spousal and child abuse. While it seemed initially that Ted Butler was complicit in this strategy, it became apparent over time that he may not have been fully informed about the complete truth, plans, or actions of his client. Throughout the ongoing divorce proceedings, I have come to believe that Ted Butler is an honest individual who strives to do his best for his clients. I am convinced that without Ted Butler's representation, my ex-wife's outcomes in court would have been significantly worse. As a former military combat veteran, my ex-wife consistently uses PTSD against me, despite my disability being rated at only 10 percent. It was a central component of her argument that I posed a danger to her and our children due to PTSD. While Ted Butler vigorously advocated for his client, he did not exploit my military service against me in court, despite my ex-wife's persistence in doing so. Although my divorce case is still pending, and Ted Butler is likely to remain my ex-wife's attorney, I want to acknowledge him as an honest and honorable attorney who fights vigorously but fairly.

Nicole O'Neal is very knowledgeable, professional, caring, and came highly recommended from my previous attorney. I initially met with Nicole in 2019 for legal advice and retained her a few months later. I have been working with her for 3+ years and cannot stress enough how smart she is. Nicole helped my family with a Transfer of Venue, Temporary Orders for Custody and Visitation, retaining the best GAL, and a successful Step-Parent Adoption; we did not make it easy on her, but she was always (literally, always) patient and kept the best interest of my children at heart. Highly, highly recommend Nicole!

If you're a father looking to get out of paying child support this is your guy! He will allow you to send in nothing but some random numbers typed up from "your business" while dragging the mother all over the ends of the earth to retain any and all of her financial output/input. In the end I was pressured by him and his client to "make signing this a priority" because his client couldn't make it to court.

Ken Hodge has been my family law lawyer since 2007; although I had no idea at that time, Ken has represented me since (15 YEARS) due to unpaid child support even when I relocated to Illinois in 2009. When I chose Ken Hodge to represent I did so because of his personal integrity, humble personality, and his astuteness in family law. He is an advocate for fairness and represents his clients as such. He ensures your needs are met and makes you “feel” like you’re his only client because he cares so deeply. None of us really know how long we require legal services, especially in family law; thank God I chose Ken!!! I strongly urge anyone looking for help with their divorce / custody to retain him – he really is the GOAT!!!

John offered great council while dealing with my divorce. The emotions from all sides can sway your thinking and approach. John was brilliant in knowing when to be aggressive but also when to show compassion. Realizing that all sides have a point of view and acknowledging that during the heat of negotiations was extremely valuable. My divorce was complicated with the other party using multiple opposing councils during the process to muddy the facts and to extend the cost. With every new attorney on the opposing side John was able to provide the detail and rational for the decisions that were made during mediation and finally in the court. John is extremely well versed in the law governing divorce while applying the practically to achieve positive outcomes. This approach saved thousands in fees while achieving a balanced outcome. One of the most difficult times of my life John was able to bring order to chaos and allow me to move on to a far better place. I was truly blessed in having John represent me along with his team.

JOHN MOSS is a top notch lawyer who goes above and beyond for his clients. My daughter needed a lawyer to combat some allegations from her former boyfriend. He asked the hard questions and proved in court that she was not guilty. Thanks John!

Let me just start by saying that John is amazing at his job. I would HIGHLY recommend ANYONE to retain Mr. Moss as their counsel. My case was very tumultuous and John made me feel so safe and taken care of. The genuine care that he displayed was beyond anything I could have asked for. I truly believe he was made for me and my specific case. John was able to do everything that I asked and the outcome of my case was EXACTLY what I wanted. Thank you so much John!

Do you need a caring, yet highly skilled lawyer to represent you in a divorce matter? John Moss remembers even the smallest of details that will ensure that truth and justice will prevail in your case. I highly recommend Mr. Moss for all family law matters.

I came to John on an emergency situation when my previous attorney found themselves in a conflict of Interest. John took my case and immediately went to work successfully saving what I thought was a dire situation. John and his team have been phenomenal point blank and simple. He’s always been available to provide consistent guidance and recommendations that are best suited for success in court. He also makes a valiant effort to protect my costs at all times which is extremely rare these days and certainly appreciated. I would give 6 stars if I could!
