Cody Statum

Cody focuses his practice primarily on divorce and parenting/child support cases, while also guiding clients on probate and estate planning matters. Cody is a tireless advocate for his clients, who always first attempts to negotiate amicable settlement, but doesn’t hesitate to fiercely litigate cases in which settlement is not feasible. Cody understands that each client has a unique story, challenges, and goals; Cody prioritizes understanding each client’s individual needs to obtain the best outcome possible. Prior to starting at Blacha, Cody honed his skills by practicing at a large, international firm in the Chicago Loop. While in law school at the University of Illinois, Cody was an Associate Editor of, and authored a note published in, the Illinois Law Review. When not advocating for his clients, Cody enjoys musicals, sports, brunching in the western suburbs, and otherwise spending time with his wife, two dogs, and three cats.
