Marjorie Sher

I have been practicing Family Law matters in Lake County, Illinois since 1993. I have a deep understanding of family law, which allows me to meet my clients' needs in resolving simple or complex family law matters, including property division, maintenance, and division of debt. In addition, I assist my clients with issues involving allocation of parental responsibilities, parenting time and support issues, whether simple or complicated. Lastly, I have significant experience in handling jurisdictional issues as well as Orders of Protection. All clients receive my personal attention and quick responses to their questions and needs. My focused practice and concentration streamlines the legal process and costs while providing quality results. I am entrenched in the Legal Community of Lake County, and have been President of the Lake County Bar Association, President of the Association of Women's Attorneys, Chair of the Family Law Committee of the LCBA and have been frequently appointed by the Courts as a Guardian Ad Litem, Child Representative and Mediator. There is no fee for an initial consultation in most cases. My office is conveniently located in downtown Waukegan across the street from the Lake County Courthouse. Call today for an initial consultation. Awards and Honors Honors Catalyst Award - LCBA, 2019 - Present Volunteer Lawyer of the Year, 2005 - Present
