Tina Abramovitch is an experienced lawyer who specializes in divorce, separation, adoption and child support! I reviewed 32 lawyers and had five consultations. After five minutes with Tina Abramovitch I was convinced that Tina would be retained to represent me. She is calm, fair, logical, experienced, knowledgeable, and will advocate for her client using ethical practices in alignment with the law! No question was too small, she gave my voice value and as an accomplished person with a six figure salary I was able to walk away without paying child support, maintenance, and retain the home that I owned. I realize that no two situations are the same which is why you should call for your free consultation so that you can be advised of your rights. It's a process but under Tina's leadership she will get the job done! Allow her to do her job and you will not regret retaining such a phenomenal woman to represent you!
When I first spoke with Tina she came off as experienced and confident about what she could do for me. My divorce/custody case was complicated with a very unreasonable exwife. Tina (herself) was there for me every step of the way. Not only did she win for me but she also got things entered that I didn't even realize I could get. To sum it up she went above and beyond for my family and I. Thank you Tina!
Divorce is not easy and finding an honest lawyer is even harder. My best friend gave me Tina's name and number my first surprise was how quickly she called me back. I was so nervous and unsure I canceled on her twice so I was surprised that she would even see me when I called the third time. When we met she told me what I needed to know not what I wanted and to hear. I retained her services just in case, and thank God I did because when the bottom fell out she was there and moved quickly to file on my behalf. I would get my information quickly if not the same day they received it I would received it the next day. If I didn't understand something there was always someone to explain it to me. Her team is also very kind, understanding and very helpful. Tina makes sure you understand that she will tried her best to get you the most. She doesn't promise something she can't deliver and I respect that. At the end I got the best outcome and a refund, who has ever heard of a lawyer giving you back money? Not me!!!! It was a nice surprise. Although I ended up using the refund so that she could represent me again it was worth it because I received a positive outcome. l love the fact that she knows what she is great at and who on her team can do it better. I can go on and on, on how happy I am with Tina's services. I will always cherish the day that I went to say thank you for her services, how the team came out and said goodbye and wished me the best. So if you need a lawyer I would highly recommend Tina Abramovitch and her firm.
I retained Tina after interviewing numerous attorneys and she was by far the best. She gets down to the facts and understands the law, but more importantly helps you understand the law and your options. I highly recommend her for anyone going through a contentious custody or divorce case. She knows how to deal with very difficult opposing counsels and unreasonable opposing parties. She listened to my needs and answered all of my questions (there were many) and she was never too busy for me. Tina helped me get through a difficult process and at the end of it all I was happy with the outcome. Hire Tina and you won’t be disappointed.
I am an LGBTQ individual. After my ex walked out on me unexpectedly, it left me in a horrific situation both financially and mentally. The first few weeks of any divorce situation are a confused mosaic of attempting to handle loss while dealing with the legal and financial realities of a position one never expected to find oneself in. I was placed in touch with Tina and she listened patiently while, admittedly between tears, I babbled incoherently about the circumstances of the divorce. She answered a slew of initial questions with diligence and quite calming logic. From that moment, I was in the safest hands possible. There is truth to the quote that "Human beings came from mud and at our core is still mud. No one can be a divorce lawyer and doubt that." Thus I was in for a fight. Yet, I had an entire team in my corner and I cannot begin to tell you what a relief and how empowering that is. Naturally, as the case progressed, every day would bring more questions. Every single one received a fast and thorough answer. Tina has assembled a staff at Badesch Abromovitch who are courteous, respectful and patient to a fault- from the office secretary to the paralegals to the partners. Eve the process server was more of a collaborator, working with me and going above and beyond regular business hours to make sure that my ex was served. (Ultimately he had to locate her at one of her late night concerts!) William McSurley handled what was probably the trickiest part of the case - negotiations with the Marriage Settlement Agreement. During a tireless week of effort on his part, he was able to come up with a solution at minimal cost to myself thanks to an almost preternatural ability to draw the other party into his confidence and calmly work with her in as much as he did with me. I must have emailed him dozens of questions that week, and despite I am sure having other clients with far more complex situations than my own, he responded to each email within no more than two hours. Naturally, it is better for all concerned that a divorce never sees the months and work involved in a trial. William seemed to be on a personal mission to ensure that it never came to that. However, despite securing my ex's signature on the MSA and judgement, he cautioned me that my ex could still challenge the divorce even on the day of the Prove Up hearing. In that event, he assured me that the firm was willing and able to go to trial and go to the mat for me. Fortunately, the Prove Up hearing went beautifully. William was fully prepared on the day and, after months of turmoil, it was the simplest hour in the entire, wretched episode of my life. I was able to walk out of that courtroom with the past firmly behind me and the opportunity to begin a new year with a new lease on the future. I wouldn't wish, what I went through after my ex left on anyone. No matter how much we place our hopes and dreams in a person we believe will be a lifetime partner, divorce is a reality most face more often than not. Any search online reveals stories that show the ugliest side of human nature in drawn out and often soul-destroying battles of even the pettiest of objects. If there is a bright side to it, then it is defined, not only by the enduring support of one's friends and family members, but by a law firm wholly dedicated to getting you through with your sanity and even your finances intact. There was never a moment at B&A when I felt unrepresented or, more significantly disrespected because of my LGBTQ status. I wasn't just another client. I was a part of their mission and the end result was one to which the word "satisfaction" simply cannot provide ample justice. As I was putting my coat on to leave, William told me that if I had any other questions in the future not to hesitate to get in touch. The partnership with B&A does not end with final judgement. Thank you!!
I cannot thank Tina enough for everything she has done for me. She has gone above and beyond on multiple occasions. My ex-husband is a very difficult person who is constantly playing games and trying to manipulate the system. He is an attorney and tries to use that to his advantage. Tina has always been one step ahead of him. We have been to court at least a dozen times over the past three years and we have never lost. When I was first going through the process, I just wanted to be out of the marriage and was willing to give up a lot. Tina gave me very good advice and encouraged me to fight. Three years later I can't thank her enough for encouraging me. Had I not listened to her advice my son and I would not be doing nearly as well as we are today. Tina is a huge part of my support system as I go through the trials and tribulations of divorce. There have been multiple times where I have emailed Tina in a panic at night or on the weekend and she has replied right away. I believe she goes way above and beyond the call of duty. I also believe her rates are very competitive. I did a lot of research on different law firms and none came close to offering the service I got with Tina at the rates I was receiving. She is good at delegating work out to paralegals and/or other attorney's when possible in order to reduce my cost, yet she still is managing the case and answering all my questions as they come about. I am constantly giving Tina referrals and will continue to do so.
I would highly recommend this attorney . she truly cares and is very helpful . I was under a lot of stress for a long time even though I had an attorney working on my case for two YEARS . But when she took over it was a big relief and the case was finish after two months of hiring her I'm am very satisfied with the result. By the way the other attorney is Barry Locke do not hire please run away from him he just wants your money and does not care about the case or the best for your children.
I met with Tina in February 2010 when I decided to file for divorce. I interviewed a couple of other lawyers but I felt most comfortable with her. From the intitial free consulation to the final court date in August of this year, Tina was very professional. She kept me updated on things as they moved along and her fee (I believe) was reasonable for her services. Her staff was alsways helpful and responsive--particularly Natalie and Vickie-- if I had questions about anything. There were snags and delays due to my ex-husband's incompetent counsel, and after awhile, it became a running joke between the two of us. But Tina did more than her share of prodding and pushing to keep the proceedings on track as best she could and for that I am grateful. She offered sound advice but followed my wishes. She fought for what I wanted and I was extremeluy pleased with the result. For the first (and last) experience in hiring a divorce lawyer, I feel I made a great decision and would highly recommend Tina Abramovitch to anyone. In my final QDRO settlement, I received what amounted to a 70% return on my money (in legal fees). Not a bad investment for 18 months of my life!
Tina matched with my very time sensitive child safety issue for my teen daughters both parentally kidnapped and frightened by a abusive Stepdad courtesy of corruption in DuPage County. She touted her partners success there and the boutique style of her family law firm. I liked her aggressiveness and demeanor about getting protection needed for my kids in a old case. She quoted a lower retainer, which I accepted, then doubled the retainer to a more normal level due to case complexity. We accepted this and continued in productive talks and finished all the paperwork. 48 hours later after driving 200 miles to deliver the files risking my life in storms to get there, and two days before Court hearing she assured us she'd be there for, she calls to say she cant take the case, because the retainer is too low. Not a word or care about my daughters trapoed and afraid with a maniac, but highly money focused and unreliable (we would have paid whatever price needed) and in the end politically unwilling to fight for two young girls trapped, whom she assured me she would aggressively protect. Im not sure what happened, just my kids are screwed now because I trusted Tina this week. She returned the retainer in full and seemed inappropriately proud of doing so. It was never about the money to us, but it surely was to Tina. Extremely disappointed 48 hour client.

Tina matched with my very time sensitive child safety issue for my teen daughters both parentally kidnapped and frightened by a abusive Stepdad courtesy of corruption in DuPage County. She touted her partners success there and the boutique style of her family law firm. I liked her aggressiveness and demeanor about getting protection needed for my kids in a old case. She quoted a lower retainer, which I accepted, then doubled the retainer to a more normal level due to case complexity. We accepted this and continued in productive talks and finished all the paperwork. 48 hours later after driving 200 miles to deliver the files risking my life in storms to get there, and two days before Court hearing she assured us she'd be there for, she calls to say she cant take the case, because the retainer is too low. Not a word or care about my daughters trapoed and afraid with a maniac, but highly money focused and unreliable (we would have paid whatever price needed) and in the end politically unwilling to fight for two young girls trapped, whom she assured me she would aggressively protect. Im not sure what happened, just my kids are screwed now because I trusted Tina this week. She returned the retainer in full and seemed inappropriately proud of doing so. It was never about the money to us, but it surely was to Tina. Extremely disappointed 48 hour client.
