During a divorce with custody disputed, the stakes cannot be higher. Thankfully, in our case, we were able to work with Dr. Petrich (Gail). As parents, it was invaluable to be coached into seeing each other as people again. This allowed us to focus on what we each needed most, instead of what we were advised that we "deserved". By doing that, we unlocked the impossible and reached agreement on custody and marital asset division. Closing this chapter of life on agreeable terms creates a gift for the future of our children. Gail's professional skills are that of a master, but it is the ability to apply those skills to shift the energy of tough situations that make her a true artist. I would highly recommend her for any challenging conflict resolution - the earlier in the process the better!

We used Gail for divorce mediation. She was late for every appointment. She clearly hadn't ever review anything prior to our meetings and then never sent us our final documents. She was supposed to connect us with a lawyer at the end who 'she works with' to finalize and file our case, she did not do that, she completely disappeared once our last payment was sent. I called and emailed many times and no one responded. She was slow during meetings and wasn't much help with any questions we had. If it hadn't been during a pandemic we would have changed mediator. Ours was a simple divorce, I would hate someone in the middle of a stressful divorce to have to deal with this unprofessionalism on top of that.

This women will continue to try to convince you that abuse of your children is okay. She as a mandated reporter will hide abuse in order to assure she will receive a paycheck from you as long as possible. She will make excuses for the abuser and lie to Judges/Child representatives/DCFS, because if the children get removed from the abusive home she loses you as a client. Please make sure to report this woman to the state of Illinois if anything like this has happened to you. A hospital Doctor that had to care for our children said that Dr. Gail Petrich’s actions are “disgusting and she should be ashamed of herself”. We cannot let people like Dr. Gail Petrich continue to practice.
