About
Greg has devoted his entire professional career to helping clients involved in complex divorces move their cases efficiently toward resolution and achieve the best possible outcomes. He works on all aspects of family law, but concentrates on complicated high-net-worth financial matters for C-suite executives, business owners, and their spouses. He is equally skilled in resolving complex parenting matters.Recognized by Illinois Super Lawyers, Leading Lawyers, and Best Lawyers, Greg is sensitive to the turmoil and confusion that accompany the divorce process. He puts his clients at ease by assuring they have a clear understanding of what to expect as the process unfolds and by educating them on what the law provides. Aligning expectations with case realities also leads to greater comfort and clarity.From the beginning to the end of the process, Greg skillfully guides—and stands by—his clients. He helps clarify goals and develops the most appropriate plan and strategy to achieve them. Highly communicative and responsive, Greg keeps clients well-informed, and keeps his promises. He clearly explains the upside and downside of decisions that must be made along the way, as well as the potential outcomes available.With in-depth knowledge of the law and superb strategic, negotiation, mediation, and trial/litigation skills, Greg tailors his approach to the needs and circumstances of each client, pursuing a cooperative, negotiated settlement when appropriate and viable. When settlement is not viable, he is always prepared and ready for trial. As a trial lawyer, Greg has a reputation for integrity and for being creative, tenacious, and willing to stand up for his clients to protect and secure their futures.Regardless of whether resolution is obtained through negotiation or litigation, Greg’s broad objective is always the same: to provide exceptional service and value to his clients and assure their satisfaction.Greg has also held a number of leadership roles throughout his career. While he has served in many capacities, some notable examples include serving: as board member of CASA of DuPage, President of the Kane County Bar Association, a board member of DuPage Children's Museum Next Gen Board, director of the Kane County Bar Foundation, and member of the Assembly for the Illinois State Bar Association (which is the Supreme policy-making body of that organization).

I engaged Greg’s services for a prenuptial agreement. Greg provided excellent counsel throughout the entire process, patiently answered questions along the way, and was a strong advocate who consistently demonstrated a genuine desire to ensure my interests were protected. Greg is proactive, responsive, trustworthy, and a true professional. I would highly recommend Greg to anyone seeking representation.
The fact Gregs name was given to me via another divorce attorney says something about both. Hired Greg to handle a difficult and complex divorce case. Greg is a straight shooter and incredibly thorough! Greg had experience with spouses such as mine, who were great at manipulating others. I felt “heard” by Greg and he was going to leave no stone left unturned. Spouses such as my ex are moving targets and moving money quickly and hiding other assets is part of their game. Greg was able to settle my case without going into discovery, thus saving me a great deal of money. My ex realized he was dealing with an attorney who was very good at his job and because of Gregs expertise with this type of client, we were able to negotiate a settlement. I cannot say enough good things about Greg and his team. From the very first call, I felt confident in Gregs ability. If anyone can relate to the type of person I was married to, I promise you, hiring Greg will be the best investment you make!!
Greg was very responsive throughout the process providing timely updates on sessions in court. Greg also provided clear options for settlement which was achieved prior to the trial date.
Greg has been my chosen attorney for over 5 years now. He was great balance of aggressive when needed, always practical and peaceful when logical. He helped with both my original divorce and realigning parenting time/child support with an out of state parenting situation. Greg is always prepared and level headed.
I hope anyone reading this was the same as me...I thought I'd never have to talk to an attorney about a divorce. However, the day came when I did. I had actually been referred to another attorney, which wasn't a good experience. I was already lost and didn't know what to do nor expect with my divorce, my original attorney just confused me even more. Then I found GREG...he was a breathe of fresh air. Right away he not only made me feel comfortable, but also gave me the confidence that I would be be more than okay when everything was said and done. Greg not only gave me sound advice, but he also steered me right. Divorce is an ugly situation no matter how you look at it, but Greg's level headed approach helped alleviate the pettiness. Greg is compassionate, but can definitely be a bulldog if and when the need arises. With his direction and counseling, I feel I walked away better than I entered. Thanks Greg!
Gregory was extremely responsive throughout the process of my divorce. I found him to be a kind, calming, voice of reason during a time of my many heightened emotions. I would highly recommend Gregory to anyone seeking representation.
Greg represented me in my divorce case. Greg was thorough upon the beginning. Explaining all options and recommendations. He was easy to interact with as well as very open to hearing any of my questions or concerns. Greg was alway available to take my phone calls. Very open to scheduling times to meet that were convenient for me as well as very readily available if any matter became urgent. Many times I needed more time to discuss matters than time allotted... he was always very accommodating there. What was most important to me .... was when it was time to make decisions regarding legal matters through this process .... Greg always laid out each scenario for me as well as possible outcomes. This way I was best suited and educated in making the proper decisions best for me and my best interests. Greg is very personable overall. He interacted not only with me, but my extended family. This displays how much he really does care about his clients and the best path for them in a legal standpoint. At the end of my divorce “journey” I was extremely grateful I had Greg to guide me through.
Greg was a pleasure to work with during a stressful several months of the Divorce process. Because of his proactive approach and ability to listen and understand my goals, I ended up with a satisfactory close to my Divorce sooner than would have been achieved with my previous Attorney. He is low drama, common sense, and knows how to use the law to get to resolution quickly and efficiently. Once my case was concluded Greg also provided guidance for moving forward to make sure my privacy was protected and how to handle any future issues. I highly recommend Greg as an effective Divorce Attorney. Worth every dollar spent!
Greg Maksimuk is an attorney of the highest caliber. He collaborated to see me through the most difficult phase of my life - the demise of my twenty-five plus year marriage. Greg was continually attentive and responsive when distressing issues came up as they so often did. He was efficient, reliable and precise in his grasp of the law and applied those skills masterfully to my divorce case. There was never a moment I felt unsure of Greg’s ability to surmount the obstacles with diligence and knowledge. I recommend Greg Maksimuk with the utmost conviction.
I met with a few attorneys when I set out to hire a divorce attorney. Greg impressed me from the moment I met him because he asked me several questions which showed he was truly invested as a strategic thinker. He took time to understand all the personalities at play, what made each party tick and how to best negotiate. He took time to understood my priorities and put them first and foremost at all times...even when I needed a reminder. He not only looked at the situation and the law...but the bigger picture and potential risks down the road with certain outcomes. I truly felt he acted in my best interests on all levels at all times. Greg is both a peace keeper and a pit bull in one. He knows when to wear which hat and ultimately, he is the reason the case went as well as it did.
