About

A licensed attorney since 2005, I have been representing clients in Divorce and Family Law for over 10 years. The Law Office of Jeffrey R. Esser was founded in 2011 to provide clients with personalized solutions for their legal issues.After receiving a bachelor’s degree in Classics from Northwestern University in Evanston, IL, I earned a law degree from the University of Southern California. I am licensed to practice law in Illinois and concentrate my practice on contested and uncontested divorce, child support services, wills and trusts, and prenuptial agreements.Because I believe everyone should have access to a competent attorney, I take on pro-bono cases through Chicago Volunteer Legal Services, and have earned CVLS’s Distinguished Service Award in 2010 and 2012.

I'm glad I retained Jeffrey for my divorce over the other 3 attorneys I met with. He listened to me, instead of handling the case by rote/formula. He is very proficient in accessing the value and division of retirement accounts and real estate; his results were much better for me than what other attorneys thought I would get. He kept the proceedings moving forward when my ex's attorney was constantly delaying things. He is straight-forward, punctual, organized, and extremely fair with his billing.

I am very satisfied in my experience with Jeffrey. He was very professional and was courteous and kind. He was very good at explaining details and made sure that I understood before moving on to the next thing. The process for an uncontested divorce was made really simple with his help and guidance. I would recommend him to a friend.

My wife and I used Jeffrey for an uncontested divorce and he was great during the whole process. Personable and understanding from the initial call all the way up to the follow up call after the process was completed. Strongly recommend him

If you are in an unfortunate situation and looking for an attorney look no further. Jeff represented me on a divorce case. Not only is he the best lawyer I have ever spoken to he is extremely genuine and will go the extra mile to talk to you. Jeffrey gets results. His calm demeanor, knowledge, expertise and willingness to help is second to none. I called Jeff on a Sunday and he did not waste one second getting to work. Very reasonable priced. Honestly stop your search and call this guy. His response time is outstanding. From the bottom of my heart Thank You Jeff for all you have done!

Being my first (and hopefully last) divorce Jeff was great! He explained everything to me, kept things moving, and had my best financial interest in mind. He was extremely professional and personable! I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a divorce attorney!

Mr. Esser makes the whole experience easy and painless. I, for one, wanted and needed an experienced lawyer that knew and understood my needs. Getting in contact with his was easy, even with a pandemic going on. He did all the leg work and fought for everything that I asked for

Due to pandemic I thought processing divorce documents was more complicated because of lockdown and limited in-person consultations, I was wrong because Jeff walked me through the entire process. The night I decided to end my marriage, I went online and searched for lawyers with good reviews. I took a chance on him based from good reviews. I sent him a message late that night and as far as I remember that was Sunday and to my surprised, he replied right away. I told to myself, I will hire him as my lawyer and from then on I stopped searching for another lawyer. I trusted him and I feel at ease sharing my marriage situation. He is very prompt answering my questions. He took time explaining legal things in a polite and a calm manner. Within 3 months of processing the marital agreements, my uncontested and inevitable divorce got approved. He was on track of everything and this helped me finalized my divorce at the target date. At the day of the prove up, I appreciated the fact that he is such a good listener mainly because Jeff was able to defend me before the judge. It was indeed a great relief after all the pain and disappointments. My marriage failed but somehow Jeff gave back my dignity. I can't thank you enough! More power to you!
