Mark Brent is the lawyer that will fight for you. He will make sure you understand your rights and what is legally owed to you and your children, and he will get it done.

I didn’t think that the divorce process could be so smooth but Mark Brent and his team made it happen! I hired him in late January and my divorce was finalized mid-March. They handled everything and I mean EVERYTHING. They kept great communication through the whole process with me as well. I couldn’t have asked for a better firm to help me with all of this. Thank you so much!

He's keeping me on track and doesn't like...I've tried out many different attorneys before hiring him and at first it was weird for me to hand over my life to another person but I can see as I'm in my discovery phase that he wants as much info as he can to do t h e best job he can...organisation is key... Also I talked to the opposition's lawyer and he said I'm in very good hands so that tells you that there might not be a better lawyer in this area than him..

I hired Mark to represent me when I sought an Order of Protection against an abusive family member. I really needed the peace of mind of having someone represent me, as I know nothing about law and would probably crumple under the pressure if I tried to represent myself. Mark made me feel much better about the situation. He laid out all the facts for me and went over what would happen in court. When the court date came, he knew exactly what to say to the judge, and I really wonder if I would have won if Mark had not been representing me. He clearly cared about my case and he was kind and friendly to work with, but he is exactly as aggressive as he needs to be in court in order to win. He was very professional and prepared, and clearly knows his stuff. I highly recommend him!

Mark was my attorney in my recent separation and divorce. What impressed me more than anything about him was not only his exceptional legal knowledge but his ability to advise dispassionately showing you upside and downside of the situation. Moreover, he helped me to leave the emotions out of the decision-making process and was always well-prepared, thorough and professional. Mark is indeed a one of a kind, family lawyer and I would highly recommend him.

Mark Brent handled my separation and divorce with courtesy and professionalism. He advocated for me in every way throughout the process, always had my best interests in mind, and was available whenever needed to answer any questions I had, no matter how big or small. He provided a very satisfactory outcome to a complicated situation. I have recommended him and his firm many times without hesitation, and have returned myself as the need arose.

After 20 yrs. of marriage, I was positive it was time to divorce. Although I consider myself a strong woman, this was one of the most emotional things I have ever gone through. It was exceptionally hard because I had to consider what was best for our child. Not only did Mr. Brent help me and advise me of all my options, I could tell he actually cared. He treated me like a person with feelings and not just a client. The words that come to mind when I think of Mr. Brent are compassionate, caring, knowledgeable, professional, and an overall wonderful attorney. I was more than satisfied with Mr.Brent and highly recommend him to anyone in need of a lawyer.

Mr. Mark Brent is an award-winning attorney and author of Divorce Proceedings in Illinois. His awards adorn the office walls of the Drendel & Jansons Law Group, but only begin to speak for who he is as an attorney. To say he is outstanding is not sufficient. My 29-year marriage was shattered with my husband's arrest and a protective order. Six months post-arrest, he removed all marital funds from our bank accounts and ceased paying our marital bills. I called Mr. Brent to end my marriage. My case included a home foreclosure, personal property division, temporary maintenance, interstate move, bankruptcy and two children that needed to continue their college educations. Mr. Brent lead me through every step with his controlled and knowledgeable expertise. Mark is straight-forward honest, cost-conscious and efficient. You can count on his timely responses and patient listening to solve problems. He knows the law and his job. If you are thinking of divorce, purchase his book. If you need a family law attorney, he should be your first call. Mr. Brent will only tell you what you should hear and never mislead you with what you want to hear. Listen to him, trust him to do his job and you will move forward to a new life. My children and I are in a better place today because God blessed us with Mr. Mark Brent.
