About

I started my own practice after thirteen years of practicing with one of the largest law firms in Chicago.  While there, I represented clients in complex cases proving myself as a trial lawyer and making sure that the end result of each case met the clients' needs and interests.  My practice is no different.  I believe that my clients' needs have to be met in each and every case.  All of the areas of our practice involve complex emotional times for you and your family.  The law can seem very intimidating.  My job is to alleviate those stresses and be on your side during this difficult and complex time in your life.

We are grateful to find the help we needed with Blacha Family Law. They did not just win our case but they guided us through every step in the process of our adoption. They were very informative and professional. Thank you Blacha Family Law for your services. We are very pleased with the results.

Choosing Blacha Law for my child custody case was the best decision. Working with Erika Eassa and Mary Kay McCann, I knew my case was in good hands. They helped with everything that I needed done, and walked me through everything that I was unsure of. They were always responsive and made this process a lot less stressful. I would highly recommend working with both Erika and Mary Kay.

We worked with Elizabeth Youakim and her team and they were wonderful! It made the process of getting a child support modification to a fair and accurate number worth hiring a lawyer. I thought it would be a challenge at first (not only with COVID restrictions but also with having to do this from a different state) but responsiveness, professionalism and efficiency are words that come to mind for our experience. Highly recommend.

I had very good experience working with the Blacha group. My child custody case was first with Hannah and when she left Blacha law office Monika had taken up my case. My case initially looked very easy. My children had lived with me in California for 5 years and my ex wanted to move them back to Illinois. The case turned out to be complicated, as it was always with my ex. It involved multiple inter-state and international documents and a trial on Zoom. But we prevailed in the end, after litigating for 2 years. Monika was very good inside and outside the court. She is compassionate and easy to work with. I would wholeheartedly recommend her.

The legal team at Blacha Law is simply outstanding. Their experience, knowledge, and support was not only crucial for the successful resolution of my divorce, it also helped to put my mind at ease throughout the process. Most importantly for me, at no point in time did I ever feel unaware or uneducated on case proceedings, which is testament to the level of attentiveness and professionalism provided by Monika, Elizabeth, Donna Jo, and team. Thank you all VERY much for your support, honesty, attention to detail, and excellent representation!

I would highly recommend Erin O'Connell and the Blacha Law Firm. Erin provided expert legal advice while I was navigating a challenging divorce. I was very impressed by Erin's knowledge of complex legal divorce law and took great comfort knowing she was my attorney during what could be at times acrimonious court hearings. Erin will tell it to you straight and provide excellent counsel . She supported me on issues that I needed to stand my ground on and provided guidance on ones that were not worth the emotional and financial investment. I was very fortunate to have her as my attorney.

Erin was amazing to work with and I really appreciated how fast the team was to respond. I also was impressed that even though my case was a small case, there was a team that consisted of my main attorney, an associate attorney, and a paralegal. This made it so there was always someone available to answer any questions if Erin was not available. I highly recommend this firm!
