About

I have been a licensed attorney and practicing attorney since 1995. Although I have practiced in Kane, DuPage and Cook counties, I currently limit my practice to McHenry County. I focus on issues affecting families and represent spouses, parents, children and disabled adults in divorce, post decree, paternity, adoption, juvenile, probate and guardianship matters. I am a trained Guardian ad Litem and Child’s Representative and appointed by the court in divorce or probate matters. I am also a trained Collaborative Attorney and mediator. Although I no longer accept court appointments for mediation, I use these skills in my roles as negotiator, advocate, representative for the children and collaborative law attorney. When I was ten years old, I decided that I wanted to be an attorney so that I could help people when they were in trouble. While working my way though college as an assistant for three attorneys, I decided that I wanted to focus in probate and family law. I felt that in these areas of law, people were at their most vulnerable and emotional, and they needed a caring professional to address their legal and non-legal needs. Unfortunately, one of the attorneys whom I worked for hated the issues that arise in these areas of law and subsequently ignored his clients and their needs. In my over 20 years experience, I have never forgotten how mistreated my former employer’s clients were and how I determined I was to help. Thus, I have consistently focused on client care in these areas and have continued my education in order to better serve my clients. By being a trained mediator, arbitrator, and collaborative attorney, I have learned dispute resolution alternatives that can help my clients to avoid unnecessary litigation. By being a trained Guardian ad Litem and Child’s Representative, I have learned to see things from the point of view of the children and how issues affect them. By being on the governing bodies of the county and state practice where I practice, (McHenry County Board of Governors and Illinois State Bar Association Assembly), I have also learned to carefully listen and thoughtfully explain matters, as well as to assess decisions using the short and long view.

I hired Rhonda to represent me for a follow-up divorce related matter. My prior experience with the original divorce attorney left me feeling that they were fine with the administrative aspects of the case, and pleasant to work with, but it mostly felt like I was working with a divorce "production house." With Rhonda, however, the contrast was striking. She showed a genuine human interest in my situation, helped me develop a strategy, and positively challenged my assumptions. I really felt that I had a partner. Moreover, she remembered the details from our previous conversations each time we spoke. I would highly recommend her.

Ms. Rosenthal handled my case expertly and with care. She answered all my questions and took care of everything for me. Whenever she could, she gave me the option to handle some of the paperwork myself so I could save money rather than her doing it for me. She listened to me and made sure I was taken care of during all steps of the process. She was responsive to my questions and I would use her again if it became necessary. Best experience ever with a lawyer.

Rhonda is a wonderful, caring attorney. She responds to client inquiries promptly. She takes the time to thoroughly explain things so you understand what will happen in court. She works hard to try to finalize your case quickly and fairly.
