About
Successful is the person who has lived well, laughed often and loved much, who has gained the respect of children, who leaves the world better than they found it, who looks for the best in everyone and gives the best of themselves. I believe in the law and have lived it my whole life. My family has been in the legal business for over fifty years. I grew up in this law office with my dad and brother and now we practice together. We are a general law firm. I am a negotiator until it's time to fight. I believe in my clients and truly want to help them. However, I tell it like it is. My love is custody and family law, but I practice all types of law. I have won many fathers their children and helped many women keep their children. I have also served as a litigation support witness wherein I was hired to render expert testimony concerning family law issues. I have also published an article in the Catalyst, November 2003, Vol. 9. No. 2 Illinois State Bar Association publication titled: Reflections of a downstate family lawyer’s experience with domestic violence and the law: Intentional infliction of a spouse’s emotional distress. I am a mediator and arbitration judgeI always believe that my clients should neogatate when ever possible; however, many times there comes a time when that is not possible and I am a fighter for justice.

Stephanie has been a godsend with the custody case we've been going through. She was able to get things rolling quickly. We now have the ability to regain the relationship with our child.
We used Stephanie on two occasions. Initially, we hired Stephanie Ames to do an adoption for my husband and I. As with many family cases, it can be an emotional roller coaster. Since this was our first adoption experience we had many concerns, questions, and fears. From the beginning we were given advice, straight forward,and most importantly correct information. Not only was she there for us as parents, she was an advocate for our daughter. We then utilized stephanie and her knowlege for navigating a child custody case. Child custody is an emotional time where all of your worst fears come to light. I can say with 100% confidence that she is VERY knowledgeable when it comes to the laws and process of family court! She cared about our case- which is a great quality in a lawyer. Through the entire process, Stephanie was always there any time we needed her.
Couldn't ask for a better attorney. Stephanie is amazing patient and can handle emotions. I would refer anyone to her well worth every dollar I spent. Definitely would use her again.
Exellent attorney! I/we have hired Stephanie Ames for multiple cases and would continue to hire her and or recommend her to anyone.
