Firm Overview


Family Law Attorneys

After working for a large Chicago family law firm, Richard D. Doermer established his own law practice in 1989. His goal was to offer clients the same high level of legal counsel they would receive in a large law office, but with superior responsiveness, personal service, and attention — and at less cost.

Richard Doermer was later joined in the practice by Attorney John A. Kay, who had also practiced in a large family law firm.

Together we offer clients exceptional legal knowledge, creative legal solutions tailored specifically to their concerns, and a commitment to personal service. At Richard D. Doermer, Ltd., you will never be just another case. You will become a partner in the resolution of your legal issues. We fully explain the law, the steps in the legal process, and your options. Then you decide which approach is right for you and your family.

We understand the nuances of divorce and family litigation and work to reach your goals with efficiency. We provide experienced legal counsel regarding the intersection of family law with tax law, real estate law, and business law. We also understand the emotional impact of divorce on our clients and their children and provide compassion and support during turbulent times.

While we are compassionate with clients, we are aggressive in the pursuit of your best interest. You will not find a stronger legal representative. In negotiation and family litigation, we are dynamic and persuasive lawyers who have an impressive track record of success.
