Family law · Two partners · Chicago
Calder & Voss is a two-partner practice handling divorce, custody and estate planning for families across Chicago. You speak with a partner at the first meeting and at every one after it. No associates you have never met, no invoices you cannot read.
Index · Four disciplines
Negotiated settlements first, litigation only where it is genuinely warranted. Property division, maintenance, valuation of a closely held business.
Cook, DuPage & Lake County
Mediation-first. We draft parenting plans that survive real schedules, and we appear in court when agreement is out of reach.
Certified mediator on staff
Wills, revocable trusts, powers of attorney and healthcare directives, written in plain language and revisited every three years.
Flat fee, two meetings
Full disclosure, unambiguous terms, and enough lead time before the wedding that the agreement holds up years later.
