Matthew A. Kirsh was named one of the Top 100 Lawyers in the State of Illinois for 2019 and 2022 by Super Lawyers.* This recognition demonstrates the respect given to him by his fellow lawyers. While Matt is an experienced trial lawyer, a lawyer must possess many other qualities in order to be a successful family law attorney. A quality divorce lawyer must also be able to understand his clients' problems and to understand the emotional and human nature of the issues faced by people going through a divorce. At the same time, however, a good lawyer navigates the most direct path to a fair resolution of his client's case. Matt possesses a tremendous ability to be simultaneously understanding and effective.
