About Us
Our Law Firm
Stacy Freeman has been a family law attorney for almost 20 years working for prominent law firms around the Chicagoland area where she learned the art of litigating cases involving high net-worth divorces and issues that arise with more complicated marital estates involving business interests, restricted stock options, and similar assets. She has also handled a number of uncontested cases, disputes over custody and visitation (now known as allocation of significant decision making and parenting time), orders of protection and restraining orders, pre and post-nuptial agreements, paternity matters, and uncontested adoptions.
After the birth of her son in 2021, Stacy founded Freeman Family Law & Mediation, LLC. Although she continues to litigate family law matters, she has a passion for mediation and helping families find creative approaches to the conflicts that arise during a divorce.
Stacy continues to learn new methods to assist families through difficult transitions and plans to expand her practice into collaborative law by the end of the calendar year.
