What our clients are saying

Laura Darby is amazing!! She helped me every step of the way in obtaining a 2-year protective order against an abusive person. I was unsure whether I should seek an order of protection, and Laura listened to me with compassion and explained things from a legal... standpoint that helped me make an informed decision. She was a zealous advocate for me and really knows the law. Her expertise and no-nonsense way of dealing with opposing counsel made this whole, ugly, and emotional process as calming and smooth as possible. Highest recommendation!read more

Ana Garduno was amazing to work with. I had been working with another firm that seriously dropped the ball. Ana was able to organize the mess that was my case and advocate for me. Thanks to her, my case was resolved equitably and quickly. I 100% recommend Ana and her... firm!read more

Mark B

I was in need of a good atrorney to help with my parenting agreement. I googled best family attorneys in chicago and found Anderson and Boback. I wanted a Partner and asked who the toughest girl on the team was who wasnt about to let anyone mess with her, and the... Office Assistant Olivia suggested Genevieve. I could not be happier with Genenvieve's professionalism. She was such a sweetheart, but knew her stuff! Be prepared for whatever timeline you imagine to be double that (what i have learned going through this, because a lot of the final word is with outside people, (the other parties attoneys, judge etc)). But I would absolutely recommend Genevieve to anyone in need of help with a family matter!read more

Megan E.

Anderson, Boback, & Marshall were great. Jessica Sindel and Jessica Marshall had the patience of saints when dealing with me through such a tough process. It felt like we shared a common goal and reached the expectation that I had in spite of the other side making some... very wild claims... I was able to overcome all of that with their help and at no point did I feel like they were billing me unnecessarily nor refusing to take steps to make meaningful progress like other firms I had to deal with.read more

Highly recommend this law firm. I went through 5 different attorneys before using Jessica Marshall. It is very difficult to find an attorney who is both efficient and good at what they do. Jessica is both. She is responsive to your communications and will complete... tasks quickly and competently. Attorneys are expensive, you don’t want to feel like your money is being wasted. I was very happy with the guidance and results she provided.read more

Keith R.

I worked with Jessica Marshall who helped edit a prenup for an upcoming wedding within a limited timeframe. She was very clear and communicative about not only the approximate timeline for completion but also her capacity given other cases, etc. Jessica was prompt,... knowledgable, worked well with my partner's lawyer, and advised me based on both the legal language as it was written and also its potential applications in real world scenarios which helped us understand how we might be affected by certain stipulations in everyday life. Very helpful and a pleasure to work with!read more

Ashleigh D.

Attorney Jessica Sindel came through for me in a major way when I desperately needed legal representation for a complicated child services case. Jessica took the time to thoroughly understand my case and expertly represented me through all legal filings, the formal... hearing, and follow-ups. Her communication was consistently clear and speedy. The invoicing was transparent and detailed. She was so easy to work with, which helped make my ordeal bearable. What's hard to quantify is the professional empathy that she demonstrated by taking extra steps to follow up with the court and taking ownership of my case to get me the results that I needed to get my life back.She would be the first person I contact if the need ever arise. I would highly recommend Jessica.read more

Marcos D.

Words cannot express the gratitude I have for Jessica Marshall and her team. As a father who was no longer present in the USA, I was facing a monumental task to get access to my daughter in the face of extreme hostility.Enter Jessica Marshall. She was a bastion of... calm in what was the most stressful period of my life. She fought hard for me and won, managing to secure me majority parenting time, majority decision making authority and permission to permanently relocate my daughter from Illinois to the UK.She made the impossible happen, and I’ll forever be in her debt.read more

Brendan B.

I’ve been working with Anderson and Boback since 2019 due to the unfortunate complexities of my case. It’s been exhausting and expensive but having this group of powerful attorneys has been pivotal in the success of my case. I’ve worked with two partners and two... associates, including the phenomenal Kim Anderson. My current attorney is Laura Darby and she has been impressive to say the least. Laura is attentive to detail and extremely prepared. She’s going to inform the client of all their options and provide her expertise. She is very knowledgeable concerning the law, policy and deadlines and will keep the client informed. She has the enthusiasm of a young attorney and the confidence of a veteran attorney. Her confidence is well deserved as she is a formidable opponent in the court room! If you’re going to pay for a service, let it be a good service, especially when it concerns the wellbeing of your family. I recommend Anderson & Boback and ask for Laura.read more

Audrey T.

Thanks to Jessica Marshal and Kim Anderson for a job well done with helping me navigate an incredibly complex divorce! I'm glad this is over and that Anderson & Boback played a role in it.

Michael K.

We never go into a marriage thinking I have a great divorce attorney if this doesn’t work out. However, Laura Darby is the attorney you want in your back pocket if you do have to go through a divorce! Laura is extremely knowledgeable, caring, and will advocate for her... clients. She will provide realistic, clear, and yet supportive guidance to her clients.I have been very lucky to call Laura my attorney and I know she always has my back during my divorce case. A divorce is not a pleasant experience but working with Laura has been a positive experience!read more

Kelly O.

This is one of my first online reviews, but I felt it necessary to let prospective clients know that when you go with Jessica Sindel from A&B, you’re getting the absolute best. Jess was hired for a simple adoption, which became contested thus bringing forth a barrage... of other issues and obstacles that were put in our path in an attempt to contest and disrupt the adoption process. Jess never flinched. Not only did she navigate the variety of complex legal issues that never seemed to stop with a contested adoption, but for over a year she worked tirelessly to achieve the result we wanted. A contested adoption, when researched, is one of the most arduous cases to win, and yet, Jess did. She won it with her knowledge, conviction, and dedication. It’s still hard to process, but the fact that she was able to achieve such a result for us speaks to the level of attorney she is. Jess is Atticus Finch meets Kim Wexler except, Jess is superior, because she’s actually real. You are bringing in elite company when you hire Jess and I can promise you will not be disappointed.read more

Jacob R.

My experience with Anderson & Boback was nothing short of professional, efficient and caring. My lawyer, Jessica Marshall, provided a strong sense of guidance, reassurance and a human touch during a very difficult and complicated legal process. Additionally, I felt... that she fully understood what was important to me and ensured our time and communication was used for what was best in the case. No fluff, no delays, very professional and amicable. I did not expect to walk through this tough season with the level of support I received legally and it made a world of difference. Highly recommend Jessica and her team.read more

Rob B.

I was very happy with my experience with Anderson & Boback. While no divorce is ever cheap or easy, I feel that my attorney, Laura, did everything as quickly, easily, and professionally as possible. I really appreciate their help and highly recommended them.

Kelly H.

Fierce! Results driven attorneys. Comparatively.. you will pay, but in the end, you get what you pay for.Would refer and hire again.

Gwendolyn T.

Jessica C. Marshall , partner at Anderson & Bobak is one of the best attorneys I had a pleasure to work with! I wish I had found her sooner in my divorce process. I had a post decree military pension issue and it was resolved quickly, efficiently and effectively. I... didn’t even have to go to court or interact with my ex- spouse. The billing was also very straightforward and honest. Highly recommended attorney!read more

Joanna K.

Jessica is a dedicated, intelligent and a skillful attorney. Her arguments are skillfully articulated. She helped me in getting my divorce finalized in 2018. She then helped in getting the past due child support from my X-spouse and then recently in getting the... maintenance alimony payments settled.It is not very common that a father gets the child custody but with her help, I was able to get custody my my 3 children. I have also had the pleasure of meeting with Janice. Both of them represented me during negotiations. Concise, to the point, friendly, articulate and great at explaining the legal Jargon.I would highly recommend their services.read more

Raza K.

If you want your divorce done in an effective and seamless manner, Jessica Marshall is the lawyer for the job! She is dedicated and agressive, offered sound council that put me at ease, and was just overall a perfect fit for me and my case. My divorce with an extremely... difficult ex was unbelievably frustrating, emotionally charged, and overwhelming to me. Jessica helped me to navigate through it all while making sure the results were achieved in a reasonable timeframe. Jessica is just overall fantastic and I higly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a phenomenal divorce attorney!read more

Rachel J.

Kim Anderson is an awesome attorney. She fights for the best interest of her client. I highly recommend hiring her because she is brilliant when it comes to the law and she keeps everything upfront and to the point.

Drucilla S.

I was really Lucky to get a referral to this firm. It's overwhelming when you have to go to court for anything and it's even more to find a lawyer that will represent you like you want.I am not married but we still fall under the same laws for custody orders and... might I mention not being married I feel like allowed the other parent to constantly have me in court. I feel like a Divorce decree would of stopped a lot of the silliness I endured with my child's father, I could be wrong.I was in court the first time with a ok lawyer from 2009-2014 it was exhausting. Later I felt the attorney I had then only wanted my money and literally stopped listening to me, so I was happy when I was out of court.In 2018 my child's father dragged me back in court and there I was again having to choose a attorney again and I felt like a new kid in school. So I picked poorly again, this attorney wanted me to agree with everything of the opposing attorney. It was insane and I felt I was in a car with someone with no breaks.Well I wasted a year with that attorney and I was felt like I was faced to give up but I was venting to my brother and well he knew a friend who went thru a divorce, this wonderful person shared a few names of offices to call. I got lucky!!! I called Anderson & Boback I spoke with Kim Anderson and I had a real conversation, I really like that it felt like I was talking to another real human being. I know that sounds strange but I can say I have a decent job I try to be a good adult and I understand problems a tad better but it means the world when you can relate with another real person!I look at needing a attorney like you need a new roof, you get a quality roof then the job will last you for years...This is how I see Anderson Boback and I feel like after having their firm represent me I don't see any leaks happening to my roof :)Kim referred Jessica Marshall and Jessica was great the opposing attorney and judge were a tad whacky, Jessica could soothe their troubled minds and for a brief moment they were normal and actually thought logically lol. I described talking to Jessica like talking to my best friend, I don't know all the lawyer jargon but she made it very easy to talk to and she let me know if I was thinking like a movie to much lol.I know I have written a lot and I hope I don't have too many grammatical errors but what I'm trying to say is "third time around really is a charm", this firm was my third encounter with custody lawyers and by far they are the best. I will always refer your firm like I work their lol but really I am truly grateful for the quality of work you administer.It's scary enough going to court not to mention when the love of your life turns into a troll and your faced with judge dredd when you can see your child, all I can say is choose Anderson and Bobak to keep you safe! :)read more

Christine T.

I had to go back to court again after 5 years of divorce. Jessica Sindel took care of my case. Very honest, patient, always able to explain everything in the case with great knowledge! I am glad it’s over now and will just file a petition to have my lawyer’s fee back... to me.read more

J C.

I am not sure there are enough words to express my full heartfelt appreciation for Jessica Sindel at Anderson & Boback. Our case was far from a traditional custody dispute and the complications were not only endless but dealt with many layers of discrimination and... safety concerns. After many years of attempting my case pro se and with various attorneys that were not able to handle the uniqueness of our situations I was lead to Anderson & Boback in desperation for help and feeling defeated by the legal system.I will say our journey with their firm was not cheap but worth every single penny. Jessica Sindel was not only an incredible litigator for us but also a true advocate who made sure to be affirming to our family with diverse needs, including transgender individuals, a deaf parent and severe medical complications, and continued to fight tirelessly for the safety of my children. Even when everything seemed to be working against us, she went above and beyond her role to be an incredible support to me while also making sure I always knew the possible outcomes of each situation. I always felt informed and supported no matter how hard the situation and she was an incredible listener even in times I was an emotional mess full of fears and what ifs. I was prepared to spend another 10 years in this litigation but I’m so happy that in the end, not only was she able to help us get rights terminated from a problematic and dangerous parent, but continued with us to complete the second parent adoption so that our family is whole and complete.There is no one in the world I would have rather been able to be with us when the adoption was finalized. If you have any worries about hiring Jessica Sindel as your attorney I will leave you with this. She is more than just a great family law attorney but her diligence and perseverance will provide you with the true sense of safety and validation every step of the way. Our family will forever be grateful and refer her to anyone in need of support for their divorce, custody issues or adoption needs.Thank you Jessica Sindel and the entire team at Boback & Anderson.read more

Dee M.

I have been working with Kim Anderson and the firm of Anderson & Boback for my legal needs surrounding a breakdown in the life of my family and me.I spoke with the senior partner Jen Spence a year ago for an hour. I needed knowledge to balance out the fear that was... consuming me. I received an open ear listening and acknowledging my mental emotional intellectual state. At that time there were no legal points or recommendations to be given. It was a caring dialogue, and a endeavor of understanding, helping me gain a sense of where I was.The entire team that I work with now, after meeting Kim a year later is exceptional. I came to the understanding from the prior helpful conversation that I needed active representation. What has become a very important and wonderful realization is that Kim, Rachel, Olivia, all of the other members communicate so well in supporting each other that they are really seamless. The also work to support me and my spouse and children all. I am their client and they are a team for me and my family together. They actively listen exchange well with each other abide by what I want, unless it goes against my best interest, and they have put their foot down when I have adamantly wanted to make a choice in their experience was not, you're my best interest. Kim and her entire team take care.The financial aspect of this is important also, and they have handled it with absolute decency. They work with me to minimize the hurtful financial impact of what is going on. They help me to Garner resources in the right direction as I'm burning through them.I can't say they are the right firm for everyone. I can say that I unequivocally could not in any way shape or form have chosen a better team to bring on board, and help me navigate something with respect and love. Something impossible to do without the caring assistance of this group.read more

Mark M

I had a highly contentious and difficult international relocation case. Kim Anderson won the case. Relocation cases are extremely difficult, particularly international relocation cases. This is the only lawyer in Chicago you will want to talk to on this. I read some of... her articles online and consulted with her and I was glad I did. Nobody else could have done what she did. She fought hard against various delays, twists and turns. She is ethical and fights back hard against anyone who is not! She stands up to abuse of power and using the legal system to bully her clients. I felt safe and taken care of within the legal system for the first time within my case. If you want someone who will fight for you then this is the person for you. She has the experience, the expertise and the fighting spirit that you need. She is also straight up and to the point and very easy to relate to and work with. She is responsive and you get the sense she cares about her clients. The team around her are fantastic too and seem to work day and night. International relocations can be won-don't waste your time and money on anyone else-call Kim Anderson and her success.read more

K M.

We could not have been happier with the services provided by Anderson and Boback. If it were not for there experience in the type of case my family was involved in, I am convinced the outcome would not have been a positive one for us. Janice knew exactly how to respond... and to what we were entitled to do, bring and discuss during the phone sessions. I am sure it is a lot harder to have cases decided without in person conversations, but that is a reality of today's world. They knew exactly how to handle the situation.Hopefully never would we have to, but would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them in the specialty line of work they are expert in.read more

Antonio R.

prior to finding and retaining Anderson & Boback, i had two previous lawyers. both of my prior attornies let the process drag on, and would not challenge opposing counsel. several issues surfaced during this time and my prior attornies were unwilling or unable to... address them.After an initial meeting with Kim Anderson, I did not hesitate to hire her as my now 3rd lawyer. Kim and Genevieve Binnie quickly familiarized themselves with the case. Kim and Genevieve are knowledgable, professional, and very confident. Kim and Genevieve gave me the impression that i was their only client. I was never told that they were too busy or had other important meetings to address my concerns, as my previous lawyers often did. just recently my case went to trial. although the judge has not made a ruling yet, i am confident in a favorable outcome for the case that Kim and Genevieve put on. i cannot thank them enough for their hard work. Both Kim and Genevieve are skilled, and excellent attornies. I highly recommend Anderson & Boback!read more

From the moment she took on my case, she was determined to help me achieve my desired outcome (of course in the best interest of my son).Jessica worked diligently on my... case and showed compassion through out the year long custody battle.

Kim showed professionalisms, integrity & most importantly for me, heart. She diligently fought for almost 4 years to... make sure I had a positive outcome. Kim is not afraid to take on a challenge & give it all she’s got for her clients. I don’t know where my family would be today if not for Kim Anderson.read more

While looking to switch to a female attorney for a very contentious separation involving a child with an exe, I came across the law firm of Anderson & Boback. They were very prompt with the call-back response to my inquiry and connected me with Janice right away.... Janice took a substantial amount of time to speak with me, to better understand the complexities in my case, and she offered great insight.I found this firm to very compassionate and understanding in how to navigate the legal system in this matter and also in their understanding of the sort of individual I unfortunately have to deal with and the associated legal games separating parents may face.I would have absolutely sought Anderson & Boback’s council but there was a conflict and with my case already advanced, I chose another female attorney. Based on my initial experience, I would definitely recommend this firm!read more

You get what you pay for... !After firing our first attorney because quite frankly he was in over his head with our case we hired Jessica Marshall from Anderson and Boback.Jessica was responsive, attentive, has a hyper attention to detail and of course, knows the... laws relating to the litigation of custody, child support, and parenting time inside and out. At no point did we feel Jessica was not ontop of our case and ready to see our case all the way through to a trial. She managed expectations. Under promised, over delivered!No trail, an agreement in place with the parenting time we wanted and a manageable child support order was the end result of a bitter child support and parenting time case.Hopefully we will not have to utilize Jessica’s services again but in the event that we need to, we have full confidence in her abilities. She did an outstanding job for us. Cannot say enough about how pleased we are as a result of Jessica’s services. Highly recommend!read more

I could not be more impressed or appreciative for this firm's work.

Kim Anderson is a fantastic attorney. I was very stressed and scared over possible outcome of my case. Kim successfully defended me and helped me move forward with my life. I can't honestly thank her enough.

Jason G.

I was in an existing parentage case that had been drawn out for about a year and a half with little being done, before I decided to switch firms to Anderson & Boback. Kim Anderson reached out to me immediately upon my inquiry and it was very clear to me that she was... interested in what I had to say, and genuine in her responses to my questions. In taking on my case, she showed strong support for the outcome I wanted, gave very reasonable advice to help me get there, and brought experience to the table to guide me in my own decision making. She kept things moving, and so within only a few months of bringing her on, we were able to wrap up the case with a great outcome. Couldn't be more pleased. Thank you so much Kim!read more

Suzanne P.

Absolutely wonderful, are just some of the adjectives I can use to describe the wonderful women at Anderson and Boback. Kimberly Anderson is a tough hard-nosed lawyer who knows what she's doing and the direction she wants to go when it comes to fighting for her client.... Since the day I contacted this firm because of the deteriorating circumstances involving my ex-wife, she listened to me and gave sound advice. When it came time to fight in the courtroom, she was more than ready and communicative throughout the entire process with the first emergency order, which we won. This happened on two more occasions before our day in court and she still fought hard winning each time. The communication was excellent as she explained the possible outcomes and worst case scenarios before each case. I couldn't have come into contact with a better lawyer. Kim is outstanding and she stays abreast of current changes occurring within our legal system. In instances when Kim personally couldn't be there, Jessica Marshall stepped in her place and did a wonderful job. Our last victory was culminated with Kim still giving her all to fight for me, when she was dealing with her own health issue; that honestly meant a lot to me because she was not only displaying her passion to fight for her client but her dedication to obtaining best possible solution for a father who was being denied his parental rights. All I can say is, if you're contemplating on hiring these wonderful women at Anderson and Boback, DO IT! You will not regret your decision because they will fight for you and they are just wonderful from the paralegals, to the lawyers, and partners they're TOP NOTCH! Not only in the state of Illinois but I'd put them against any lawyer nationally.read more

She always answers your calls or emails and if you don’t understand... something she is more than willing to explain it . She also won’t sugar coat things and has your best interest in mind. I will recommend her to anyone that needs a divorce lawyer. Also the people who work with her are friendly and always willing to help in any way they can.read more

Jan Boback represented me in a domestic order of protection case. Her expertise and performance in court was nothing but stellar! She knew every aspect of the law related to this issue and very clearly communicated the conforming facts of the case to the judge. The... judge, even though they have full discretion, could not argue with Jan's facts, how they conformed and her very calm presentation. She read the judge's body language which has a big factor in court when you are dealing with a judge you've never been before in the past.Jan is nothing but outstanding at her job.I've referred her to others and will continue to do so.Deanread more

Kim Anderson has a knack for staying 1-step ahead of me and my thought process. This is extremely helpful in those moments when I am stressed on legalities and not quite thinking straight. Kim also capably breaks the legal speak into everyday terms that I can... understand. Kim is an excellent attorney who is prompt, diligent and professional. The team at Anderson & Boback was invaluable in guiding me through my divorce as well as resettlement issues that I initiated after the divorce. Thanks for all your help Kim!read more

Jessica Marshall was amazing! My divorce should have been an easy process, since we didn't have any children or assets; however the opposing party was adamant on making it complicated. Jessica not only kept me informed of everything that was happening but advised me on... the best course of action to get divorced within a reasonable time-frame and without it costing me everything I owned. I couldn't thank her enough once it was all over. I can now move on with my life and it's because of her.read more

Jessica is Amazing! She is kind, thoughtful, detailed oriented. She is quick in responding. She is knowledgeable. She fought for me in court and not afraid to speak up for her client. She has this confidence in return I feel confidence. She gives me good advices and... helping me to make right decisions. I am so very grateful she is my attorney.read more

Jessica Marshall sat with me and supported me from the moment of our first consult to the final court appearance. No question went unanswered, no call/email left unreturned, and no doubt that she was on my side and ready to work. Jessica handled my case with confidence... and empathy, which I greatly appreciate given court can, often times, feel overwhelming. Cost was worth every penny and I know that every dollar was earned. I am grateful that the outcome was in my daughter’s favor and that she is now safe. My daughter will be forever thankful for finally having her voice heard in court, as Jessica suggested, through a child rep. I also want to acknowledge Gianna Carabez, Jessica’s paralegal, for always being kind and available to take my calls.read more

After visiting with two other law firms, I selected Anderson & Boback. They are professional! The former office was bright and pleasant. The receptionists are professional. The attorney I was assigned listened to my story and then prepared a course of action. I am... glad I chose Anderson & Boback to handle my divorce case. I highly recommend them!read more

Kim came as a referral from a great friend of mine. This wasn't an easy process to go through, but Kim gave me great guidance and help along the way. Wouldn't have gotten the outcome I wanted without her and her team.

In April of 2016, I had an urgent need for a family attorney to help me litigate some critical issues unresolved from my divorce decree ordered by the cook county family court in 2011. I interviewed 3 attorneys and ended up picking the last one I felt was the best out... of the three. What a mistake I made after two months of litigation and more than $10,000 legal fees. In July, I interviewed two more attorneys and I selected attorney Anderson to replace the previous attorney. What a switch I made! All the critical issues were litigated and resolved to my complete satisfaction. Attorney Andersen has a very simple way of serving her client: she will listen to my story and ask what legal outcome I am expecting to get, and she will recommend a course of action and get me the result in the most cost effective manner. In short, when you give your problems to attorney Anderson for solutions, you can go home and sleep well.read more

Kim handled both of our adoptions for us and made the process so easy. When you’re overwhelmed with all of the legal details it’s so nice knowing you’ve got someone who will attend to them so you can focus on other things. Very professional and highly recommended!

Jessica C. Marshall , partner at Anderson & Bobak is one of the best attorneys I had a pleasure to work with! I wish I had found her sooner in my divorce process. I had a post decree military pension issue and it was resolved quickly, efficiently and effectively. I didn’t even have to go to court or interact with my ex- spouse. The billing was also very straightforward and honest. Highly recommended attorney!
