The Gitlin Law Firm’s main office is in Woodstock, Illinois, the county seat of McHenry County, Illinois. We are a preeminent divorce and family law, having published the leading book on Illinois divorce: Gitlin on Divorce: A Guide to Illinois Family Law. Woodstock was originally Centerville, Illinois–because it is the geographic center of McHenry County. The Gitlin Law Firm serves the following cities and villages in McHenry County: Crystal Lake, Harvard, Marengo, McHenry, and Woodstock. It includes Algonquin, Bull Valley, Cary, Hebron, Holiday Hills, Huntley, Johnsburg, Lake in the Hills, Lakewood, McCullom Lake, Oakwood Hills, Prairie Grove, Richmond, Ringwood, Spring Grove, Trout Valley, Union and Wonder Lake.
The Gitlin Law firm limits its practice on family law issues. This means that we only handle divorce, custody (now called parenting time), alimony (maintenance), child support, business valuation in divorce cases, etc.
