About Our Firm

My office focuses on the representation of all issues to related Illinois Parentage Act and the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act. The Ray Law Office has experience and success second to none in the narrowly tailored technical issues of Illinois child support cases which involve the State of Illinois / Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services, formerly known as Public Aid as well as Illinois child support withholding penalties. Furthermore the Ray Law Office is one of a few which handle enforcement of existing child support orders and employer improper withholding penalties on a contingency fee basis.

My life experience as a child of divorce provides insight to issues and situations which can not be understood by reading an appellate court case or a book on father's rights, ( by the way there is no such thing as legal father's rights, it has been a financially successful advertising slogan though). One can not truly know the effects on a child when a parent fails to show up for visitation unless you have waited while looking out the window yourself.

My office is physically located in Rockford, Illinois though my experience and use of electronic forms of communication provide me with an ability to assist clients worlwide. Gone are the days where it is necessary in which a lawyer requires you to make an appointment at his or her office to sit down to review numerous documents with you on your time which in addition you are billed for. The law has been around many years and the legal aspects are constantly changing. The method of communication between a client and attorney should not ignore the use of email communication. Every voicemail a client leaves is sent directly to my email and to my client's electronic folder. This process allows me to respond to clients 24 hours a day and significantly reduces billing costs.
