Recognized as one of the premiere family
law firms in the country, Rinella and Rinella Ltd. is a leader in the field of divorce
litigation.
The oldest Family
Law Practice in Illinois
The law practice was founded by Rinella's
parents, Samuel and Kathryn Rinella, in 1932. Since then, the firm has had a range of
clients walk through their doors -- from captains of industry, television celebrities, and
sports stars to small-business owners, professionals, and homemakers.
Recognized as "The
Best Lawyers in America"
Our firm’s expertise and leadership
is reflected in the numerous awards our attorneys have received. These include citations
in "The Best Lawyers in America" by Naifeh and Smith and the
"Martindale-Hubbell Bar Register of Preeminent Lawyers". Our senior partner,
Bernard Rinella also received personal recognition from Town & Country Magazine, who
named him as one of America's top ten divorce lawyers in 1998. Bernard B. Rinella, Joseph
G. Phelps and Karen J. Bowes all have been named to the list of "Illinois Super
Lawyers" by their peers for 2004-2005.
Top quality service for
all clients
Our firm handles all kinds of cases and
provides top-quality service to all his clients. "There is no difference in the way
each case is handled," Bernard Rinella says, adding that the lower-profile cases have
the benefit of using a firm that has handled those high-profile decisions.
Our attorneys provide
expertise and leadership
Rinella and Rinella Ltd. offers experience
and a commitment to growth, adding staff members with tax, accounting, and business
expertise in order to accommodate the escalating complexity of financial issues in
family-law matters. Firm members are past and present officers in the family-law sections
of local Illinois and American Bar Associations and the American Academy of Matrimonial
Lawyers. The firm's attorneys also frequently write and lecture on matrimonial law issues
and Bernard Rinella is also a member of Divorce Magazine's Advisory Board.
We get the job done
"I believe we have experience not
only in years but in all varieties of family law. We have a reputation of getting the job
done without exacerbating the situation," explains Rinella.
The primary goal, he says, is to get the
best possible results with the least possible animosity between the involved parties. He
has seen many people collapse under the pressure of divorce, and because of this, he
believes part of his job is to lighten client's emotional burdens and help them rebuild
their lives.
"I believe it is our responsibility
to help people pull through this difficult time," he says. |
