Mark Simons Law Offices

Divorce
While we’re probably best known for our work in divorce and family law, satisfied clients call on us again and again to resolve a wide variety of legal problems. To learn how you can benefit from our experience and versatility, contact an Illinois attorney at Shaw Law Ltd. for a free in-office consultation.
Child Support
At Shaw Law Ltd., our experienced Waukegan paternity attorneys provide skilled and high-quality family law representation to people throughout Lake County, McHenry County and Northern Cook County, north of the Loop. If you need advice about paternity tests and child support, please contact us for a free in-office consultation.
Child Custody and Visitation
At Shaw Law Ltd., our lawyers offer practical and insightful counsel on a wide range of family law problems in Lake County, McHenry County and Northern Cook County, north of the Loop. If you need advice about divorce, child custody or a domestic violence order of protection, contact us for a free in-office consultation.
Adoption
Paternity
We do stress to our clients that the administrative agency handling child support can be very overwhelming. We are here to help you deal with this and will explain all your legal options. Remember, if you are legally required to pay child support, you can be criminally charged if you fail to do so. Take action now and discuss your paternity matters with Shaw Law Ltd.
Premarital Agreement
These are the basics that need to be addressed in any divorce case involving minor children. Cases can be simpler or more complicated depending on any number of factors: high value pension or investment assets, one or both spouses are self-employed or members of a professional partnership, current military service on the part of one or both spouses, the terms of a prenuptial agreement, recent problems with domestic violence or orders of protection or recent bankruptcy.
Guardianship
Our attorneys can help you draft or revise a will, explain how different trust instruments work to achieve particular family objectives, or prepare powers of attorney that can help avoid the need for guardianship in the event of a disabling medical emergency. For the advice of an experienced Waukegan estate planning attorney, contact Shaw Law Ltd. for a free in-office consultation about your goals, concerns and legal options.
Spousal Support
Spousal maintenance is the technical legal term for alimony, or payments from one spouse to the other in divorce. Nevertheless you can’t assume that one divorcing spouse will need to make any payments at all to the other. The court will examine numerous factors such as the length of marriage, work history, work abilities, level of education and skills.
Legal Separation
The divorce attorneys of Shaw Law Ltd. also serve the needs of clients who want to pursue such alternatives as uncontested divorce, legal separation, or for unmarried people untangling the financial affairs that grow intertwined after a long period of cohabitation.

Criminal Defense
The attorneys of Shaw Law Ltd. practice in the real world, and we know that not every case we handle will feature “squeaky-clean” clients who have nothing to explain or regret. This is just as true in our family law practice as it is in our criminal defense work.
DUI/DWI
The best approach to take on an Illinois drunk driving charge depends on many factors, including just where you were arrested. We’ll review the facts of your case to see whether we can challenge the traffic stop or the arrest. Our attorneys can also review the results of a blood or breath test to see if there’s a chance to attack the evidence of intoxication.
Wrongful Death
Traffic Violations
Sex Crimes
People charged with sex crimes can face special challenges, including the risk of long-term sex offender registration obligations or even commitment as a sexually dangerous person after completion of a sentence.
Robbery
Burglary
White Collar Crimes
Theft
Misdemeanors
When the evidence against you is likely to stand up to a challenge, we’ll look for ways to protect you from the worst consequences of a conviction. There are usually good options for negotiating a plea on favorable terms, such as reducing a felony charge to a misdemeanor, or amending a “nonsupervisionable” charge to one that allows for supervision, which won’t appear on your record. Our goal is to keep you eligible for expungement or sealed records.
Embezzlement
Drug Crimes
Our first goal in drug crime defense is to beat the charges through dismissal. If we can convince the prosecution that it can’t prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt, it will probably choose not to pursue the charges. In many situations, we can explore the possibility of a suppression motion, which aims to show that the evidence against you in the form of drugs or cash was unlawfully discovered and seized.
Assault
Identity Theft
Homicide
Restraining Order

Business and Corporate Law

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
As a full-service law firm ready to meet any family’s legal needs, Shaw Law Ltd. in Waukegan offers dependable advice and efficient service on estate planning issues.
Wills
Shaw Law Ltd. also advises the administrators appointed in decedent’s estates when there is no last will and testament to guide the distribution of assets, or intestacy cases. The process of administering the estate is very similar to that applied when a will is available for probate, but the rights of heirs are defined by state law instead of the decedent’s written intentions.
Trusts
The trusts and estates attorneys at Shaw Law Ltd. help people through all stages of the estate administration process: probate of the will, inventory of assets, handling claims, filing reports and distributing assets. We represent local and out-of-state personal representatives in Illinois probate matters, including the administration of estates without a will. For a free in-office consultation about the main issues in your situation, contact a Lake County probate attorney at Shaw Law Ltd.
Power of Attorney
A basic estate plan will consist of a last will and testament, financial and medical powers of attorney, and an advance directive to health care providers. Together, these instruments will help assure the orderly transfer of assets between generations and protect your interests if an accident or illness renders you incapable of managing your own affairs.
Probate

Bankruptcy
If you are not eligible for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, or if your financial situation presents certain special problems like high levels of nondischargeable debt, relief under Chapter 13 might represent your best option. To learn how Chapter 13 can work for you, contact a Waukegan bankruptcy attorney at Shaw Law Ltd. for a free in-office consultation.
Foreclosure
Essentially, Chapter 13 allows you to save your house and get caught up on missed payments that led you to foreclosure. Even if you are not yet facing foreclosure and have started missing monthly payments, you can still act now and prevent further financial distress. When the “automatic stay” is placed on foreclosure, you are given time to create a three to five-year repayment plan. Unsecured debt is placed into one monthly payment plan. A plan must be filed with the bankruptcy court within 15 days. The advantage of a Chapter 13 repayment plan is that unsecured debt can be reduced. However, if you default on a payment after this, the “automatic stay” may be lifted and your house can become subject to foreclosure again.
Tax Law
The property division lawyers of Shaw Law Ltd. serve the needs of a diverse clientele across the spectrum of problems concerning the just distribution of marital assets and liabilities. Our family law experience and our familiarity with real estate, tax law, estate planning and bankruptcy allow us to work toward comprehensive protection of your financial interests in divorce. We’re convenient for clients in Lake County, McHenry County and northern Cook County.
