About Marcia
Marcia S. Lipkin is a solo practitioner concentrating
in domestic relations since 1985.
Hello, I’m Marcia Lipkin.
Family Law Attorney
From growing up on a farm in downstate Illinois to living and practicing law in Chicago, I learned the importance of hard work, preparation and honesty.
Over 25 years of concentrating in family law has provided me with experience in all areas–divorce, legal separation, declaration of invalidity (annulment), adoption, child custody and visitation, child and spouse support, college contribution, marital and non-marital property valuation and division, attorneys fees as well as enforcement and modification of existing judgments.
I understand the fear and anxiety that those faced with a family law matter often feel. I will work to explain processes and options in order to help her clients understand what is happening and participate in making decisions in matters that will affect them immediately and into the future.
I have experience in all aspects of family law: divorce, property valuation and division, support, custody, paternity, adoption, pre-and post-nuptial agreements, college expenses and enforcement. I’ve handled cases from intake to final agreement/trial and judgment.
