About Merel Family Law

At Merel Family Law, we specialize in providing legal services to our clients in all aspects of Chicago divorce and family law. What we do is only half of what sets us apart from other divorce firms in the Chicagoland area, though. How we do what we do is just as important.

When someone comes to our firm, we know that they are at a crossroads in their life. They want guidance to find the path that is best for them. We show them the way with confidence and compassion. We take great pride in affording people the attention that they deserve and obtaining the results that they expect from a giant law firm while also maintaining a personal touch that helps put their worries at ease.

Our attorneys are recognized experts and leaders in the field of family law, having been featured in Sheridan Road magazine, WGN, MSN, the Today Show, Crane’s Chicago, The Wall Street Journal, Hinsdale Living, and Hour Detroit Magazine.

Attorney Jonathan Merel founded Merel Family Law in 2009 because he refused to practice family law “the way it’s always been done.” From day one, he’s challenged large firm stereotypes by bringing together what matters most: professionalism, authenticity, and thoughtful strategy tailored to each client.
