About Bradley R. Kaye

Bradley R. Kaye is a divorce and family law attorney who knows how to win. His clients rave about his preparation and support, and he takes pride in giving them confidence in and out of the courtroom – whether it’s with a professional athlete, stay-at-home parent, music industry manager, disenfranchised spouse or high-profile executive.

Brad has built a solid reputation throughout all of Chicagoland and the surrounding areas for his tenacious representation and high-quality legal strategy. He demonstrates confidence, instills it in others and backs it up with results. He has been called a “tireless advocate” and is known to be “straightforward and honest” about the expectations of the often-uncertain court system.

Starting in 2019 – and every year since – Brad has been recognized by his peers in the legal community as a Super Lawyer’s Rising Star, a distinction only awarded to 2.5 % of attorneys practicing nationwide. Brad also maintains a perfect 10.0 on Avvo, the premier client review portal for lawyers.

Brad is also passionate about animal rights and volunteering with Chicago Volunteer Legal Services.
