Family Law
- Are you considering divorce?
- Has your spouse filed divorce papers?
- Do you want to change the custody arrangements in your divorce decree?
- Is your ex behind on child support payments?
- Are you engaged to be married and considering a prenuptial agreement?
- Are you an unmarried couple planning to buy a house or have a child?
Watson Law provides professional, efficient assistance with all types of family law matters. We have substantial experience with both contested and uncontested divorce proceedings and a long track record of success using every legal tool available to help our clients collect unpaid child support. A significant portion of our practice involves drafting legal agreements for unmarried couples to specify rights and responsibilities regarding home purchases, child rearing, financial support and other matters that are just as serious for unmarried couples as they are for those who are legally married.
Employment Law
Ninety percent of our employment law practice is advocating on behalf of employees. Many of our clients are state government employees who need assistance with complaints to the state Civil Service Commission, and we also assist employees of private companies and state employees in claims involving:
- Wrongful termination
- Discrimination or harassment
- The Family and Medical Leave Act
- Unpaid wages and overtime
- Misclassification as an independent contractor
Watson Law also has a small, selective practice guiding Illinois employers through employment law matters. We have gained the respect of our employer clients who need to write employee manuals, policies and procedures that comply with both the letter and the spirit of all applicable employment laws.
Personal Injury
If you've been injured in an accident on public or private property, Watson Law may be able to help you get proper and just compensation for your injuries. We have a small personal injury practice that focuses on premises liability cases, particularly slip and fall accidents. We offer a free consultation for potential personal injury clients.
