Illinois Family Law and Criminal Defense Attorney Charles E. Rapin
Family Law
Family law disputes are often painful and difficult. When emotions run high, people can make bad decisions that will affect them for years to come. I am Charles E. Rapin, Attorney at Law. I have more than 20 years of experience practicing law. I represent clients in Illinois and Wisconsin in family law matters. Contact my office today to schedule a free initial consultation with an experienced family law attorney.
I assist clients in a wide range of family law cases, including:
- Divorce
- Child custody
- Child support
- Enforcement actions
- Post decree modifications
- Paternity
- Prenuptial agreements
- Adoption
- Juvenile cases - termination of parental rights, DCFS cases, parents rights
Often, the best way to resolve these issues is through mediation and negotiation. Even when the parties are angry with one another, it is important to remember that the courts do not know what is important to you and your children. I strive to help my clients reach amicable solutions. I have been a licensed arbitrator in Illinois for 20 years.
When it is not possible to reach a positive solution through negotiation, I use my extensive litigation experience to represent my clients in court. I am a former assistant state's attorney in Lake County. However the case progresses, I am careful to protect my clients' pocketbooks as well as their rights. The expense of legal matters can be substantial. It is vital to choose a lawyer who will help you limit your costs while still protecting your rights.
In addition to family law issues, I handle criminal defense cases. My experience as a former assistant state's attorney in Lake County provided me with experience in several different criminal law matters. I have handled cases involving DUI and traffic offenses, as well as other felony and misdemeanor charges. If you have been charged with a crime and need an experienced criminal defense attorney, please contact my office to schedule a free initial consultation. We accept Visa and MasterCard.
