Sharon L. Falen

Sharon understands and cares about the you in the process as well as your outcome, not just the end of the game. A child of divorce herself, Sharon is familiar with the impact of divorce and its attendant issues on a family, both short-term and long-term.  She focuses her advocacy on conflict resolution and puts you first every step of the way.  Sharon has committed herself to advocacy in family law since the inception of her professional career. Having lived in Illinois her whole life and being raised by a social worker and an accountant, a career in family law came naturally.  Sharon earned her legal degree at Loyola Chicago School of Law with a Certificate in Child and Family Law.  She brings to the table a unique background in child welfare law, school law, and matrimonial law, before she zeroed in on the parenting concerns and financial complexities associated with all divorce and parentage cases.

Don’t mistake Sharon for taking a soft approach on hard problems, though. Sharon is ready to litigate if this path is in her client’s best interest. She is not afraid of a challenge. When not in the courtroom, Sharon regularly practices “leave no trace” camping, whether it be in the rugged mountains or elsewhere in the wilderness. She also enjoys traveling and spending time with her family and friends.
