> At Hurst, Kay, Allen & Stambler, LLC, we understand that family law matters are deeply personal and often overwhelming. Even when you are confident that divorce is the right step, uncertainty about what comes next is completely normal. When you work with our Chicago divorce attorneys, you gain a trusted partner who will guide you through every stage of the process. Your goals are our priority, and we are committed to helping you reach a resolution with clarity, compassion, and respect.

We Focus Exclusively on Family Law
Many law firms handle a wide range of practice areas. At Hurst, Kay, Allen & Stambler, LLC, we focus exclusively on family law. Our Chicago family law attorneys represent clients in divorce, child custody, parenting time, child support, maintenance, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, and post-decree matters. This exclusive focus gives us the in-depth legal knowledge, courtroom experience, and strategic insight needed to resolve even the most complex family law cases. We also maintain a strong network of financial experts, mental health professionals, and other trusted resources to support and strengthen your case.

Our attorneys are skilled negotiators.
Many of our divorce cases are resolved through mediation. This collaborative approach is cost-effective and offers couples more privacy while deciding how to end their marriage. Throughout negotiations, we keep your goals and wishes top of mind and build strong arguments to get the resolution you want. If we are not able to reach a fair agreement during mediation, our divorce attorneys are not afraid to take the fight to court. We will protect your rights and make sure that you get everything you are entitled to.

We Listen to You
During your initial consultation with our Illinois divorce lawyer, we will listen to you and take the time to fully understand your situation. Our attorney will begin strategizing potential paths forward, informing you of your rights, your options, and what outcomes you can expect. Unlike other law firms that focus on billing as many hours as possible, our family law team is committed to putting the interests of our clients first. We provide legal services in English, Polish, and Russian.

Decades of Experience in Family Law
Our team of family law attorneys brings more than 100 years of combined experience to every case. Hurst, Kay, Allen & Stambler, LLC is comprised of eight attorneys, each of whom has dedicated their practice exclusively to family law and domestic relations matters. This depth of experience allows us to draw from a wide range of perspectives while providing every client with individualized attention and strategic guidance. Whether you are pursuing a divorce, seeking a child custody or parenting time modification, or addressing another family law issue, we have the right attorney to meet your needs.

Professionally Recognized Chicago Family Law Attorneys
Our attorneys are widely recognized for excellence in family law advocacy. In 2024, 2025 and 2026, Brian Hurst and Olga Allen were named to Super Lawyers, an honor awarded to a select group of top attorneys in Illinois. Brian Hurst was also recognized by Law Bulletin Publishing in 2009 as one of 40 Illinois Attorneys Under Forty to Watch.
