Hinsdale Magazine Group (HMG): What sets MKFM Law apart when it comes to handling family law cases?

MKFM Law: Our firm brings together decades of collective experience in all aspects of family law. What truly sets us apart is our ability to combine compassionate representation with strategic advocacy. Every family situation is unique, and we take the time to understand our clients’ priorities—whether it’s protecting their children, their financial future, or their peace of mind.

HMG: What types of family law cases does your firm handle most often?

MKFM Law: We handle a full spectrum of family law matters, including divorce, collaborative divorce, legal separation, child custody and parenting time, child and spousal support, property division, post-decree enforcement, prenuptial agreements, guardianship, and adoption. Our attorneys are also skilled in complex matters involving high-net-worth individuals, business ownership, and contested custody.

HMG: How do you support clients through such emotionally charged situations?

MKFM Law: We emphasize empathy, clarity, and communication. Family law issues are often deeply personal, so we strive to create an environment where clients feel heard, supported, and informed. Our attorneys offer not only legal guidance but emotional reassurance and a steady hand throughout the process.

HMG: Has the firm adopted any tools or practices to improve the family law experience for clients?

MKFM Law: We embrace alternative dispute resolutions, including collaborative divorce and mediation. These methods can significantly reduce conflict and preserve family relationships. We also make it a priority to keep our clients informed and prepared at every step.

HMG: What advice would you offer to someone considering divorce or facing a family law issue?

MKFM Law: Don’t wait to speak with an experienced attorney. Early legal guidance can prevent costly mistakes and help you better understand your rights and options. A well-planned approach is always better than a reactive one—especially when children or long-term finances are involved.

Kristina and Matthew Bailey began reading books to their son, Owen when he was six months old— they haven’t stopped. Owen turned 4 in June and recently received an award from the Clarendon Hills Public Library for having had 1,000 books read to him before starting kindergarten. The library’s 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Challenge is one of a few reading challenge programs offered in Clarendon Hills, where the Bailey family has lived for the past 2 1/2 years.

That’s when COVID started, and he didn’t get out much, so reading books to him worked out very well. He’s a naturally curious kid, and imagination-building is important. The reading allows him to learn and explore new things, and he really wants to learn to read now.” Krista Devlin, the Clarendon Hills library’s youth services librarian, said there’s a specific reason The Friends of the Library-sponsored 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten Challenge was started in 2022. “Reading aloud to a child is one of the best ways to help develop important early literacy skills, which will prepare them for kindergarten,” Devlin said. “It is also a great way to bond with your child and to encourage a love of reading.” Devlin said Owen was the second child to reach the challenge of having 1,000 books read to him before starting kindergarten. He was awarded a certificate, a crown, and his picture was taken to recognize his accomplishment. Bailey, who said she is “a big reader,” said her family usually goes to the library once a week. Reading three books each night to Owen, along with a book before nap time, is the household normal. “Consistency in our routine has been good and is important,” she said, adding that Owen’s two sisters, ages 2 1/2 and 1
