Haid and Teich LLP

Who the firm sets out to represent

Women's Divorce & Family Law Group operates as part of Haid and Teich LLP, a family law practice based in Chicago. The firm works only in divorce and family law. It describes itself as the first firm in the Chicagoland area built around representing women and mothers in divorce and custody matters.

That focus shapes how the practice presents itself. In my opinion, a firm that names a specific client group tends to understand the questions that group asks most often. The concentration is narrow by design. There is no mention of criminal, corporate, or personal injury work, and the site stays with matters that arise inside families.

A single-focus practice has a practical upside for clients. The attorneys see the same courts and judges week after week. For someone facing a first divorce or a custody dispute, that repetition can translate into steadier guidance. It also means the intake conversation starts from familiar ground rather than from scratch.

The range of family law work

The practice covers the areas most families meet when a marriage ends or a parenting question comes up. The stated list runs across divorce, child custody and visitation, child support, and spousal support. The firm also handles prenuptial and postnuptial agreements and paternity cases.

Divorce and property division

Divorce sits at the center of the firm's work. The site notes cases involving high-net-worth clients and complex property division. Those files often turn on valuing a business, splitting retirement accounts, or tracing assets held in more than one place. Listing this as a stated focus tells a prospective client the firm expects that kind of case, not just a simple filing where little is in dispute.

Children and support

Custody, visitation, and child support form a second cluster. These matters decide where children live and how each parent contributes. Spousal support, sometimes called alimony, can run alongside them. The firm groups all of these under one roof, which suits clients whose divorce and parenting issues move together.

Agreements and paternity

Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements point to work done before or during a marriage, not only at its end. Paternity cases, which can settle parentage and the rights that follow, round out the list. The site also names orders of protection and LGBTQ family law among the matters the team takes on.

How the team is built

The firm names a full roster of attorneys on its team page. The structure runs from five partners through a managing attorney in Denver, then several senior associates and associates, backed by administrative staff. Joshua Haid and James Teich are listed as partners, alongside Pamela Kuzniar, Megan Suchy Rayford, and Morgan Gay.

Tawni Cummings holds the managing attorney role in Denver. Senior associates include Suzette Pierson, Dimitra Katsis, Stephanie Powers, and Vanessa Williams. Kelly Ehrenreich and Mikayla Stoveland appear among the associates. The page gives names and titles but not bios, so a reader will not find law schools or admission years there.

The litigation team approach

The firm says it assigns each client a litigation team. The stated aim is that an attorney familiar with the case stays available when the client needs one. As a reviewer, I read that as an answer to a common worry: that a file gets handed around until no one recalls its history. A named team, on paper, keeps more than one person across the details.

Where the firm practices

The practice keeps more than one office. It lists three Illinois locations, in Chicago, Lake Forest, and Lisle, plus a fourth in Denver, Colorado. The Colorado office carries its own phone line and its own managing attorney, which points to a working presence rather than a name on a map.

For a client, several offices can mean a shorter trip and a court-local team. Illinois and Colorado run family law under different statutes. Having attorneys tied to each state matters for anyone whose case sits clearly on one side or the other. It also lets the firm keep a client whose life crosses the two states.

What the listing shows and what it leaves out

The firm publishes what it does, where it works, and who is on the team. It keeps active Facebook, LinkedIn, and X profiles. It does not post a founding year, and it does not publish attorney biographies or a firm email, so contact runs through a form or by phone.

In my opinion, the record here is candid about its limits. The firm states a clear focus, a full practice list, and a named team, and it stops short of claims it cannot back. A prospective client will probably want to ask about a specific attorney's background, since the site does not put that detail forward on its own. On the evidence published, the picture is consistent and easy to read.
