The Law Office of George J. Skuros

Focus and practice areas

Family law carries most of the work at The Law Office of George J. Skuros. The Park Ridge, Illinois firm handles divorce cases, including uncontested filings and high-conflict matters. It also deals with the division of marital property and assets.

Child-related work sits alongside that. The firm handles child custody and parenting plans, child support, and parental responsibilities. Paternity cases are part of the practice too.

Support questions come up in most divorces, and the firm covers spousal support as its own area of work. It also drafts prenuptial and postnuptial agreements for couples who want terms settled in advance. Guardianship proceedings for minor children and disabled adults round out the family-side offering.

Probate and real estate work

Two further areas appear on the firm's site, both with practical overlap for family clients. On the probate side, the firm prepares wills and powers of attorney. It also handles matters involving intestate succession, where someone dies without a will.

Real estate is the other. The firm represents clients buying, selling, and refinancing property.In my opinion, that pairing makes sense for a family law office: the marital home is often among the higher-value assets in a divorce, and probate matters frequently turn on real property.

How the team is built

Two attorneys are named on the site. George J. Skuros leads the firm and has over 30 years of legal experience. He has handled Chicago-area divorce and family law cases for more than two decades.

His background also covers Illinois probate and real estate law, which explains why those areas appear in the firm's offering. That combination of family, probate, and property work under one attorney is a fairly traditional shape for a suburban Illinois practice.

Lauren M. Schulze works with the firm as Associate Attorney. The site lists the position without further detail on her background.

What the attorney listings say

The site describes experience in years rather than by naming law schools or admission dates. As a reviewer, I'd note that the length of time in one field is a useful signal on its own. More than twenty years on Chicago-area family cases means a lot of exposure to the same judges, the same local rules, and the same recurring disputes.

Where the firm works

The office is in Park Ridge, a suburb just northwest of Chicago. From there, the firm takes clients across five Illinois counties: Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, and Will. That covers Chicago itself and a wide arc of surrounding suburbs.

Those five counties each run their own domestic relations divisions with their own local practices. A firm that appears regularly across all of them is working in several different courthouse cultures. The Park Ridge location puts it close to the Cook County suburban courthouses while keeping city courts within reach.

What the record shows

The firm's public information is straightforward about what it does. Practice areas are listed with enough detail to tell what kind of matters the firm takes: uncontested divorce and high-conflict divorce are named separately, and property division is called out on its own.

The site does not state a founding year, and it gives no entity form such as P.C. or LLC after the firm name. It also carries no social media links. The name follows the older convention of a single named attorney, which matches how the practice is described.

For someone comparing options in the northwest suburbs, the useful facts here are the scope and the tenure. One attorney with three decades of practice, an associate, and a defined set of family, probate, and property services across five counties. Someone facing a divorce with a house and a will to sort out can get all three handled in the same place.

Who this firm suits

The client profile the site points toward is a family law client in the Chicago suburbs. Divorce work anchors the practice, with custody and support attached to it.

Couples who want an agreement in place before or during a marriage are also covered by the prenuptial and postnuptial drafting. Parents dealing with paternity questions have a clear route in. Families needing guardianship for a minor or a disabled adult will find that work listed as well.

The probate and real estate services widen the range somewhat. A client who came in for a divorce may later need a will drafted or a home sale handled, and the firm does both. George J. Skuros has practiced in all three areas over his career.
