Your Trusted Partner in Legal Excellence
Divorce & High Net Worth Divorce
Family law matters can be intense and emotions can run high. We focus first on resolving disputes before involving the Court, ensuring clients walk away with a satisfactory result without unnecessary litigation. When negotiations fail, our team is ready to advocate in the courtroom.
Child Custody, Support & Visitation
Child custody is one of the most contentious areas of family law. Courts prefer both parents partaking in a child's life. Our team helps you create comprehensive parenting plans and fights to ensure your voice is heard in custody proceedings.
Complex Property Division
Illinois follows equitable distribution, meaning property is divided fairly but not necessarily equally. When significant assets are involved — executive compensation, business interests, real estate portfolios — it's essential to work with a firm that understands how to protect your financial interests.
Spousal Maintenance & Support
Spousal support ensures that divorce does not result in an unfair economic situation. Decisions are based on length of marriage, income, and standard of living. Whether you are seeking or contesting maintenance, we provide strategic guidance through the process.

"Erik Diggs is awesome. I never knew my attorney could also become a good friend. He updated me often about my case. I laughed with him and he allowed me a safe space to cry. My divorce process lasted 3 years, but it seems as though time flew by so quickly. Mr. Diggs will fight for you and put your stress to rest. I appreciate you Mr. Diggs!"
"I have been a client of Mr. Diggs for just hitting a year. He has answered every call and email. He has called at late hours — 7, 8, 9pm — to make sure I am okay and have all my questions answered. He builds trust with his clients and he has certainly done that with me. Everything has worked 99.9% how Mr. Diggs said it would. Mr. Diggs will be my first and only recommendation."
"During a period when I felt completely broken and uncertain of who to trust, Mr. Diggs became a steady source of reassurance and truth. He led with compassion and integrity, never offering false hope. I always felt he was fighting for my family with both skill and heart. They are not just skilled attorneys — they are a team that leads with heart."
