  Keith Kearney, Tony Lush, Amy Blair, and Christopher Cloud provide legal assistance to clients in the areas of separation, dissolution, divorce, child custody and support, domestic violence, spousal support, equitable property divisions and adoptions. Our dedication to this area of law springs from a desire to use our legal skills, experience and compassion in a way that we can most effectively help our clients. It goes without saying that any issues surrounding the dissolution of a relationship, no matter the length, are emotionally charged and affect all parties involved, particularly children. It is our experience that taking an aggressive, yet dignified, stance in these matters produces not only the best results for our clients, but also for the family as a whole. We take the time to explain the legal process to our clients and understand their concerns.

• Personal Injury
  From the outset, the Firm has focused on providing general legal services to the entrepreneur who created, developed and operated a business enterprise. Harry Jeffrey built on that foundation and established a strong interest in litigation, personal injury and divorce. After 35 years as a solo practitioner with an emphasis on business and real estate, William A. Rogers, Sr. joined the Firm in the 1940s to continue the business aspect of the Firm’s practice while Harry Jeffrey served as a United States Congressman. When William A. Rogers, Sr. left the Firm in the early 1950s to own and manage a business venture in Chicago, J. Robert Donnelly joined the Firm and developed a strong business and estate planning practice.
