Chicago Illinois Legal Representation

The law firm of Jill M. Metz & Associates was founded in 1978, shortly after attorney Jill Metz received her law degree from Loyola University in Chicago. This attorney has built an exemplary legal practice dedicated to providing the highest quality of legal service to clients, as well as actively engaging in the community to safeguard the rights and respond to the needs of citizens throughout Chicago and Illinois. In 2006, Susan Frances joined the law firm of Jill M. Metz & Associates. Ms. Frances graduated from Southern Illinois University School of Law in 2002 and recently relocated to Chicago.  In 2008 Ingri C Hartwig joined the law firm, a graduate of Marquette School of Law 2004.

Quality legal service begins with careful listening. An effective, solution-oriented legal approach to an issue can only be found by carefully listening to the client. An estate plan, a co-parent adoption, a gay divorce, the start of a new business—while there will be some similarities in every case, it is never a one-size-fits-all proposition. That's why our lawyers work in partnership with each client to ensure that they've been heard and their unique needs have been met.

Quality legal service requires up to date knowledge of the law. Our attorneys are well informed of the latest developments in their particular field of specialization. They are frequent speakers in the community.

• Jill M. Metz is committed to serving the legal needs of the LGBTQ community, a challenging and ever-changing legal field that includes gay and lesbian family law (domestic partnership registration, relationship dissolution, and co-parent adoption for same sex parents). Ms. Metz is serving as president of the Board of Directors for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), a cooperating attorney with the ACLU, a former chair of the Lesbian and Gay Rights Project of the ACLU, and a former legislative liaison for the Lesbian and Gay Rights Committee of the Chicago Bar Association.

Quality legal service requires sound management. While small and highly personalized, the law firm of Jill M. Metz & Associates is efficiently run by professional legal support staff and with continually upgraded office management systems. Responsiveness is a hallmark of our firm.

Our dedication to quality, understanding of the law, and commitment to client service benefit our clients. Contact the law firm of Jill M.
