Forty years steadying Illinois families.
Christine Marshall has practiced family law in and around St. Charles, Illinois for more than four decades. Her clients come to her at the hardest turns of their lives — divorce, custody, guardianship, protection from abuse — and leave with something rare in this work: a plan they understand, and a resolution they can live with.
Family law lives in the space between the courthouse and the kitchen table. Christine's practice was built on the belief that the client's best result is rarely the loudest one. Composed preparation, honest counsel, and disciplined negotiation resolve the majority of matters — and when the courtroom is the right room, she is ready for it.
She keeps her caseload deliberate so every client speaks with the attorney handling their matter, not a rotating team. In an industry that measures itself in billable hours, Christine measures her work by whether the family in front of her is more protected, more informed, and more settled than they were when they called.
Christine represents parents, spouses, grandparents, guardians, and adults protecting aging or disabled family members throughout Kane County and the greater Fox River Valley.

A St. Charles practice, invested in this valley.
Christine has practiced in the 16th Judicial Circuit — the Kane County Judicial Center in St. Charles — for decades. Her office at 200 Hunt Club Dr Suite 120 sits minutes from the courthouse, from the Fox River, and from the neighborhoods where most of her clients live and raise their children. That proximity is not incidental to how she practices: it is why she can move quickly when a matter requires it.
