About Robert O. Ackley

The Supreme Court of Illinois does not recognize certifications of specialties in the practice of law, and I do not hold myself out as a specialist. However, I concentrate my practice in the following areas: appeals, criminal, business litigation, family, juvenile, and real estate matters.
