Education: Loyola University of Chicago School of Law

Jurisdictions: Illinois - Admitted in 1994 (15 years)

Debra J. Braselton is an experienced family law attorney with a unique background and a career built around families. Debra's first career was as a certified nurse midwife at a large teaching hospital in Chicago. During her career as a nurse midwife, Debra gained a wealth of knowledge and experience with families, particularly with families in crisis. Debra's clients benefit from her experience and enjoy her unique sensitivity to the personal nature of their family law matters.
Debra handles cases involving divorce, custody, visitation, domestic violence, guardianship, and adoption in Cook, Dupage, Kane, and surrounding counties. She is adept at counseling her clients as to the proper course of action and regularly handles trials, pretrial conferences, evidentiary hearings, and contested motions in her cases. Debra is also a skilled negotiator – as comfortable developing and presenting a complex settlement proposal as she is evaluating and responding to a settlement proposal presented by her opponent. Whether she's handling litigated cases or negotiating settlements, Debra's skills help achieve the best possible results for her clients.
An advocate of alternative dispute resolution in family law matters, Debra was among the first attorneys in Illinois to receive training in collaborative law. Approximately half of Debra’s divorce practice is comprised of collaborative cases, and she is actively involved in the Illinois and international collaborative law professional organizations.
Debra achieves an out-of-court settlement in 95% of her divorce cases, a success rate she attributes to meticulous case preparation, excellent client communication, and a willingness to aggressively try the case when settlement options have been exhausted.
Debra demonstrates her commitment to professional responsibility through her active involvement in local bar associations, not-for-profit divorce educational organizations, and as a hearing officer for the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission.

Education: DePaul University

Jurisdictions: Illinois - Admitted in 1971 (38 years)

I am a native Chicagoan, and moved to DuPage County in 1972.

I attended DePaul Law School full-time in the evening, while working for one of the major trust companies in the Chicago Loop. I therefore received extensive training and experience in Estate Planning, Probate and Tax matters, and have practiced in those areas for over 30 years.

My first employment after law school was with a Chicago law firm that specialized in Real Estate and Real Estate Development matters. I worked for them for several years, adding extensive experience in both residential and commercial real estate transactions and commercial real estate development to my legal expertise.

As a private practitioner in DuPage County, I continued practicing in these fields, and added representation of clients in divorce and other domestic and family related matters. I have now represented hundreds of clients relative to dissolution of their marriages. Several judges have also appointed me as Guardian ad-litem or attorney for children in troubled situations or in complex divorce cases.

I feel that my expertise in each of these areas compliment the other. For example, complex divorces often involve real estate or business holdings, with the accompanying valuation and ownership issues. Sometimes, a trust for the benefit of children is appropriate. In doing estate planning, there is often the need to plan appropriately for the second marriage situation. Real estate clients also often need to appropriately plan their estates, and to take title to their home in a manner that is consistent with their ultimate estate desires.

I was admitted to practice in the courts of Illinois in 1971 and the U.S. Federal Court in 1971, and admitted to practice before the U.S. Tax Court in 1992. I am a member of both the Illinois and DuPage County Bar Associations.

I have been a member of the Kiwanis Club of Glen Ellyn for some years, and am presently the President of the club. As such, I recently accepted, on behalf of our club, the Family Shelter Services Civic Partner of the year award. We work closely with Family Shelter Services and other organizations to provide benefits to children in need.

My primary hobby is the study of history, particularly of the American Civil War period. I am the past president of two Civil War Round Tables (Chicago and Salt Creek, which meets in Glen Ellyn, Illinois), and a member of three Round Tables (Chicago, Salt Creek and Milwaukee). I have also given presentations, on a number of topics, to round tables throughout the midwest.

Jurisdictions: Indiana - Admitted in 2003 (6 years)

Cassandra graduated from Valparaiso University School of Law, with honors, in 2003. Cassandra understands the needs of working families, as she attended Purdue North Central and Valpo Law School full time while also working her part-time job in a hospital laboratory and raising two young children with her husband, Ken. She began her legal career in her late 30's, so that she brings life experience as well as her legal knowledge to the table when helping her clients.

Cassandra has worked primarily out of her Knox, IN, office since 2003, although she regularly travels to courts in counties that surround Starke County, including Porter, LaPorte, Marshall, St. Joseph, Fulton, Pulaski, and Jasper. Family law (e.g. divorce, custody, child support, parenting time, parental relocation, guardianships) is her main area of practice, but she can and does regularly assist clients with general civil matters, collections matters, criminal matters, and landlord/tenant matters.

When assisting you, Cassandra encourages you to take realistic and strategic approaches to your legal matter. She attempts to impart to you a common sense, rational outlook while helping you navigate a complex, legal world. She tries to assist you in lowering your legal fees by giving you the opportunity to do some of the legwork on your case, such as collecting needed documents from various sources. She tries her best to timely return your phone calls and emails. She tries to keep you informed about the status of your matter through correspondence and by sending you monthly activity/billing statements. She tries to thoroughly explain her fee and billing practices, so that you are not left in the dark when it comes to the hard-earned money you are spending on legal fees. She tries to talk with you in an understandable, person-to-person manner, not as some stuffy, authority-figure who speaks down to you.

When not working, Cassandra's "loves" are her family and her horses. Her husband, Ken, works for the Indiana Department of Corrections and has a more-stressful, second job of living with Cassandra (just kidding, Ken!). Her teenage son, Brennan, can often be found playing his flute, piccolo, and french horn for local youth symphonies. Her daughter, Molly, is learning to ride her horse when not cheering for the wrestlers of the WWE. You can often find Cassandra and her horses on the weekends at any of Indiana's state parks, soaking up nature and galloping like wild banditos down the forest trails. As Cassandra likes to say, "The wind of heaven is that which blows between a horse's ears" (Arabian Proverb).
