About Merel Family Law

A family law firm handling divorce, high net worth divorce, child custody and parenting plans, alimony/spousal support, property division, prenuptial agreements, domestic violence matters, LGBTQ family law and same-sex divorce, second-parent adoption, and divorce mediation. Cases range from uncontested divorces resolved through negotiation or mediation to litigated trials involving business interests, retirement accounts, stock options, and real estate, with the firm bringing in outside financial professionals when needed. The firm has 21 attorneys across four offices in downtown Chicago, Highland Park, Hinsdale, and Troy, Michigan, and offers in-house divorce coaching alongside legal representation. It also produces The Chicago Divorce Podcast and maintains a blog on Illinois and Michigan family law.

Attorney Jonathan Merel founded the firm in 2009, stating he refused to practice family law "the way it's always been done" and set out to challenge large-firm stereotypes with professionalism, authenticity, and strategy tailored to each client. He serves as Founder and Managing Principal, with Melissa Caballero Dunn as Managing Partner. The firm reports serving more than 6,000 clients over 16 years in business, and its attorneys have been featured in outlets including WGN, MSN, the Today Show, Crain's Chicago, The Wall Street Journal, and Hour Detroit Magazine.
