Geneva, IL Family Law Attorneys

Family Law

Family legal matters outside of divorce also often involve heightened emotions and stress, but the level of care and legal acumen offered by the Law Office of Martoccio & Martoccio can help put your mind at ease.

In paternity cases, we help unmarried parents confirm a father's biological and legal relationship to their child by filing a Voluntary Acknowledgement of Paternity (VAP) form. We also represent mothers who need to determine their child's father by a court-ordered DNA paternity test and fathers who want to establish paternity rights.

We help domestic violence victims file for and receive orders of protection, including emergency orders designed to halt an imminent threat. We also defend individuals falsely accused of domestic violence, which sometimes occurs during contentious family law cases.

For couples who wish to plan for worst-case scenarios, we draft prenuptial and postnuptial agreements that address matters that are certain to come up if they one day divorce. By making important decisions during good times in a relationship, a couple can avoid doing so under the intense strain of divorce.

Personal Injury

Accidents caused by the negligence of others often result in injuries that lead to significant medical bills, missed work, and pain and suffering. Many accident victims recover quickly, others take extended periods of time and rehabilitation, and some never fully reclaim the life they once had. At the Law Office of Martoccio & Martoccio, we can help get the compensation you deserve for the expenses and difficulties inflicted upon you. We assist people injured by:

• Car accidents

• Medical malpractice

• Workplace accidents

• Construction accidents

• Dog bites

• Slip-and-fall accidents

If your loved one was fatally injured in an accident due to someone else's wrongdoing, we can file a wrongful death lawsuit to recover compensation for funeral and burial expenses, medical costs prior to death, loss of future earnings, survivors' pain and anguish, and other hardships. We will pursue the largest financial award or settlement possible so negligent parties are held accountable.
