Helping people is a lifelong passion for Beth F. McCormack, Family Law Partner at Beermann LLP. “I still love what I do after 30 years of serving men and women going through the darkest times in their life,” says McCormack, who is a mentor to her peers and often regarded as one of the most influential lawyers in the Chicago area. “It is a true honor to help people through the darkness and watching them transform into new people after we are done.” She knows that one size does not fit all when it comes to family law and relies on her decades of experience to guide clients in the right direction. “Knowledge is power. Clients need to know the importance of having control over their outcome and the amount of money they spend on their attorneys to get that outcome,” she explains. “They should gain as much insight as they can prior to their spouse knowing they are considering divorce.” McCormack says she enjoys working with people from all walks of life, reflecting on her early days as an attorney for domestic violence survivors who couldn’t afford legal representation. “I continue to passionately fight for survivors, yet now they tend to be in what would be considered the high net-worth category,” she adds. “Unfortunately, domestic violence does not discriminate and happens across all socioeconomic categories.”
