BETH F. MCCORMACK, EQUITY PARTNER: BEERMANN LLP

Great family law attorneys recognize the importance of listening and being patient with clients as they tell their stories, especially when clients are going through the difficult process of divorce. From the first meeting with a client through to their case being resolved, Beth McCormack, one of the top family law attorneys in Illinois, takes the time to listen to her clients, learn about their goals, and manage their expectations. “I’m in constant communication with my clients and am always accessible,” McCormack says. “This helps them feel heard and eases their angst in an unimaginably stressful time in their life.” McCormack is a fighter and knew at a young age she wanted to be a lawyer, and her tenacity and hard work have made her the successful attorney she is today. She has experience in complex litigation, mediation, and Collaborative Law, and has won numerous awards, including Leading Lawyer and Best Lawyer as well as the peer-nominated Top 50 Women Super Lawyer and Top 100 Super Lawyer. A decade ago, McCormack became the first woman Equity Partner at the firm, which was founded in 1958 by Highland Park resident Miles Beermann. McCormack says her creativity in helping clients choose which path to divorce sets her apart from her colleagues. “Fighting in court is an option, but not the only one,” she says. “Resolving cases outside of court allows clients to have control over their outcome, privacy, and is often a more cost-effective option.”
