Kathryn “Katy” Homburger Mickelson, a Divorce and Family Law Equity Partner with Beermann LLP for almost two decades, is a seasoned litigator and certified mediator. “I wear different hats, depending on my clients’ needs and the tasks at hand,” says Mickelson. “It is incredibly important to work with a family law attorney who is credible, trustworthy, and sensitive to the difficulties that family law conflict can pose but also a voice of reason. I am known to be extremely calm. I listen to what my clients say and engage in a dialogue with them. This is not about my ego or proving how smart I am.” She is committed to providing practical and common sense advice that will help clients successfully navigate through emotionally and financially complex issues. “The need for strategic and thoughtful counsel is never more important than for those facing family law conflict,” she adds. “Whether it’s drafting and negotiating prenuptial and postnuptial agreements that protect my clients’ wealth and assets, or representing the interests of both parties with significant means in both divorce and parentage proceedings, I counsel clients on a variety of sensitive family law issues that require discrete representation.” A North Shore native who lives in Park Ridge with her husband, two children, and the family’s English Mastiff, Mickelson was drawn to the legal field because she wanted to make a difference in the lives of others, creatively. “Having started my professional career as a communications expert, I wanted to find an area of practice where I could implement out of the box thinking to persuade, tell stories, and advocate,” adds Mickelson, a University of Michigan and Chicago-Kent College of Law graduate who is actively involved with local civic and philanthropic organizations. “I did not just want to become a lawyer. I wanted to influence, with purpose.”
