Divorce
Family decisions: We place a high value on family and community ties, and we bring that philosophy to our practice of family and divorce law. We want to help you resolve family disputes without destroying your family. We have over 20 years of experience in settling legal and financial disputes through negotiation and mediation. We believe family matters should be put into the adversarial arena of trials and judges only when absolutely necessary or when negotiations fail, such as in cases involving domestic violence or substance abuse disorders.
Child Support
In a divorce with children, the parenting plan can be one of the most difficult issues to resolve. When two parents are both deeply involved in raising their children, the idea of giving up that daily interaction with your children can be heart-wrenching. Separating one's own desires from the best interest of the children can be very difficult. Financial issues also come into play: Couples sometimes fight over who gets the majority of parenting time because it affects which parent will make child support payments to the other.
Child Custody and Visitation
While working at McNamara Phelan McSteen, LLC, Ray McSteen dedicated his career to serving family law clients. For nearly 30 years, he provided legal guidance to families facing challenges involving divorce, child support, child custody, and debt division. Mr. McSteen also served as a family law mediator, using his impressive conflict resolution skills to help spouses, parents, and other parties resolve disputes in their cases. He is thoroughly committed to the legal community, participating in several organizations, including the Illinois State Bar Association and the Will County Bar Association.

Guardianship
Spousal Support
In many marriages, one spouse takes on the role of primary wage-earner while the other spouse focuses more of their energy on childcare and other duties at home. In other cases, one spouse may have sacrificed their career in order to enable the other spouse to advance theirs. When such a couple divorces, it can be difficult for the lower-earning spouse to immediately become self-supporting. If you are in this situation, you may want to ask for maintenance (formerly known as spousal support or alimony) as part of your marital settlement agreement.

Criminal Defense
While the internet has made it easy to access legal information and standard forms, do not be misled into thinking that the law has become as easy as ordering something online. When you have a significant dispute over a matter of civil law or criminal law, the advice and assistance of an experienced attorney can make a substantial difference in the outcome of your case.
DUI/DWI
If you have just received your first ticket for driving under the influence (DUI) in Illinois, you may not realize how serious this is. You have committed a crime. While some states do not classify a first DUI offense as a crime, Illinois does. In addition, a DUI conviction will remain on your Illinois criminal record and driving record for life.
Wrongful Death
A wrongful death action may proceed regardless of whether the negligent party was found guilty or not guilty of a crime, or charged with a crime at all. A wrongful death action is a civil court matter with different standards of proof than a criminal court.
Traffic Violations
When you or a loved one gets a single traffic ticket for a minor offense like rolling through a stop sign, it may seem easy to shrug it off and just pay the fine. Yet some traffic violations can be far more costly. For example, if you have three moving violation convictions within one year, the Illinois Secretary of State can suspend your driver's license. For drivers under age 21, it takes just two moving violation convictions within two years to have your license suspended.
Robbery
Robbery is defined as theft of property from a person by force or the threat of force. At a minimum, this is a class 2 felony punishable by three to seven years in prison (alternatively, up to 4 years on probation) and a fine of up to $25,000. More serious forms such as robbery on school grounds, aggravated robbery, and armed robbery carry even higher penalties.
Burglary
Burglary involves entering a building or vehicle (i.e., a motor vehicle, watercraft, aircraft, or railroad car) with intent to steal or commit a felony. Burglary to a vehicle without property damage is a Class 3 felony. Burglary to a vehicle causing property damage is a Class 2 felony. Burglary of a building is a Class 2 felony, except that burglary of a residence, school, child care center, or place of worship is a Class 1 felony (720 ILCS 5/19).
Theft

Drug Crimes
A drug arrest and conviction in Illinois has serious, long-term consequences. Hiring the right defense attorney is critical to your case and your future. If you are facing drug charges including possession, manufacturing or trafficking, here are three things you need to know...
Assault
Without careful investigation, assault and battery cases can become a contest of "he said, she said." Your attorney's ability to study and interpret the details of witness testimony and surveillance camera footage, and to create a timeline and map of the incident, can be critical. Attorney Polito puts his keen intellect and passion for research to good use in such cases. His strong communication and negotiation skills also contribute heavily to his success, as nine out of ten criminal cases in the US are settled by plea bargaining.
Murder
Aggravated battery is typically a Class 3 felony. The most serious incidents, such as shooting or stabbing, can be charged as a Class X felony, the most serious crime short of first-degree murder.
Homicide
For example, if you were injured as the result of your own intoxication or while committing a forcible felony, reckless homicide, or aggravated driving under the influence, you could be disqualified.
Shoplifting
Shoplifting, trespassing, and vandalism are fairly common property crimes. In most cases, the financial harm done to the victim is relatively small, so you might tend to think of these as petty offenses. The reality, though, is that the price for a property crime conviction can be quite high.
Restraining Order
Hit and Run
Leaving the scene of an accident or hit and run: When you are involved in a car accident, Illinois law requires you to stop, exchange information with other people involved, and render aid to anyone who is injured. Failure to do so is a Class A misdemeanor. If you leave the scene of an accident without complying with those requirements, and the vehicle damage is over $1,000, your driver's license can be suspended. If you leave the scene of an accident involving personal injury or death, you can be charged with a felony.

Employment Litigation
Â€œI am an attorney who came to Todd after I was arrested for a DUI and speeding. Working with Todd was a pleasure. He was responsive and I never had to worry about when court was or what he needed from me. I was always informed. As an attorney, I knew my case was not going to be easy which is why I wanted to find the best lawyer I could. Enter Todd Polito. Both he and his firm have an incredible reputation both statewide and in Will County. Long story short, my case was successfully dismissed. Additionally, Todd was extremely helpful with non-court related matters including working with the Secretary of State and potential employment issues regarding my arrest. Put simply, you canâ€™t do any better than Todd Polito. His knowledge of the law and his relationships with prosecutors and judges is invaluable.â€

Dog Bites
In some states, a dog owner may be exempt from liability for damages the first time their dog bites someone as long as they had no reason to believe the dog could be dangerous. This rule does not apply in Illinois. Here, the dog owner is liable any time their dog causes injury, as long as you were "peaceably conducting yourself" in a place where you were lawfully present.
