Kimber Russell
Family Law Attorney
- Biography
As a family law attorney, I will be a strong advocate for you and your family in times of crisis. Whether you need a dissolution, a post-decree action such as modification of child support or parenting time, I will be by your side and fighting for you.
Cannabis expungements and criminal records relief are what I provide to clients to give them a fresh start.
I am also an advocate and guide for people facing the criminal prosecution system in Chicagoland. I am a founder and partner at Vanguard Advocates, LLP, a law practice focused on people and problem-solving. Vanguard Advocates, LLP is driven by a mission to provide legal services that are affordable, with clear and predictable pricing, so that your focus can be on your criminal, traffic, or juvenile justice issue.
