A Rockford Attorney Dedicated to Protecting Clients’ Rights
With over a decade of legal experience, I’m here to protect my clients’ rights with dedication and skill. After earning my JD/MBA in 2013, I served as a prosecutor in Winnebago County, winning cases across areas like DUI, domestic violence, and juvenile law. As an attorney for the Illinois Army National Guard, I’ve represented soldiers and advised commanders, combining military discipline with courtroom expertise. No matter the case, I bring 110% effort to achieve the best outcomes for my clients.

Divorce Representation in Rockford and Winnebago County
A divorce can affect property, debt, housing, support, parenting arrangements, and day-to-day responsibilities. Rockford divorce lawyer Eric Vernsten helps clients identify immediate concerns, understand the documents before them, and prepare for decisions that may need to be negotiated or presented to the court.
Property, Support, and Parenting Decisions
Every family’s situation is different. Depending on the case, the next steps may involve property and debt division, spousal support, or parenting time and decision-making responsibilities. Eric reviews the facts and available records before recommending an approach; no particular result can be predicted or guaranteed.
Contested and Uncontested Divorce
When spouses agree on the main issues, the terms still need to be complete and reflected in the required documents. When issues remain disputed, the case may involve information exchange, negotiation, mediation, hearings, or trial preparation.
