Sherri Williams

 With an early professional career as an interdiction counselor and middle school teacher, there was a natural segue into a legal career in family law. Sherri worked extensively in the Cook County Court’s juvenile division, before opening her own law firm.  She understands the sensitive nature of family. She has deep convictions about the rights of people, especially children.  She has years of experience as an advocate for those who cannot speak for themselves.  And most importantly, she has the skills, experience and drive to meet the needs of her clients.
