Chicago Tribune; Chicago, Ill.; Jul 10, 2002; Pervaiz Shallwani Special to the Tribune.
A college instructor, a mediator and a midwife turned lawyers are trying to build a legal environment that stays clear of the frequently chaotic plots of glitzy, cutthroat court television dramas.
Don't get them wrong. Susan Alvarado, Isabel Millard and Debra Braselton have no qualms about going to battle in a courtroom. They'll be the first "to put on the gloves and jump into the ring when it's necessary," Braselton said.
Advice helps trim the tab for divorce
Chicago Tribune; Chicago, IL, January 16, 2005; Devin RoseDuring a divorce, one thing in particular blind-sides people:
"The cost," said Debra Braselton, a family law attorney in Oakbrook Terrace. "They simply don't expect it.
"Take the average uncontested case, in which people are in complete agreement," she said. "It will cost $2,500 in DuPage County. A full-blown custody battle that might take three years would cost at least $50,000, and that's cheap. In the normal semi-contested situation, I would say it costs $10,000 to $15,000 and takes about a year."
