Chapter 10 - I Retain A Ruthless Chicago Family Law Attorney
At sunrise, I placed a call to Victoria Vance, one of Chicago’s most formidable and expensive family law litigators.
By nine o’clock, Victoria strode into my hospital waiting room wearing a sharp charcoal pantsuit and designer sunglasses.
“I read the police report and the CPS intake notes, Nia; we are going to eviscerate them in court,” Victoria stated firmly.
“Ryan thinks his corporate connections will shield him from criminal charges and custody loss,” I warned my lawyer.
“Ryan’s corporate firm values public relations above all else, and child abuse makes toxic headlines,” Victoria replied coolly.
She opened her leather briefcase, sliding a thick stack of emergency court filings across the coffee table for my signature.
“We are filing for immediate sole physical and legal custody, plus an emergency order of protection,” Victoria explained.
“What about our marital assets and the house?” I asked, thinking about the mortgage and joint accounts.

“We’ll freeze every corporate and personal bank account they control before the stock market opens this morning,” she promised.
With Victoria handling our legal assault, I finally felt the heavy burden on my shoulders begin to lift.
