Office of the Public Guardian

The Office of the Cook County Public Guardian represents those persons routinely ignored by society. We have three divisions devoted to championing for the rights of children and adults.

  • Juvenile Division - We act as lawyers for abused and neglected children.
  • Adult Guardianship Division - We are guardians for adults with disabilities.
  • Domestic Relations Division - We represent children in highly contested custody cases.
