Meet Attorney Terry Fawell

Family lawyer Terry Fawell has practiced law for more than 30 years. Since 1980, she has concentrated her practice in the western Chicago suburbs on family law issues such as divorce, child custody, visitation, child support, alimony, adoptions and name changes. She is also a trained mediator and currently serves as chairperson for the DuPage County mandatory arbitration program.

Terry Fawell is the author of the following articles:

  • “Spousal Health Insurance Rights Act,” DuPage County Bar Association Law Journal
  • “Drafting an Enforceable Antenuptial Agreement,” DuPage County Bar Association brief

She also served as a DuPage County public defender from 1975 to 1980, gaining extensive trial experience.

“Experience is important in a family law case. No one wants to go to court not knowing what to expect. I have good working relationships with most of the attorneys who handle family law cases in DuPage, Will and Kane counties, which aids in the negotiating of settlements and can help keep the process civil. I am also familiar with many of the local judges, and I can use that familiarity to anticipate how they might rule in your case.” – Terry Fawell
