About Our Firm

Lawyers for Real Estate, Business Law, and More Serving Cook & Dupage Counties

Attorneys Kathryn C. Whitacre and Daniel Stefanczuk established Whitacre & Stefanczuk LTD to meet the needs of our local community. Both attorneys are graduates of the Thomas M. Cooley Law School and members of the Illinois State Bar Association. We are proudly able to offer our services to both English and Polish speakers, extending our mission to Cook County's vibrant Polish community.

About Our Practice and Mission

Our practice focuses on real estate and business law, often serving Chicago-area entrepreneurs. The services we provide are essential to creating a strong local economy where small businesses can thrive and real estate dealings are accessible to the average person. Our work in business formation is a substantial part of our practice, while we also provide ongoing services to business owners.

We work with a large number of first-time homebuyers and prospective landlords, in addition to facilitating sales and leasing for larger commercial properties. Our goal is to help people deal in real estate like an old pro, whether it is their first transaction or their tenth.

We also believe that families are the essential building blocks of our community, so our firm is also equipped and excited to offer a number of family law services. We work very closely with our family law clients. To best represent someone who is going through a divorce or fighting for custody of their children, we find it essential to sit down with them and discuss their goals and needs.

Closely related is our estate planning practice. Families and entrepreneurs alike rely on estate planning to achieve long-term financial stability and success. We view estate planning as a comprehensive protection plan for life. Your will and trust can create a legacy for your surviving loved ones, while powers of attorney and advance directives protect you during your own lifetime.

Personalized Legal Representation

Your goals become our goals when we represent you. Our job is to zealously pursue the outcome you desire. We strive to pay close attention to the particular needs, wants, and goals of every individual client. When you are in a position to need a lawyer, you deserve to be represented by someone who will take the time to understand what you need from us.

No two clients are ever alike. No two businesses, families, or properties are ever the same. There are no "one-size-fits-all" approaches at this law firm. Instead, we tailor our approach to each and every client.

We will treat your case as if it is our own. Our lawyers are incredibly persistent and willing to put in the long hours it can take to achieve success for our clients. We explore every possible option for meeting your goals, leaving no stone unturned in our quest to meet your individual needs.
