Ogar & Miller

Ogar & Miller is a family law firm based in Crystal Lake, Illinois — one of the largest communities in McHenry County in the northwest Chicago suburbs. The firm provides experienced divorce and family law representation to clients throughout McHenry County and the surrounding northwest suburban communities, offering sophisticated legal counsel in a region that has grown substantially as part of the greater Chicago metropolitan area. Crystal Lake's position in the Chicago collar counties means Ogar & Miller operates in a dynamic legal market where family law cases often involve complex financial circumstances — executive compensation, business ownership interests, stock options, significant real estate holdings, and substantial retirement accounts. Illinois's equitable distribution framework under 750 ILCS 5/503 gives courts broad discretion in dividing marital property, and the firm's attorneys are experienced in presenting financial evidence that supports fair outcomes. The firm handles all aspects of Illinois dissolution proceedings, including contested and uncontested divorce, marital property and business valuations, maintenance analysis, allocation of parental responsibilities, parenting time schedules, and child support determinations under Illinois's income shares model. Ogar & Miller understands the importance of Illinois's reformed 2016 IMDMA framework and helps clients navigate the 'parental responsibilities' and 'parenting time' terminology that now governs children's issues in Illinois family courts. Ogar & Miller serves clients throughout McHenry County, including Crystal Lake, Woodstock, Algonquin, and Cary, as well as clients in Lake County and Kane County.
