LaSalle County McHenry County Will County Illinois Cook County DeKalb County DuPage County Grundy County Kane County Kankakee County Kendall County Lake County Legal (ADR) Alternative Dispute Resolution ADR - Mediator Lawyer- Divorce and Family Law Lawyer- Wills and Estate Planning
Joerika Stitt is a licensed Illinois attorney, certified mediator, and certified collaborative divorce attorney dedicated to helping Illinois families resolve divorce outside of the courtroom.
In addition to being a licensed attorney, she brings nearly a decade of experience as a master’s-level social worker prior to entering the legal profession. This unique background allows Attorney Stitt to combine legal expertise with a deep understanding of family dynamics. She understands how people think under pressure, how relationships influence decision-making, and how to guide difficult conversations toward productive outcomes.
Attorney Stitt’s approach is grounded in one core belief — how a marriage ends matters just as much as how it began, especially when children are involved.
Her practice is focused exclusively on amicable, out-of-court divorce solutions, including mediation, collaborative divorce, and limited scope legal services. She meets clients where they are and builds the level of support their situation actually requires — whether that means serving as a neutral mediator, part of a collaborative team, or providing targeted legal guidance.
As a member of the Amicable Divorce Network, Attorney Stitt works with a network of professionals to create client-centered teams tailored to each family’s needs and financial circumstances. When appropriate, this may include financial professionals or family specialists to support a more comprehensive and sustainable resolution. Her goal remains consistent — to guide families through divorce with dignity, clarity, and agreements designed to work in real life.
Attorney Stitt also offers limited scope legal services for individuals navigating divorce on their own who need focused attorney assistance with specific tasks such as document drafting, settlement review, hearing preparation, or courtroom coaching — all offered at transparent, flat-fee pricing.
She serves clients throughout Cook, Will, DuPage, Lake, and Kankakee Counties, as well as clients across Illinois.
