Introducing Jessica L. Weaver&nbsp; Sterk Family Law Group. P.C. has expanded their family of professionals with the addition of Law Clerk Jessica L. Weaver. Jessica L. Weaver is a Law Clerk at Sterk Family Law Group and supports the attorneys and legal team through legal research, case preparation, document review, and day-to-day case support. Jessica is currently working towards her Juris Doctor at DePaul University College of Law. Through her role at the firm, she is gaining hands-on experience while expanding her knowledge of family law and estate planning.&nbsp;Get to Know Jessica L. Weaver 
Why did you choose to work in Family Law?
Honestly, I started law school not really knowing what area of law I wanted to practice; I just knew I wanted to do something to help people. After I completed my third semester of law school, I had a small existential crisis because I still wasn&rsquo;t sure what area of law I wanted to go into after graduation. I decided to take two family law classes the following semester, and I realized that this was exactly what I had been looking for. Family law is a great way to help people at very significant points in their lives, and I look forward to learning more about how to provide support during these times.&nbsp;&nbsp;
How do you get away from stress and separate your work from your home life?
I&rsquo;m not always the best at this, but I try to be very intentional about having a &ldquo;hard stop&rdquo; time when I&rsquo;m studying or doing work. There have been times when I&rsquo;m hyper-focused on a task and am not looking at the time, and before I know it, it&rsquo;s 11 PM, and I need to be in bed. After the twentieth or so time of that happening, I decided to set an alarm to mark a &ldquo;hard stop&rdquo; time, and after that time, I am no longer allowed to be on my computer to do any more work. I still sometimes just keep going and ignore the alarm, but I&rsquo;ve definitely gotten better!
Who is your hero?
My sister is definitely my hero. She&rsquo;s seven years older than me and has been my biggest role model in life. She&rsquo;s a psychologist who has her own practice now, and seeing her work so hard to achieve her goals has been a huge inspiration.&nbsp;
What is your favorite quote?
My favorite quote is from C.S. Lewis &ndash; &ldquo;There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.&rdquo;&nbsp;
What do you do in your spare time?
I recently learned how to crochet, so I love doing that while I&rsquo;m watching TV or YouTube videos. It&rsquo;s a good way to decompress and shut my brain off so I&rsquo;m not thinking about everything I need to get done. I also like to read any and all genres of fiction books!
What is your favorite holiday and why?
My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving! There&rsquo;s great food, of course, but I also really enjoy that the theme of the holiday is &ldquo;giving thanks.&rdquo; It&rsquo;s nice to have the reminder to slow down and be thankful for all of the good things in your life.&nbsp;
If you could be any animal, what would you be and why?
I would definitely be a cat! They just get to laze around and nap or play all day, and that sounds like a great life!

Get to Know Cynthia L. Petersen
<ul><li>What do clients look for in an attorney? &ndash; Clients looking for an attorney want someone who can understand their circumstances and the emotional issues involved in their situation.&nbsp; Knowledge and expertise are important, but empathy isn&rsquo;t far behind.&nbsp; A good attorney has the knowledge and skills while a great attorney has the knowledge, skills and the ability to relate to their clients.</li><li>Why did you choose Family Law? &ndash; Family law is one of the most rewarding areas of the law.&nbsp; Not only do we help people who are in sometimes their worst situation in life, but we also act as a bridge between the court, which approach cases like a financial and/or business transaction, and the client who is often going through emotional trauma and may not be in a frame of mind to make the best decisions about the financial aspects of their case without the help of a good attorney.</li><li>What is your greatest fulfillment as a family law attorney? &ndash; My favorite part of practicing family law is doing my best when negotiating a fair settlement for my client or using my best litigating skills to get what my client needs in their case.&nbsp; The happiness and gratitude expressed by the client is truly heart warming.</li><li>How do you get away from stress and separate your work from your home life? &ndash; I am an artist and photographer so painting a picture or going through the countryside and taking pictures is relaxing for me.&nbsp; I am also a singer and sing on the worship team at church, which is my favorite stress reliever.</li><li>Who is your hero? &ndash; My mother is my hero.&nbsp; She is wise, loving and always affirming.&nbsp; She taught me how to approach life with joy and positivity.&nbsp; She trained me to sing and taught me how to be confident.</li><li>What is your favorite quote? &ndash; My life verse is Ephesians 2:10 &ndash; &ldquo;For we are God&rsquo;s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.&rdquo;</li><li>My favorite funny quote is: &ldquo;Dogs have owners, Cats have staff.&rdquo;</li><li>What do you do in your spare time? &ndash; I love to watch good TV shows with my husband in the evening, or go to a good movie.&nbsp; Of course, singing, taking photos and going shopping with my 2 daughters is also fun.</li><li>What is your biggest accomplishment? &ndash; I had a case in which the ex-spouse did not want his former wife to have his executive &ldquo;top hat&rdquo; pension.&nbsp; I prevailed at court and the ex-husband appealed.&nbsp; I did an oral argument in front of the Appellate Court and they quoted me when affirming the trial court&rsquo;s decision and sending the case back to the trial court to enforce the ruling.</li><li>How do you like working with Sterk Family Law Group, P.C.? &ndash; Sterk Family Law Group, P.C. represents their clients zealously and really cares about them.&nbsp; I love being part of that.</li><li>What is a fun fact about you? &ndash; My husband and I own an escape room business, which is very fun.&nbsp; I love to watch people trying to figure out the riddles, clues and other challenges and it is even more fun to watch their reactions when they win.</li><li>What is your favorite holiday and why? &ndash; I should say Mother&rsquo;s Day, because I am a mother of 3, but my favorite holiday is Easter because it is a joyful holiday &ndash; and I get to sing great songs at church!</li><li>Are you connected to the counties in which you practice? &ndash; I am a board member of a pet shelter in my county and have been on the board of the Chamber of Commerce in my small town as well.&nbsp; Our town has a town choir in the Christmas season and I love being a part of that.</li><li>If you could be any animal, what would you be and why? &ndash; I would love to be a dog with a pampering owner.&nbsp; I spoil my dog and cats and often say to them, &ldquo;Ah to spend my day lazing around and getting treats.&nbsp; Wouldn&rsquo;t that be the best?!&rdquo;</li></ul>Sterk Family Law Group, P.C.,&nbsp;11508 West 183rd Place NW, Orland Park, IL 60467,&nbsp;<a href="mailto:info@sterkfamilylaw.com?subject=Sterk-Website-Contact" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">info@sterkfamilylaw.com, </a>Phone: <a href="tel:815-600-8950" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">(815) 600-8950</a> &bull; Fax: (815) 600-8519
