DiBella & Laurean LLC keeps its Addison office open until 6 PM on weekdays and offers appointments at its Chicago location, a scheduling structure built around clients who cannot afford to lose a workday to reach a lawyer.
Introduction
DiBella & Laurean LLC operates from its primary office at 45 N Addison, Addison, IL 60101, with a secondary location available by appointment at 22 W Washington St 1500, Chicago, IL 60602. The firm handles a broad range of legal matters for residents throughout Cook County and DuPage County, serving communities including Addison, Maywood, Rolling Meadows, Skokie, and surrounding areas. Attorneys at the firm bring more than 20 years of combined experience to every case and represent clients in both criminal and civil courts across Illinois.
The firm’s reach spans five distinct practice areas: personal injury, family law, real estate, criminal defense, and traffic matters. This breadth means that clients facing multiple legal issues do not need to find separate firms for each problem. A client going through a divorce who is also dealing with a personal injury claim can work with DiBella & Laurean on both matters. The firm serves clients in English and Spanish.
Practice Areas
Personal Injury
The personal injury practice covers accidents and incidents in which another party’s negligence caused harm. The firm pursues compensation for medical expenses, lost income, and other damages that flow from those injuries. Clients are advised on their rights and what the claims process involves, so they understand what to expect at each stage.
Family Law
Family law matters handled by DiBella & Laurean include divorce proceedings, child custody disputes, and child support. Divorce affects finances, living arrangements, and parenting relationships simultaneously, and the firm helps clients work through each of those dimensions. Child custody matters are approached with attention to the legal standards courts apply in Illinois and to the practical realities of the family’s situation.
Real Estate
The real estate practice includes eviction lawsuits and 1031 exchange filings. Landlords dealing with non-paying or non-compliant tenants can pursue eviction proceedings with the firm’s assistance. Property owners seeking to defer capital gains taxes through a 1031 exchange receive guidance on the requirements and timelines those transactions demand.
Criminal Defense
The firm represents clients facing criminal charges in Cook County and DuPage County courts. The criminal defense practice covers the full range of charges clients may encounter, from misdemeanor matters to more serious felony accusations. The firm’s approach is to ensure clients understand what they are facing and what the defense options are before making decisions about how to proceed.
Traffic Tickets
Traffic violations can carry consequences beyond the fine itself, including points on a license, insurance rate increases, and in some cases license suspension. The firm handles traffic ticket matters for clients who want to contest a citation or minimize its impact.

The primary office is located at 45 N Addison, Addison, IL 60101, and is open Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 6 PM.

The extended weekday hours until 6 PM and the availability of a Chicago appointment location reflect an understanding that clients’ lives do not pause during standard business hours. The firm uses advanced technology to maintain communication with clients throughout their matters.
