Chicago Divorce and Family Law Lawyers
KHK Family Law & Divorce Attorneys, LLC was formed through the merger of established solo practices in late 2023 and early 2024, uniting nearly 70 years of combined legal experience under one firm. Attorney Gershon Kulek, after a long and distinguished career practicing family law in Illinois, sought to transition his successful practice to the next generation of attorneys who share his deep commitment to excellence, professionalism, and client advocacy.
Attorney Matthew Katz, a respected member of the North Side Chicago community, partnered with Attorney Kulek to ensure a seamless continuation of these values.
Mr. Katz brings a distinctive and well-rounded perspective to family law, holding both a Master’s in Social Work and an MBA from the University of Chicago. This advanced training uniquely positions him to navigate not only the legal complexities of family law matters, but also the emotional, interpersonal, and financial considerations that clients face during some of life’s most difficult transitions. Attorney Katz previously ran his own law firm for some fifteen years at which he supervised a dozen attorneys and forty support staff, with three offices in Chicago, two in the suburbs and one in Mexico City. He also teaches courses in psychotherapy at the University of Chicago.

Throughout the case, Vladimir Teletanski kept me informed every step of the way. He communicated regularly, was transparent with billing, and always made sure I understood what was happening with my son’s case. I hired him specifically to help with child support matters and to secure my son’s rights as a father, and he exceeded every expectation.
The child support system in Illinois is extremely complex, but thanks to Vladimir’s knowledge, dedication, and strategic approach, I was able to secure rights for my son that I honestly did not think were possible. His professionalism and commitment truly made a difference in our lives.
I also want to recognize the paralegal team for their hard work, kindness, and organization throughout the process. They were always helpful, responsive, and made sure everything moved smoothly and efficiently.
I highly recommend this firm to anyone dealing with family law or child support issues. They genuinely care about their clients and fight for the best possible outcome. Thank you!
Lakeya’s attention to detail and strong understanding of the legal process helped ensure everything was handled properly and efficiently. She was always prepared, communicated clearly, and kept me informed about the progress of my case.
What I appreciated most was her professionalism and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome. She truly advocates for her clients and works diligently on their behalf.
I am very grateful for her guidance and would confidently recommend Lakeya Washington to anyone looking for a skilled, trustworthy, and reliable attorney.
I highly recommend KHK Family Law to anyone seeking a team of experts who will prioritize your well-being throughout a legal situation.
Instead of jumping straight into money or logistics, Jaciel took the time to ask about my story and how I got to this point. That level of compassion honestly brought me to tears and made me feel validated during a very overwhelming process. It helped me feel calmer and more confident about moving forward.
Although I ultimately chose a different option due to financial reasons, I am still very thankful for the kindness, empathy, and clarity I was shown. That conversation meant more to me than I can fully express.
I would highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for attorneys and staff who truly treat you like a person, not just a case.
