Divorce, Chicago Style: Tales of Love (And Hate) as Witnessed by a Divorce Attorney

This collection of actual divorce cases will make you cringe, laugh, shake your head in disbelief and disgust—and, yes, even smile. (Larry Ben Avraham throws in a couple heartfelt situations for relief!) For more than three decades, Avraham, a respected attorney and financial forensic Certified Public Accountant, has specialized in representing Chicagoans embroiled in divorce actions—most of which are unpleasant, spiteful, and painful. He has watched countless adults transform from loving couples into well-trained pit bulls and asset grabbers extraordinaire. These toxic adventures became so pervasive, he began to keep a record of the untoward and sometimes unbelievable things people inflicted on each other when their marriages soured and vengeance replaced love. Along the way, he realized these stories were the perfect fodder for a book—which is how Divorce, Chicago Style came to be written.
