Abandoned in Open Court - Beware of Brad Erdman…read more Review: If you are looking for an attorney to protect your family and your assets, look elsewhere. I retained Bradley Erdman at Mirabella, Kincaid, Frederick & Mirabella, LLC (MKFM Law) for a child custody and financial enforcement case. On March 4, 2026, during an active custody status hearing, I asked him a few standard, clarifying questions about the court process and our strategy for enforcing a major financial judgment. Instead of answering me, Brad became completely dismissive and abruptly withdrew as my attorney right there in open court. He left me completely unrepresented in front of the judge during a critical moment in my custody case. A family law attorney is supposed to be your advocate during highly stressful times. Brad Erdman proved that if you ask questions or expect clear communication, he will cut and run, leaving you entirely exposed. I am now filing a formal grievance with the state disciplinary commission. Protect yourself and find counsel who actually honors their ethical obligations to their clients. #MKFMLaw #DuPageCounty #WheatonIL #FamilyLaw #DivorceAttorney #ChildCustody

She was able to process my uncontested divorce in 8 months- as there were delays with my ex's lawyer, illness, injuries, and all the things.

I would recommend her if you want a lawyer who is highly respected at court, and are okay with your case not being her only priority.

Above and beyond her skills in the collaborative process, she cares deeply for her clients and is good at figuring out any underlying issues of what might be going on.

Theresa supported me beautifully and led us through the process smoothly.

We followed through but I wish I'd just hired Theresa from the outset- feel free to learn from my experience. She and Trinity succeeded in several key areas where many others did not: communication, explanation , flexibility, billing. Theresa has a paralegal and an assistant and no email or call ever went unanswered. Most responses were same day or within 24 hours. Every time I needed something explained and reexplained they ALWAYS did so with patience and professionalism and would write it down for me. Theresa and Tribity were willing to work with our mediator but still complete the other portions of the divorce, which many attorneys won't do. Trinity has a monthly billing review which is automatically sent and you always see the hourly billing and rates and they take multiple forms of payment. Very transparent. So professional. Believe me, many attorneys and mediators aren't so organized. In my divorce there were many bumps in the road and problems and it drew out for a long time. Theresa and her whole team were very humane to me and were sometimes the only bright spot in the process- they were people to rely on and I hope if you're in the same boat as me an my kids were that you find the same respite in Theresa Kulat and Trinity.

Throughout it all, Megan was always attentive to my needs as a client. She was incredibly responsive, promptly answering my emails and phone calls, even while on vacation with her family. When my expectations were unrealistic or if I was overreacting, Megan was direct yet respectful in guiding me back to reality, even if I didn't see it in the moment. In any legal case, compromises are inevitable, but Megan and her team worked tirelessly to secure the most fair and balanced agreement possible. Her goal is always to craft a comprehensive agreement that minimizes the likelihood of needing her services in the future. Even after my case was resolved, Megan has continued to provide support, answering any questions without making me feel like a burden or that I was no longer a priority or her client. I highly recommend Lafata Law for any of your legal needs.
