Bloomington Law Group LLC

Our Firm

Bloomington Law Group LLC

Attorneys Michelle Schneiderheinze and Jon D. McLaughlin

We first worked together in the chambers of Federal Judge Joe McDade in 2005. Since that time, we have taken paths that have led through several law firms and even a few States. In December 2010, Attorney Schneiderheinze opened her own law firm in Bloomington Illinois, focusing on legal issues relating to consumer debt relief (including bankruptcy), divorce, child custody, and special education. In July 2013, we decided to form the firm of Bloomington Law Group LLC. We wanted to offer our clients better service and more reasonable rates. There are many ideas and experiences that each of us have brought to this firm, and we strive to provide the best legal representation in the Central Illinois Area. We work closely with our clients, and we treat each client like family. Bloomington/Normal is a small enough area that we practically are all family. We also feel that there are creative payment options that we can offer to our clients that will enable them to hire our firm without spending their last dime. It is important to us that our clients feel that our firm is working for their best interests and not simply trying to make a buck off of them.

Our firm handles a variety of civil and criminal legal issues. Predominantly, our firm deals with Divorce and other Family Law Matters, Bankruptcy, Special Education, Estate Planning, and Civil Litigation. If you have any questions for us, please call our bloomington office in order to schedule a free consultation.

Bloomington Illinois Divorce Attorney -- Jon D. McLaughlin

I grew up in Provo, Utah, but moved to Oklahoma in order to finish my bachelor’s degree in philosophy and ancient greek at Oklahoma State University. I then attended law school at the University of Illinois. While in law school, I was an Associate Editor of a journal published by the university. Also during this time, I worked for law firms in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Indianapolis, Indiana, and for the Honorable Joe McDade (a Federal Judge, sitting in Peoria).

While still in law school, the Illinois Supreme Court allowed me to practice law and represent clients under Rule 711. This allowed me to gain valuable experience, early on, that has served me well in my subsequent practice.

After law school, I moved to Bloomington, Illinois, and have been practicing law here since that time. While I have handled business transactions and litigation in the past, some involving more than $10,000,000, I now limit my practice to family law matters. I handle divorce, custody, child support, visitation, and other matters that require the court’s attention. I have had much success in getting my clients promising results because of my firm and aggressive approach.

I am a Guardian ad Litem, which means that the courts appoint me to investigate child custody, visitation, and other matters. These appointments have helped me become a better advocate for children and to toughen my position in fighting for my clients.

I am a Mediator, approved by the Eleventh Judicial Circuit of Illinois, to conduct court-ordered Custody Mediation for parties who are in the midst of custody and/or visitation disputes in the Bloomington-Normal area. In addition to being certified to mediate custody and visitation issues, I am also certified to mediate financial issues in divorce and family law cases in McLean County. These issues include Child Support, Maintenance (Alimony), the assets and debts of the parties, and other matters relating to the financial side of family law cases. I am also a member of the Mediation Council of Illinois. Due to my experience in the area, I am able to advise my clients as to how they can achieve the best results in mediation. In the Eleventh Circuit, mediation is mandatory in visitation and custody disputes. Therefore, it is important to be well-advised when participating in mediation and negotiating a possible resolution to your case.

The majority of my cases are tried in McLean County; however, I also practice in other surrounding counties.
