Family Lawyer

PArtner
Gökçe leads the family law practice. She guides clients through divorce, custody and property matters, with a strong preference for settlement and a steady hand when a case goes to trial.
02 - biography
Gökçe joined CRN in 2017 after three years at a Chicago family law firm and a clerkship in the Domestic Relations Division of the Circuit Court of Cook County. She became a partner in 2022. Her clients are often parents and business owners going through a divorce with real assets and real stakes for their children. She is known for clear financial disclosures, practical parenting plans, and mediation that actually ends in agreement.
Families don’t end in court. They change shape. A good settlement makes the next ten years easier, not just the next month.
