Attorney James M. DiVerde Jr.

About Me

As an attorney, I strive to listen to my clients and provide them with pragmatic solutions to their legal needs. My practice is concentrated on commercial and estate transactions and litigation. I represent individuals and small-to-medium sized businesses in matters ranging from:

​

• Corporate and LLC Formation and Transactions

• Business Disputes

• Commercial and Residential Real Estate Transactions

• Estate Planning 

• Probate & Trust Administration

• Trust & Will Disputes

​

As for me personally, I call Rockford home and live here with my spouse and children. My weekends are spent hanging with my family and friends, driving kids to sporting events, staying active at the YMCA, cooking, and reading. Prior to becoming an attorney, I served in the United States Marine Corps, worked as a program management consultant, and volunteered as a CASA for Kane County, Illinois.

​

Supporting my community is also important to me. I am a past board president of the Veterans Drop-In Center, and a current board member of the Discovery Center Museum. My pro bono representation focuses on organizations that support veterans, children, and the environment.
