Your Family’s Lawyers in DuPage County
The Attorneys at Antoniolli, Cerny & Winthers, P.C. Possess a Wealth of Knowledge and Experience
DuPage Family | Real Estate | Estate Planning Attorneys
Founded in 1987, the firm was built on a principle that has withstood the test of time, one it still leads with today: See People First. In practice, that means committing its attorneys’ wisdom and expertise to their clients’ interests, above all else. Through decades of economic ups and downs, that principle has cemented the reputation of Antoniolli, Cerny & Winthers, P.C. as a leader in legal representation across the Chicago suburbs, and it remains ingrained in every attorney at the firm today.
Our attorneys bring a depth of knowledge and experience across residential and commercial real estate, divorce and family law, wills, trusts and probate, criminal, traffic and DUI defense, and business services — including small business formation. We understand that every case demands particular attention. No two cases are alike, because no two clients are alike, and we work to meet each client’s specific goals and expectations at every step.
For Nearly Four Decades, the Attorneys of Antoniolli, Cerny & Winthers, P.C. Have Protected the Interests of Thousands of Clients Across the Chicago Suburbs
The practice began on Roosevelt Road in Wheaton, Illinois. As the firm grew in its early years, it relocated to its current offices on the corner of County Farm and Geneva Roads in Winfield. Over the decades since, the firm’s attorneys have distinguished themselves both in their advocacy for clients and in their service to the legal community — as directors, general counsels, and committee chairs for state and local bar associations — while protecting the interests of thousands of individuals and families throughout the Chicagoland area.
Today, managing partners Axel R. Cerny and Maria G. Antoniolli lead the firm, continuing — alongside founding partner David J. Winthers and the firm’s attorneys — to provide clients the highest quality of legal services. The firm concentrates in family law, residential and commercial real estate, estate planning — including wills, trusts and probate — small business and general corporate law, criminal defense, and civil and general contract litigation. Antoniolli, Cerny & Winthers, P.C. primarily serves clients in DuPage, Kane, Cook, and Will counties, but our attorneys are glad to explore how we can meet your needs regardless of location.
