Gabriela O. Asrow
Managing Partner
Gabriela O. Asrow is a Chicago family law attorney who guides clients through divorce and parentage matters with clear strategy and steady advocacy. Following her experience at a prominent Chicago family law firm, she joined Hoffenberg & Block in 2016. Since then, Gabriela has handled cases involving the allocation of parental responsibilities, parenting time, child support, relocation, property division and maintenance, pre- and post-nuptial agreements, adoption, and orders of protection. A certified mediator and collaboratively trained lawyer, she brings settlement skills and courtroom experience to every case.
Practical, multi-path solutions—grounded in experience and empathy.
Gabriela tailors strategy to the family and the facts: negotiate when it advances the client’s goals; litigate when it does not. Drawing on years at Chicago boutique firms, judicial experience in the Domestic Relations Division, and formal ADR training, she keeps clients informed, reduces unnecessary conflict, and pursues durable outcomes that protect children, finances, and long-term stability.
Testimonial
“Gabriela Asrow (and Gloria Block) fought and gave me my freedom. Gabriela was determined, reasonable, and focused. Gabriela is so amazing for a number of reasons, far more than I can list. Gabriela explained the law to me, the situation, and what a judge would consider reasonable and what they would not. The difference between other lawyers telling me ‘no’ and Gabriela explaining why something I wanted was not feasible created a situation where I could reassess my needs and allowed me to be reasonable and flexible. Gabriela also ensured I knew that something I needed was within my rights and doable. Gabriela helped me avoid a number of problems with my ex by either setting me straight or helping me understand the greater situation. Gabriela used every interaction for work on my case - no small talk, no personal information, just work - which I appreciate more than I can express. While Gabriela is warm and supportive, she’s there to help and get the job done, and she knows it. Gabriela stuck with me when my post-allocation went from frustrating to all-out chaos and defended me better than I could have imagined. Watching Gabriela in court is like watching a savant practice their talent. I don’t know how she can keep so much technical knowledge at the front of her mind, but she does, and she does not get rattled. Again, I would not be free without Gabriela. I can say that honestly and with full belief. I will never be able to thank Gabriela (and Gloria) enough.”
