Leonidas “Leo” Bezanis II
Partner, Beermann LLP

Leonidas “Leo” Bezanis II is a Partner at Beermann LLP, one of the largest and most respected family law firms in the United States. Based in Chicago and working throughout Illinois, Leo represents individuals and families in complex, high-stakes matters involving divorce, custody, parentage, and related financial disputes. He is known for delivering clarity in the midst of chaos — blending deep legal knowledge with modern strategy, discretion, and a steady hand during times of change.

Leo’s practice frequently involves cases with business ownership, real estate portfolios, generational wealth, and sensitive parenting issues — including relocation, decision-making disputes, and parallel parenting. Drawing on nearly a decade of experience, he helps clients navigate some of the most consequential and emotionally charged chapters of their lives. No matter who he represents, Leo brings a forward-thinking approach designed to protect his clients’ long-term interests, not just “win” the moment.

Colleagues and clients alike describe him as a calm but formidable presence in and out of the courtroom. He has a rare talent for distilling complexity into clear, actionable steps, and his responsiveness and focus on efficient outcomes have earned him a reputation for delivering more than legal representation — he provides long-term peace of mind.

Beyond his casework, Leo is deeply committed to reshaping the divorce experience itself. He believes family law should be smarter, more strategic, and built for real life. Through his practice and public-facing efforts, he champions a modern approach: no noise, just the law — made simple.
