Two area lawyers with over 40 years of combined experience have opened a law firm in downtown Champaign. Ellyn Bullock and Kristin Solberg have formed Solberg & Bullock, LLC in the old train station in Champaign at 100 N. Chestnut St., Suite 230.     

Previously, Ellyn served as a law clerk to U.S. District Judge Harold Baker, a legal writing and research professor at the University of Illinois College of Law, and as a private practitioner in Champaign. Her practice is predominantly in the area of adoption, including international, domestic, DCFS, agency, related, independent, and contested adoptions, and she has finalized adoptions for over a thousand children in courtrooms all over Illinois.   

Ellyn also represents plaintiffs in federal and state court in personal injury matters and violations of constitutional rights.

Kristin has been in private practice and concentrates in all areas of family law; criminal law; and traffic law. She does primarily contested litigation, but is trained in various forms of mediation and is one of few area Collaborative Divorce practitioners, (divorce without court intervention).  She is also a Family Law Financial mediator, and a mediator for the Sixth Judicial Circuit’s Residential Mortgage Foreclosure Mandatory Mediation Program.  

Ellyn graduated from the University of Chicago and Kristin from Brown University. Both are University of Illinois College of Law graduates.
