Katina S. Haloulos

Attorney Bio

Katina S. Haloulos is a Senior Associate at A. Traub & Associates, bringing over two decades of legal experience to the firm's family law practice. Based in Lombard, Illinois, Katina focuses on high-conflict divorce and custody matters, with particular skill in navigating cases involving complex emotional dynamics and high-conflict personalities, including narcissistic personality disorder (NPD).

Katina began her legal career as a prosecutor with the Office of Corporation Counsel for the City of Chicago. She later became one of the youngest Administrative Law Judges in Illinois history while serving with the Illinois Commerce Commission. Her years of experience on both sides of the bench have provided her with invaluable insight into litigation strategy, legal interpretation, and client advocacy.

For nearly a decade, Katina has concentrated her practice exclusively on family law, representing clients in contested divorces, parenting disputes, spousal maintenance issues, post-decree litigation, and complex property division. She is particularly effective in cases involving emotional manipulation, narcissistic abuse, gaslighting, coercive control, and blame-shifting—bringing calm, strength, and clear strategy to clients facing psychologically charged situations.

Katina is deeply committed to protecting her clients—both emotionally and financially—throughout the legal process. Her ability to blend strong litigation skills with emotional intelligence makes her a powerful advocate for those going through some of life's most difficult transitions.

Katina lives in Elmhurst with her two children and is actively involved in local community and charitable initiatives.
