Thank you North Shore Real Producers for this opportunity to share about my journey in life and real estate!

Judy Maldonado has always had a passion for the law and for helping people. Since the age of six, she knew she wanted to become a lawyer.

“My parents would watch L.A. Law and I would sneak into the room to watch it with them,” she explains. “I was fascinated with the way the lawyers talked and the way they dressed. While most kids wanted to play house, I always asked to play courtroom!”

Judy started practicing law in 2003 at a small, general practice firm in Chicago, and it’s where she fell in love with real estate law. She loved that it was an area of law that usually had a happy ending at each transaction and decided that was where she wanted to focus her practice.

Within five years of working as an attorney in Chicago, Judy became partner at the firm she was at.

Although she worked in Chicago, she lived in Lake County, and by 2012, the commute was wearing on her. She was spending less time with her husband, Javier, and their two children, Anjali and Aliya. And after losing their third child, Mateo, when he was just a day old from an infection he caught in the hospital, Judy’s priorities shifted.
