Domestic attorney has wealth of legal experience
By Bridget Malone  

   Matrimonial and domestic law has become increasingly complicated. One positive trend that attorney Christopher Carroll has noticed is courts are moving away from some of the gender bias common in matrimonial cases years ago.

   "The courts have become much more educated and are becoming increasingly more fair", said Carroll of the Law Office of Christopher S. Carroll.  Carroll tries to simplify the legal process for his clients by taking on cases that run the gamut of matrimonial law: marriage dissolution, child support, child custody, disputes over visitation, among other related situations.

    Through his 24 years of litigating cases, Carroll has amassed significant trial experience.  In April 2002 Carroll represented former Illinois Congressman Mel Reynolds in a trial where the embattled politician was accused of domestic violence against his wife Marisol.

    Carroll also gained experience in other facets of the law. For six years he served as an insurance industry claims attorney for a Fortune 500 insurance company in the western United States.  Carroll argued cases with claims of $1 million and higher during that time.

     In the mid -90's Carroll was included in the Who's Who in America Law list, an honor given only to top legal professionals around the country.  Later in the decade  Carroll decided to move closer to his family and returned to Chicago.  In July 1997 Carrol founded his own firm. While Carroll is the only attorney on staff, he's not the only Carroll: His wife Min serves as accountant and manager.

     Since then, Carroll, has been arguing criminal defense cases, DUI and license reinstatement cases and some bankruptcy cases.  But the bulk of his practice is matrimonial law.

     When taking on a matrimonial case, Carroll says he recommends his clients seek counseling to help deal with the stress.  

     "Divorce is emotionally traumatizing," Carroll said.  "It's most important for a litigant to manage his or her emotions, so I recommend that they see a qualified counselor".

       Another tip Carroll gives anyone on the verge of a divorce is to seek an attorney sensitive to his or her situation and needs.

     "I'm very attuned to the emotional and legal needs of my clients, and I understand I'm a fiduciary who wants to treat my clients with fairness," Carroll said.
