Plano, IL -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/20/2015 -- Colosimo Law Office proudly announces attorney Carlo Colosimo was recently named one of the "Top 10 Family Law Attorneys in the State" by the American Institute of Family Law Attorneys. This is not the first time Colosimo has been honored by a leading organization. In April 2015, Colosimo was honored to be chosen as one of "The Nation's Top One Percent" by the National Association of Distinguished Council.

"According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 851,000 divorces or annulments took place in 2012, at a rate of 3.4 per 1,000 total population. During this same year, 2,131,000 marriages occurred, at a rate of 6.8 per 1,000 total population. Of these marriages, it is estimated that 50 percent will end in divorce. When two partners opt to end their relationship, a family law attorney will be needed and Colosimo Law Office (http://www.colosimolawoffice.com/attorney-services/) is ready to assist individuals throughout this difficult time," Carlo Colosimo states.

Courts often appoint a Guardian Ad Litem in family law matters involving children or recommend mediation when two parties cannot come to an agreement. The Guardian Ad Litem works to determine the best interests of the child in matters involving custody, although the court makes the ultimate decision as to where a child resides. Mediation may play a role in this, as it offers a way for the parties to resolve non-criminal matters through compromise, settlement or reconciliation.

"During the course of my practice, I have opted to become a certified Guardian Ad Litem. As a parent, I understand how difficult it can be to allow one's children to reside with the other parent. The goal is to determine what is best for the children and this is what I strive to do at all times. Mediation is another technique used to reduce conflict within a divorce, thus I have also opted to become a certified mediator, as I want to assist my clients in every way possible," Colosimo continues.

Individuals often find they need assistance in other legal matters. When one has been injured in a motor vehicle accident or one has become a victim of medical malpractice, an attorney should be contacted. The same holds true when one has been charged with one or more crimes.

"Contact our office when you need assistance with any legal matter. In addition to handling family law cases, we work with clients in need of personal injury legal representation (http://www.colosimolawoffice.com/personal-injury-law/), those forming a business and individuals accused of a crime. Dealing with the legal system is never easy. Our office works to smooth the process as much as possible," Colosimo explains.
