Attorney Elizabeth Chacko has been practicing law since 2004 and during that time has focused exclusively on family law. Unlike many other family law attorneys, she was trained and certified as a mediator through the Mediation Council of Illinois. Attorney Chacko is a Wheaton divorce mediator, who also acts as a court-appointed guardian ad litem. A guardian ad litem is the legal representative of children during divorce, child custody disputes and other issues such as suspected abuse.

We know how hard divorce and other family law issues can be for people. That is why we are committed to providing our clients with service that is tailored to your situation.

“I became a family law attorney because it gives me the opportunity to help people — both financially and emotionally.” — Attorney Elizabeth Chacko
