CARLTON R. MARCYAN

Carlton R. Marcyan is a seasoned divorce lawyer who specializes in litigation, financial issues, conflict resolution, mediation, as well as the Collaborative Process. “My skills in accounting, financial analysis, negotiation, and litigation supplemented with the ability to problem solve and help people in the most difficult of situations have been a key part of my success,” explains Marcyan, a Senior Partner, CPA, and Certified Financial Planner at Schiller DuCanto & Fleck LLP in Lake Forest. “You must love challenges and be able to deal with intense conflict in family law. Starting out in the business world but wanting an occupation that was constantly challenging, never dull, and required problem solving skills, family law provided me that opportunity all the while helping others.” He recognizes that each case is unique, therefore requiring its own unique approach. “The first thing I tell my clients is that I will listen carefully to what they tell me and guide and advise them through one of the most difficult times in their lives,” says Marcyan, who lives in Lake Forest with wife, Ana, also an attorney; they have three grown children and a 4-year-old grandchild. “I enjoy the great respect of lawyers and judges throughout Illinois and across the country because of my skills resulting from my education, experience, and financial savvy helping me stand out from the others.” In addition to his law degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago, he holds an MBA and Master of Arts in Conflict Resolution. Marcyan has been awarded the distinction of being the top family lawyer in the Chicago area and is the former managing partner of his firm.
