Nicholas J. Galasso
Nicholas Galasso joined the
Law Offices of William J. Stogsdill, Jr., P.C. in 2007 following a
successful and distinguished career as both attorney and judge.
After twelve years as a private practitioner concentrating in the areas
of corporations, tax, probate and divorce matters, he began his judicial
career in 1995 when he was appointed Associate Judge in DuPage County.
He presided over a number of different court calls during his twelve
year career as a judge, including serving in the criminal, civil,
juvenile and domestic relations divisions. While serving on the
bench in the Domestic Relations Division, he made numerous presentations
to practicing lawyers and other judges in multiple areas of family law
and participated as a panelist at seminars for judges and lawyers.
While in the Domestic Relations Division, he presided over several
hundred cases at one time, and either settled or tried cases involving
complex business litigation, difficult child custody disputes and other
contested matters involving all aspects of family law.
Nicholas Galasso received
his undergraduate degree from Illinois Wesleyan University and his Juris
Doctorate from De Paul College of Law. He has served as an adjunct
professor at Aurora University in Aurora, Illinois. He is married
and has two grown children. The addition of Nicholas Galasso
further strengthens the law practice of the Law Offices of William J.
Stogsdill, Jr., P.C., one of the most highly respected matrimonial law
firms in the State of Illinois. Members of the firm include widely
recognized attorneys in the divorce field, as well as past and present
leaders of the Illinois, DuPage County and American Bar Associations.
While in private practice before he became an Associate Judge, he practiced in the area of taxation and accounting related to individuals and corporations, both those closely held or family owned and publically traded corporations. His experience in taxation and accounting of corporations lends itself well to representing divorce clients who have an ownership in an ongoing business, particularly those clients who have a family or small business. Additionally, he also has wide experience with respect to taxation and accounting related to partnerships, sole proprietorships and other forms of business ownership. His tax and accounting background also allows him to understand and provide sound advice regarding all issues of taxation in divorce matters.
