Nagle & Giese, P.C.

When I think about what Lisa did for my daughter and me, it honestly still overwhelms me. I did not start this custody case with Lisa. I had a different attorney at first, everything was going horribly wrong. I felt like I was drowning. I was worried, frustrated, and watching time with my daughter slip through my hands. As a father, there is nothing more painful than feeling like you might lose the ability to protect and raise your own child. Making the decision to fire my first attorney and hire Lisa was one of the most important decisions of mine and my daughter’s life. From the very first conversation, I felt something different. She listened. She understood. She saw what was at stake, and instantly got straight to work. I quickly see that she is a top tier attorney. She almost immediately got everything back on track. She is incredibly intelligent, strategic, and deeply knowledgeable about the DuPage County court system. She understands how that courthouse works, how judges think, and how to prepare for every scenario. But more than that- she genuinely cared for me, and my daughter’s future. I also had to get to work. I compiled every piece of information that I could to give her the best fighting chance. As a single father, you often feel like the system isn’t built for you. Full custody for a father is rare, and people will tell you it’s almost impossible. Lisa never made me feel like I was asking for too much. She believed in the truth. She believed in fighting for what was best for my daughter. Because of her dedication, preparation, and strength in court, I was awarded full custody of my little girl. That outcome changed our lives forever. Lisa did way more than just represent me in court, she stood beside me during one of the hardest chapters of my life. And I will always be grateful for what she did for my family. If you are a parent who truly loves your child and is willing to fight for them - especially fathers who feel like the odds are against them, don’t give up! It’s going to be hard, you will most certainly have sleepless nights, anxiety and stress. But I cannot recommend Lisa enough. She is exactly who you want in your corner! Thank you Lisa! and huge shout out to Robin! I’m forever grateful.

I have worked with Kathryn Walker for over three years, and I can say without hesitation that she is an exceptional family law attorney. From day one, she treated my case and my children as if they were her own. Because of her dedication, knowledge, and relentless effort, I was able to retain my kids and successfully handle every matter that came my way. Kathryn is not only highly skilled and strategic, but she is also deeply passionate about her work. She truly cares about her clients, listens carefully, and fights hard for what is right. Her attention to detail, responsiveness, and ability to navigate complex family law situations gave me confidence and peace of mind during some of the most difficult times of my life. I trust Kathryn completely. She has always been honest, supportive, and professional, while still being compassionate and understanding. Her work ethic is magnificent, and her commitment to her clients goes far beyond what you would expect from an attorney. If you are looking for a family lawyer who genuinely cares, works tirelessly, and delivers results, I cannot recommend Kathryn Walker highly enough.

I met Jane Nagle when I was in a very low place emotionally and financially. I'd had previous lawyers who never really listened to my concerns and seemed rather unwilling to fight for me. Jane changed all of that! She actually listened to me with compassion and understood my concerns. She immediately became a force that I had never witnessed in an attorney. She is brilliant, caring and STRONG! Jane Nagle helped so much and I will be forever grateful!! If you're looking for someone to truly be your champion, look no further.

Everyone at this law firm (special thanks to Jane, Hailey, and Maggie) was amazing and went out of their way to listen, communicate, and make sure we were prepared for court. Hailey represented us at the final hearing and couldn’t have done a better job - we were so impressed with her! I’m hoping I won’t have to go to court again anytime soon but I recommend choosing this law firm if you do.

I reached out to Jane Nagle a couple of months ago and after a few questions, she gave me the confidence that she was the right person for me. And without a hesitation I gathered all the information required for her to file my petition and today was the 341 meeting. I cannot believe everything moved so quickly. Her professional services are above and beyond my expectations, I highly recommend Attorney Jane Nagle from Nagle and Giese, P.C. In Wheaton, IL So thankful for her secretary Maggie as well! Amazing group of ladies!

I have been working with Jane as my attorney since 2017, and she consistently demonstrates a willingness to address my inquiries and provide sound advice. I highly recommend her services for anyone in need of legal assistance.

Great law firm with lawyers that actually care about your case and are honest if something is going to cost more than what its worth which is hard to find these days. I worked specifically with Hailey and Jane and they are both great lawyers and people who will make sure you know whats happening in your case and what your rights are. Hailey recently represented me at a hearing on something I was worried about but she was very prepared and confident and I ended up winning. The judge even went out of the way to compliment her at the end. Definitely recommend hiring this law firm!

I’m so glad I chose Nagle & Giese to represent me. They made everything very user friendly and when needed answered my questions in a timely manner. Hannah McKinney Kingrey is the best attorney I’ve had work for me. She is very knowledgeable and makes sure you understand everything. I was able to exhale knowing she was in control. The staff at the office was also very accommodating and went above to meet my needs. I highly recommend them!

Jane was very helpful answering any questions I had. Her and her team get back to you in a timely manner. At the end of the day, they want what’s best for their client. Thank you again!

I can’t say enough about how grateful I am to have Lisa and her team as my family attorney. From day one, she has been incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated to my case. She took the time to truly understand my situation and always made me feel heard and supported, even during the most stressful moments of my custody battle. Lisa is extremely thorough, strategic, and responsive. Her and her team communicates clearly, explains every step of the process. Her professionalism and persistence have been unmatched to the two previous lawyers ive had before her. Thanks to her hard work, we’ve achieved favorable outcomes on my family case. If you’re looking for an attorney who will fight for you while also guiding you with empathy and integrity, Lisa is the one you want by your side. I highly recommend her to anyone navigating difficult family law matters.

Hannah is one of the most diligent, passionate, and hardworking attorneys anyone could hope for. She and her staff are not only extremely professional but also very efficient and supportive throughout the entire process. Her integrity and determination to stand up and fight for what her clients truly deserve go far beyond expectations. Even within the strict rules of the court, she knows where to find opportunities, which shows both her skill and persistence. What impressed me most was not just her legal knowledge, but the way she communicates — clear, honest, and always reassuring. She never makes you feel like just another case; instead, she treats you with respect, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to your outcome. In a very difficult time, she was a true bright light and source of hope. My recommendation may only reflect my personal experience with her professionalism and character, but I share it with the hope that others will find the same strength, support, and success with her as I did.

I cannot say enough about how incredible Lisa Giese was throughout my case. From the very beginning, she handled my high-conflict ex and my relocation battle with precision, strategy, and compassion. My case involved a GAL, and countless obstacles, but Lisa never wavered. She was always prepared, clear in her advice, and unwaveringly professional, even when the other side was difficult. Lisa fought hard to protect my child’s best interests while also keeping me grounded and focused on what really mattered. She anticipated issues before they happened, communicated extremely well, and gave me the confidence to keep going when things felt overwhelming. Because of her expertise and dedication, I am now able to move forward with my child in a stable, supportive environment. Most importantly, my case is final and I got everything I wanted. If you are looking for an attorney who is not only exceptionally skilled but also genuinely invested in her clients and their families, I could not recommend Lisa enough. She is the one you want on your side.

Katie Haskins-Becker is a great attorney, and she did a fantastic job with my case! I highly recommend!

Their concern and commitment is second to none. My situation was unusual and despite a rocky start with miscommunication, this firm has gone above and beyond to make me feel supported, heard, and guided through a stressful process. A particular shout out to Hannah Kingery, who's attention and care has not only been exceptional, but a huge relief. My family's deepest thanks!

Nagle & Giese (Lisa Giese, specifically) has been representing me for 6 years in a variety of child custody-related issues as well as litigation brought on by DCFS. She handled trials, negotiations, drafted custody agreements and advised me through a variety of situations. While she is very impressive in trial (won against DCFS), she is also very practical, pragmatic and avoids unnecessary risks for the best outcome of her client. She has been always available to respond to any acute issues. She recommended and engaged excellent consultants that were always helpful in my case (parenting coordinator, expert witnesses, child psychological counselors). She knows and is known by judges she works with and seem to understand their individual logics/ways of thinking and advises according to what may be attainable with each individual judge. Litigation is never cheap but I feel her fees are reasonable and I never felt overcharged for her services. In trial, she is extremely well prepared, learns the case inside and out, makes fluid and very articulate arguments that for the best outcome possible. On a personal level, I found her compassionate, kind, and always patient with me. I highly recommend her for any high-conflict custody battles, as GAL, representation against DCFS — cases she represented me in.

When Nagle and Giese took over my divorce case, it was a godsend. I went from being short on parenting time and having absolutely no disposable income, to an environment that let me have some latitude in my finances as well as having the time, space, and energy to rebuild relationship with my sons. I can't give them enough stars for the care, integrity, and attention that they showed me and my case, and I've been with them for over a decade and will always be.

I have been working with Lisa Giese & her Team for about 4 years. Lisa & her Team are knowledgeable, respond timely and bill fairly. What I appreciate most about Lisa is her candor. She has earned my trust, and do not doubt her counsel is in my best interest. I would HIGHLY recommend Lisa to anyone looking for guidance on divorce or family law related matters.

Lisa Giese is an amazing attorney! She is caring, professional, and always goes above and beyond. I felt supported and well-guided every step of the way. Highly recommend her!

Ate up retainer and withdrew. They didn't even petition for discovery from other party. I cannot pay because someone perjured themselves to try and steal money. It's one reason you get a lawyer. They explained almost nothing to me and what was discussed appeared to be out of annoyance. I received an "explanation" as the lawyer left the firm which made absolutely no sense. Paralgel seemed to have fun antagonizing me. Some major mistakes were found on documents later; I have a difficult time recommending this firm and suggesting that others would trust them from what I saw.
