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!

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’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!

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!

Best of the best for family courts , I work with Kathryn and she is the best out there

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.

Hi , I want to give a special thank you to Kathryn walker and Cindy Swenson for walking me through all the steps with finalizing my attorney needs also I would’ve been lost with out their help .I really appreciate the company and would surely recommend their services to my fellow family members and friends once again thank you all so very much sincerely Carline Williams. 09/18/2025

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!

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!

I cannot express enough how professional this law firm is. They truly care, respond quickly to any and all inquiries and show a level of experience that can be difficult to find. I appreciate everything and would recommend them hands down!

Absolutely recommend Attorney Lisa Giese. She handled extremely difficult contentious OP matters related to a 3 year enflamed disaster of a divorce and accomplished getting me protections - now from 3 parties on the other side. Lisa Giese is a very knowledgeable, well informed, intelligent, and efficient attorney. She crafted a solution to accomplish my goals in short order after assessing the situation. And she was successful in delivering results. I highly recommend Lisa!!

Lisa is an exceptional attorney with a deep understanding of the law and an impressive ability to navigate the legal system. Her knowledge of the judges and the way she anticipates courtroom dynamics give her a strategic edge that sets her apart. Beyond her legal expertise, Lisa’s tenacity is truly remarkable. She is a bulldog , and unafraid to take on tough challenges. She doesn’t back down when fighting for what’s right, and her dedication is evident in everything she does.

I use Lisa Giese for post decree family court issues in Kane County. My ex was not following our divorce decree. I initially used a Cook county attorney for my divorce but wanted someone closer post decree. When I spoke to other suburban attorneys, they didn’t want to fight and told me to just be happy with what my ex was giving me even though it was less than and in violation of our court ordered decree. Lisa is kind, super responsive, great with numbers, amazing in trial, knowledgeable and strategic in the way of letting you know when to fight and when it’s just not worth it. She is well respected among her peers and judges. The entire office staff is friendly, responsive and such a great support. I am so thankful to have found Lisa and have her in my corner.

I have been so impressed with the work of Jane Nagle from Nagle & Giese. She is highly professional, efficient and really worked to get the best legal deal for me. I will work with her and her colleagues again!

Great company. Highly recommend. Contact me if you're unsure.
