Reviews

• 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.
• 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.
• Had a formal appointment over the phone to talk about my parents case with Hailey M. McGillivray. She said she would send me the contract/agreement about her rates and fees so we could start the process. She never sent them. I called 3 days in row to follow up regarding the contract and the assistances kept on saying she left her a message to get back to me. If you’re too busy to get to the case or don’t want to do business just say that. It was unprofessional.
• 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!!
• Alex Rothenberg served as the court-appointed GAL (Guardian ad Litem) in my case, and my experience with her was deeply troubling. Despite initially appearing engaged by asking questions and taking notes, she failed to address any of my concerns, displayed a clear bias toward my ex-wife, and accepted her statements as truth without requiring any supporting evidence. Alex prematurely removed herself from the case, leaving critical issues unresolved and contributing to an outcome where my daughter has been denied fair and equal time with both parents. Her actions violated several key statutes and guidelines that GALs are required to follow in Illinois, including: 750 ILCS 5/506(a)(2): GALs must conduct an independent investigation, including interviews and a review of relevant documents, and provide an objective recommendation to the court. Alex failed to conduct a thorough investigation or verify evidence, instead relying on unchecked statements from my ex-wife. Best Interest of the Child Standard (750 ILCS 5/602.7): GALs are required to prioritize the child’s well-being and ensure meaningful relationships with both parents unless there is clear evidence to the contrary. Alex’s biased and incomplete recommendations directly harmed my daughter’s ability to have a fair and balanced relationship with both parents. Ethical Obligations of Attorneys and GALs: GALs are required to avoid personal bias, remain neutral, and act in a professional manner that serves the child’s best interests. Alex’s personal bias against me was evident and unprofessional, resulting in recommendations that prioritized her own prejudice over the needs of a 5-year-old child. To make matters worse, Alex’s conduct was part of a broader pattern within her firm. Other members of her firm displayed similarly unethical behavior, including inflated billing practices, misrepresentations to the court, and a general failure to uphold professional standards. Alex’s unprofessional and unethical behavior, combined with her failure to follow required statutes, caused irreparable harm to my daughter’s well-being. Her actions were not only a disservice to the court but also a direct violation of the trust placed in her to act in the best interests of the child. Avoid Alex Rothenberg and her entire firm. Their lack of professionalism, integrity, and accountability makes them unfit for any legal matter, particularly those involving children.
