About Tina
Biography
As an attorney who has been in and out of the courtroom daily for the last 10 years, I have confirmed what I have always known that I am glad that I became a lawyer. My ability to look at both sides of an issue and antcipate the way the prosecution or the opposition will present an argument helps me when going to trial in a case or negotiating settlements. I am passionate about helping my clients!
Thank you to both of my parents who encouraged me to study hard and pursue my goals. I graduated with honors from Eastern Illinois University in only three years and went on to attend DePaul University College of Law, where I met my husband (and fellow attorney). I currently live in the Northern Suburbs with my husband and a stuffed panda.

Excellent!
I retained Tina as my divorce lawyer in April 2016. She was very thorough and handled my case extremely well. Tina was very quick to respond to any questions I had and I felt very confident that she had my and my son's best interests in mind. I would very highly recommend Tina!

She knew what she was doing and she actually cared!
I have never had a better experience with a lawyer, and unfortunately I've had more than my fair share. Tina didn't just talk like she knew what she was doing but she got my case dismissed! But what made me want to write this review more than getting a favorable outcome, I felt she was truly concer...

Great lawyer! I will be hiring her again when I get another ticket.
She made a deal with the state attorney before we went up to see the judge and I couldn't have been happier with the results. I ended up paying more in court costs than I did for fines! I would recommend her to anyone.

Review of Tina Gagliano from a previous client
I requested for Ms Gagliano to represent me in the court against a false allegation made against me which resulted in a false arrest. This was in 2007 and she must have just been licenced to practice law as she had next to no expereince in handling the case and gave me a series of very bad advice. Si...

Replied last January 22, 2010Correction to this "anonymous" post: The misconduct complaint filed by this former client was unfounded and the case was closed after a full investigation by the licensing agency, not because the client withdrew it or did not proceed on her claim.

"I endorse this lawyer. I give Ms. Gagliano my highest recommendation. I have been a trial attorney for 17 years and have worked with and against literally hundreds of attorneys. Ms. Gagliano is one of the best. I recently conducted a hearing with her where the judge stated that Ms. Gagliano had given one of the best closing arguments that she (the Judge) had seen in years. The judge perceived correctly. Ms. Gagliano is sharp, witty, organized and no matter what court room she is in, and no matter what type of case, you can be assured that Ms. Gagliano is the most prepared person in the room."
