About Jonathan D. Steele

Jonathan D. Steele is a seasoned family law attorney renowned for his robust approach in managing sensitive family law matters such as divorce, child custody, and paternity.

His practice is characterized by a holistic approach that safeguards both personal and digital aspects of his clients’ lives.

Jonathan D. Steele’s legal career began with foundational roles at Nadler, Pritikin & Mirabelli LLC, progressing to more advanced practice at Beermann LLP. His exemplary performance quickly elevated him from associate attorney to partner upon his admission to the Illinois Bar, marking his rapid rise and distinction in the legal community.

Recognized for his profound expertise in family law, Jonathan’s skills have earned him continuous recognition from Illinois Super Lawyers magazine as a Rising Star—an accolade reserved for less than 2.5% of attorneys under 40 in the state, acknowledging outstanding lawyers who have attained a high degree of peer recognition and professional achievement. Furthermore, he has been designated an Emerging Lawyer by Leading Lawyers magazine, a selective honor given to fewer than 2% of Illinois attorneys each year, which recognizes only those lawyers who are identified by their peers as the top lawyers in Illinois.

Beyond his courtroom accomplishments, Jonathan exhibits a commanding knowledge of the Illinois Supreme Court rules, the Rules of Civil Procedure, and a technical proficiency in legal practice that makes him exceptionally well-suited for managing complex legal challenges. His expertise includes advanced trial advocacy, an in-depth understanding of the rules of evidence, and specialized knowledge in the Illinois Marriage and Dissolution of Marriage Act, Domestic Violence Act, and the Stalking No Contact Order Act. Jonathan prioritizes the privacy and security of his clients, integrating cutting-edge digital protection strategies to safeguard sensitive information—a vital asset in today’s interconnected world.

Outside the courtroom, Jonathan is dedicated to community service, providing pro bono legal aid through JUF Community Legal Services and contributing to medical research initiatives as a board member of the Medical Research Junior Board Foundation at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago.
