Beermann LLP is pleased to welcome Nadalie G. Ponce to our team of attorneys as an Associate.

Ms. Ponce began her career with the firm as a law clerk and now joins us as an Associate, focusing her practice on family law matters, including divorce, allocation of parental responsibilities, parenting time, child support, and complex financial issues arising from the dissolution of marriage.

She has also participated in the Beermann LLP Family Law Legal Aid Clinic through Chicago Volunteer Legal Services (CVLS), where she represented individuals who could not otherwise afford legal services under her 711 license. In that role, Ms. Ponce gained valuable courtroom experience and developed a strong commitment to advancing access to justice.

Equity Partner Shana L. Vitek and Nadalie G. Ponce of Beermann LLP were joined by Phil Mohr, Deputy Director of Chicago Volunteer Legal Services (CVLS), and the Honorable Judge Regina Scannicchio to speak with our attorneys about access to justice in domestic relations. The discussion explored the critical roles that courts, private practitioners, and pro bono advocacy play in expanding access to legal services.

They also highlighted the Beermann Family Law Clinic, established in partnership with CVLS and now approaching its third year. With family law matters comprising 17% of CVLS’s caseload, the clinic has significantly expanded access to legal support for individuals and families who might otherwise be unable to afford representation, making a meaningful impact across the Chicagoland community.

In recognition of her exceptional contributions, Shana Vitek was honored as a 2024 and 2025 Honor Roll Awardee at the CVLS Law & Disorder events. This distinction is awarded to individuals who demonstrate outstanding dedication and go above and beyond in their service to the clinic.
