About Dan
Dan Nold built his legal foundation at Marquette University, where he earned a B.A. in political science and history in 2005, and at Saint Louis University School of Law, where he completed his J.D. in 2012. He moved into Illinois practice after law school and has remained based there throughout his career. Colleagues describe him as a trial-oriented attorney who came up through courtroom work.
His early professional years included a return to Donahue & Walsh, P.C., where he worked as a trial lawyer in 2015 and again in 2020. Those stints bookend a period in which he practiced at Susan E. Loggans & Associates in 2019. Each role reinforced his courtroom experience. By 2021 he helped establish Nold & Walsh, LLC and took on the role of managing partner.
The record shows practical training alongside courtroom time. He holds certification from the Illinois Truck Enforcement Association. He is also SFST certified through La Pier & Associates, a credential tied to standardized field sobriety testing. Those qualifications suggest regular engagement with cases that intersect law enforcement procedures and vehicle-related incidents.
Nold has participated in local and state trial lawyer organizations. He has been a member of the McHenry County Bar Association since 2017. He also belonged to the Illinois Trial Lawyers Association from 2020 to 2021. These memberships have provided ongoing contact with other litigators and access to continuing legal education.
At Nold & Walsh, LLC he serves as managing partner and remains active in trial work. His background shows steady movement toward leadership, from associate roles to trial lawyer positions and then to firm management. The firm listing identifies Nold as one of the principal attorneys and indicates an office presence tied to his practice in Illinois.
Clients and peers see him as an attorney who spends considerable time in the courtroom and on case preparation. He draws on certifications that relate to trucking enforcement and field sobriety testing when cases require technical or investigatory attention. He continues to accept matters in Illinois and focuses his practice on civil litigation and trial work in that jurisdiction.
