About Hilary Elizabeth
Hilary Elizabeth Wild began her academic path at the University of Colorado, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature and Studio Art in 2002. She stayed in Boulder for law school and received her J.D. from the University of Colorado Law School in 2005. Those years anchored her interest in written advocacy and careful analysis of complex material.
Her legal career began in a small but steady rhythm. In 2004 she worked as a law clerk for Howard O. Bernstein. The next year she took an associate position at Guttman and Wallace, a role that marked her transition from student to practicing lawyer. Over the next decade Wild moved through a series of associate posts, joining Senak Keegan Gleason Smith & Michaud, Ltd. in 2011 and then The Chawla Group, Ltd. in 2012. In 2014 she became an associate at Rolewick & Gutzke, P.C. Those moves reflect steady experience in firm environments that require drafting, negotiation and courtroom readiness.
Wild is admitted to practice in both Illinois and New York. She also participates in local bar activities and maintains membership in the DuPage County Bar Association. Colleagues describe her as methodical; she approaches legal questions by parsing facts and choosing practical next steps. She has experience preparing filings, advising clients on procedural matters and arguing discrete motions. She combines a background in literature and art with legal training, which she says helps when constructing written arguments and managing the visual elements of trial presentation.
Her work history suggests an attorney comfortable in both the office and the courtroom. She has handled matters that require careful attention to pleading standards, discovery strategy and client counseling. She has worked under partners who assigned responsibility for research, drafting and client-facing tasks, giving her repeated exposure to case preparation from inception through hearing dates.
Today she practices at Rolewick & Gutzke, P.C. There she continues to represent clients in matters arising in Illinois and New York, handling litigation tasks, drafting court papers, and participating in hearings on behalf of those clients. She remains active in county bar activities and continues to build on the practical experience she gained across multiple midwestern and northeastern firms. She maintains a practice representing clients in matters across Illinois and New York.
