About Jillian
Jillian Tattersall built her academic foundation on the East Coast. She completed a Bachelor of Arts at George Washington University in 1999 and earned her Juris Doctor from Harvard Law School in 2002. Those years framed a legal education that combined classroom study with exposure to the courts and policy debates common to major metropolitan centers.
Her early steps after law school led into firm practice. Over time she joined Bellas & Wachowski - Lawyers at Law, where she serves as a lawyer. At the firm she has worked on matters that require steady legal judgment and careful attention to procedural detail. Colleagues describe her as methodical; clients note she explains complex points in plain language.
Tattersall is admitted to practice in both New York and Illinois. That dual admission has shaped the range of matters she handles. It also means she routinely crosses state lines on procedural questions and often coordinates with counsel admitted only in one jurisdiction. She keeps current on the differing rules and court practices in each state so filings and arguments match local expectations.
Outside the daily docket she has maintained professional ties for many years. She has held membership in a professional association since 2005, participating in continuing legal education and peer discussions. Those activities have served as forums for exchanging practice tips and examining recent case law. They have also provided opportunities to mentor younger lawyers who enter firm practice.
At Bellas & Wachowski Tattersall combines courtroom preparation, written advocacy and client counseling. Her practice is anchored in the jurisdictions where she is licensed, and she handles matters that reflect the procedural and substantive differences between New York and Illinois law. She continues to work at the firm, where her current practice concentrates on matters in the jurisdictions where she is licensed.
