About Lidia E

Lidia E Serrano practices family law and related matters from a suburban Illinois office. She combines courtroom experience, mediation credentials and years as a partner in small firms. Colleagues and clients see a lawyer who has built a steady local practice and taken on leadership roles in county bar work.

She received her law degree from Chicago-Kent College of Law at Illinois Institute of Technology and holds undergraduate degrees from DePaul University in psychology and political science, along with a minor in Spanish. Those academic choices inform the work she does now: the law degree supplies the technical grounding, while the social sciences help in handling sensitive family matters.

Her career path shows early movement into partnership roles. In 2003 she was a partner at Aguinaga & Serrano. That firm evolved and by 2007 she was a partner at Aguinaga Serrano & Low. In 2013 she took a partner role at Serrano Low & Hanson. Over the years she has split time between litigation and alternative dispute resolution, handling contested hearings as well as mediated settlements.

Serrano holds several court approvals that shape the services she offers. She is a court-approved guardian ad litem in the 16th Judicial Circuit (Kane County), the 23rd Judicial Circuit (Kendall County) and the 18th Judicial Circuit (DuPage County). She also appears on court-approved mediator panels in the 16th and 23rd Judicial Circuits and is a court-approved foreclosure mediator in the 16th Judicial Circuit. Those certifications allow her to take on roles beyond client representation, serving courts and families in appointed capacities.

She is licensed to practice in Illinois and admitted to the Federal Circuit. Locally she is active in the Kane County Bar Association, serving on its board of directors since 2016. She has chaired the Kane County Family Law Committee since 2015, a role that keeps her engaged with procedural developments and local practitioners. Those positions place her regularly in conversations about court rules and family law practice in the county.

Serrano works from an office identified as Serrano Hanson, Lawyers and Counselors at Law, A Professional Liability Company. Her practice includes courtroom representation, guardian ad litem appointments and mediation services in family law and related matters. She currently concentrates her practice on family law litigation, court-appointed guardian and mediation work.
