Denise R. Wilson

Denise R. Wilson is an experienced family law attorney specializing in divorces, custody issues, post-judgment matters, and paternity cases. She is also taking on some elder law cases depending on the issue. She brings a wealth of expertise and a unique perspective to her practice, rooted in her diverse background as an educator, instructional designer, and project manager. Originally from Maryland, Denise has lived and worked across the country, including Washington, D.C., Albuquerque, N.M., and Chicago, IL, finally putting down roots in Wisconsin since 2015. This broad range of experiences informs her compassionate and results-driven approach to family law. After earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Secondary Education and Master’s Degree in Instructional Design and Technology, dedicating years to teaching and instructional design, Denise’s growing interest in how government policy and the legal system affect individuals led her to pursue a career in law. She earned her JD from Loyola University of Chicago School of Law in 2019, focusing on constitutional law and family law, and she gained hands-on experience assisting clients through Legal Aid Chicago and Loyola’s Health Justice Project. Since joining Capital Law Group, S.C. (formerly Zerbst & Kluck, S.C.), in August 2021, Denise has built a reputation for her dedication to achieving the best possible outcomes for her clients, even in challenging circumstances. She is licensed to practice in Wisconsin Circuit Courts and the Western District Federal Court. Denise lives in Stoughton, Wisconsin, with her husband, Andy, a retired tax attorney and computer specialist, and their rescue dog, Maya. In her free time, she focuses on her family, reading, connecting with friends and community, and long walks and playing with her pup.
