Morgan L. Stogsdill is a nationally recognized Chicago divorce attorney, family law expert, and high-conflict custody strategist who helps individuals and families navigate some of the most complex and emotionally charged legal situations imaginable.

Morgan is the Head of the Family Law Group at Beermann LLP, one of the most respected family law firms in Chicago. In her role, she represents high-net-worth individuals, business owners, executives, and public figures in complex divorce and family law matters requiring the highest levels of discretion, strategy, and confidentiality.

With extensive experience handling high-conflict divorce, complex financial divorce cases, child custody disputes, parenting plans, asset division, and high-net-worth family law litigation, Morgan is known for her strategic approach and ability to manage emotionally sensitive cases with both precision and empathy.

Although Morgan is a skilled and tenacious divorce litigator, her primary goal is always to help clients reach the best possible outcome while protecting their time, finances, and families whenever possible. She believes that while divorce is often unavoidable, unnecessary legal conflict is not. Whenever appropriate, she works to resolve matters efficiently and strategically outside the courtroom, minimizing stress and preserving resources for the future.

As both a family law attorney and a mother, Morgan understands firsthand how deeply divorce can impact children and family dynamics. That perspective drives her commitment to helping clients make thoughtful decisions about co-parenting, custody arrangements, and long-term family stability during and after divorce.

Morgan is also the co-host of the divorce podcast How Not to Suck at Divorce, where she and co-host Andrea Rappaport break down complicated legal concepts, divorce strategy, custody battles, and common divorce mistakes in a way that everyday people can actually understand. Through the podcast, Morgan helps listeners around the world gain clarity on topics like divorce law, custody negotiations, financial planning during divorce, and protecting yourself in high-conflict relationships.

Morgan’s expertise in family law and divorce litigation has been widely recognized. She has been featured in The New York Times and has appeared on numerous media outlets discussing divorce law, custody disputes, and family law issues. She has also appeared on Windy City Live.

Her professional honors include:

• “40 Under Forty Attorneys to Watch in Illinois” — Chicago Daily Law Bulletin

• “Most Influential Women Lawyers in Chicago” — Crain’s Chicago Business

• “Top 10 Women Attorneys in Illinois” — Emerging Lawyers

When she’s not advocating for clients or recording the podcast, Morgan can usually be found lifting weights to maintain her sanity, enjoying a good glass of bourbon, obsessing over skincare and fashion, or waiting (not so patiently) for an Amazon delivery. She also maintains a well-documented love affair with olives.

Morgan lives in the Chicago area with her family and continues to advocate for thoughtful, strategic approaches to divorce, custody disputes, and family law matters.
