Nadine received her Bachelor of Arts degree from UW-Platteville, graduating with honors. She is a 1983 graduate of the University of Wisconsin Law School.
Before coming to Anderson O’Brien, Nadine was an Assistant District Attorney for Winnebago County for two years. Nadine started at our firm in 1986. She was the first female attorney at the firm! Just seven years later in 1993, she would become the first female partner in the firm. Nadine served as a co-managing partner from 2010 to 2020.
Nadine started as a general litigation attorney. She soon discovered her niche was family law. For more than 30 years she assisted her clients in navigating divorce, custody and placement disputes, child support, and other family law matters. She also assisted couples as a divorce mediator, guiding them through the complexities of divorce and helping them reach agreements on disputed issues. In addition to family law, her areas of practice over the past 37 years included personal injury, insurance defense, and general legal problem solving of nearly all varieties.
Nadine is a member of the Family Practice Sections of both the State Bar of Wisconsin and the American Bar Association. She was named a Wisconsin Super Lawyer four years in a row. Her community involvement included the Community Partners Steering Committee (Committee member and Chair), the Endowment Committee of St. Stephen’s Church, the Saint Michael’s Foundation (Board member), the Women’s Fund of Portage County (Board member and Chair), the Woodland Girl Scout Council (Board member and Chair), the Stevens Point Area YMCA (Board member and Chair) and the American Cancer Society (Board member). She also served as a Portage County Business Council Ambassador and was a participant of the Portage County Leadership Institute and Chair of the PLIC Curriculum Committee. In 2017, she was awarded the Quality of Leadership Award by the Saint Michael’s Foundation, an award given by the Foundation in recognition of a leader who has made a significant contribution to enhancing the quality of life for citizens in Portage County and the surrounding region.
During her career, Nadine and her husband Tim raised three successful children, Sarah, Samuel, and Molly. While building her career Nadine rarely missed a school event, soccer tournament, swim meet or dance recital. In her well-deserved retirement, Nadine is looking forward to traveling with Tim and spending more time with their children and seven grandchildren (and another one on the way).
Congratulations to Attorney Nadine Davy on her retirement from Anderson O’Brien, LLP!
