GOT ON her CASE

Hello friends,
I don't understand very well the neaning of this expression here:
'When she called him, my father GOT ON HER CASE. "The only thing that's wrong with Miles now is those damn musicians like your husband that he's hanging around with.'

Is someone there who could help me?

Thanks in advance, Jo.
