Aggressive Employment Law Representation For More Than 30 Years

Since 1989, I have been helping my clients resolve employment disputes in an innovative and cost-conscious manner. Motivated by my experience as an employee in the banking and insurance industry, I seek to reduce the complexity of workplace protocols and contracts that are at the root of many conflicts. It is for this reason that I work as an attorney: to design straightforward solutions for my clients.

My record of success in litigating claims associated with employment and labor law is well-known throughout Wisconsin. I have received large settlements on behalf of clients employed in sectors ranging from law enforcement to finance to social work.

Although I am proud of the multi-million dollar awards I have obtained for my clients, I receive the most gratification when an injustice is remedied to my client’s satisfaction. I consider legal advocacy to be my vocation.
