Attorney Referrals

For over 50 years we have worked with other lawyers, either on a referral or co-counsel basis, in helping their clients get their lives and families back together after a serious injury or death. If you have a case you would like to refer or co-counsel, we would be pleased to discuss working with you. We represent injured clients throughout Wisconsin and Northern Illinois, as well as Wisconsin residents injured in other states. We have strong relationships with other top tier trial lawyers throughout the country through the American Association for Justice, Wisconsin Academy of Trial Lawyers,  International Society of Barristers, and the American College of Trial Lawyers.
