By: WISCONSIN LAW JOURNAL STAFF//September 26, 2013//
Twenty-six attorneys from a variety of practice areas were honored Thursday night as Wisconsin Law Journal’s 2013 Up and Coming Lawyers.
Now in its fifth year, the annual award event recognizes attorneys who – right out of the starting gate – have shown themselves to be rising stars. With eight years or less of experience, honorees have handled challenging legal issues, taken steps to improve the justice system and given of themselves to their communities.
Honorees were chosen for their initiative and zeal for the practice of law, as well as their commitment to community and the positive effect they have on the lives of those around them.
