A new law firm could be coming to Milwaukee. A company managed by a Houston personal injury lawyer recently bought a building in the city’s downtown for $1.4 million.

State records show a limited liability corporation managed by Orville Dunk, the founding attorney of Dunk Law Firm in Houston, bought an office building at 777 N. Jefferson St. on Dec. 27 from the Milwaukee developer Joshua Jeffers of J. Jeffers & Co. The four-story building is valued at about $1.43 million.

According to Dunk Law Firm‘s website, Dunk has ties to Milwaukee. He graduated from Cardinal Stritch University with a bachelor’s degree in business management in 2000. He then earned his juris doctor from the University of Houston Law Center in 2004. Records from the State Bar of Wisconsin show he was admitted in 2010, and he is currently an active member in good standing.

Dunk Law Firm takes accident and wrongful-death cases. The attorneys he works with represent clients from around the country and have recovered over $250 million, according to its website.
