2025 Powerlist – Family Law and Mediation

Welcome to the Power List, a new feature from the Wisconsin Law Journal that examines the power brokers who lead and influence various parts of the Wisconsin legal community.

For this edition of the Power List, we’re focusing on family law and mediation attorneys. In the list, we highlight those whose mere presence on a case signifies the stakes, who have influenced the direction of the law, whose leadership in the community is pervasive and whose respect within the bar is undeniable. 

To create this editorial-selected list, we interviewed respected attorneys and other leaders around the state, reviewed outcomes of significant cases handled by these and other attorneys, and consulted the archives of the Wisconsin Law Journal to highlight people whose achievements and influence we recognize as powerful attorneys in Wisconsin.

The profiles in the section were written by legal freelance writer Ali Teske.
