Benjamin S. Wagner
When Benjamin S. Wagner began his undergraduate work, he planned to follow his grandfather’s footsteps into medicine. By his junior year, he realized that being a doctor was not his calling. Instead, he decided to study law, as his father, Milwaukee Circuit Court Judge Jeffrey Wagner, had done. While taking a trial advocacy class in […]
Rebecca Frihart Kennedy
Rebecca Frihart Kennedy, a litigation attorney at Reinhart Boerner Van Deuren SC, is very proud of her work with a team of attorneys that obtained a favorable jury verdict and injunctive relief for a commercial real estate developer in a case involving environmental claims against a municipal sewerage district. The case challenged the principles of […]
Deanne M. Koll
Attorney Deanne M. Koll likes a good challenge. In one of her first jury trials, the 2006 law school graduate successfully represented a woman who had been confined against her will at a mental institution, known as ‘Chapter 51.’ “During the trial she was dabbing holy water on herself and when she was not found […]
Rudy Kuss
October 17, 2005, wasn’t a great day for Rudy Kuss, just a few months out of law school. In two different cases on that day, in the same Milwaukee County courtroom, the judge granted summary judgment for the defendants in his cases alleging misrepresentation by the sellers of residential homes. But in February 2008, Kuss […]
Katie Longley
Clerking for a judge is usually something attorneys do straight out of law school. But Katie Longley did it a little differently. She worked for a year at Foley & Lardner after graduation, then clerked for a year for U.S. 7th Circuit Court Judge Diane S. Sykes, then returned to Foley, where she’s been ever […]
Jeremy R. McKenzie
Jeremy R. McKenzie loves sports. He enjoys many professional sports and has a strong interest in playing lesser-known niche sports, such as the Irish game of hurling and the less obscure sport of curling. His favorite U.S. Supreme Court decision involves the antitrust exemption for Major League Baseball. So it comes as no surprise that […]
Carlos A. Ortiz
When Carlos A. Ortiz’s wife went into labor with their third child, the paramedics did not make it in time for the big event. So, Ortiz stepped away from his usual role as a legal advisor and litigator and delivered his daughter. Despite that adventure, he has no plans to leave the practice of law […]
Celestina L. Owusu-Sanders
Although attorney Celestina L. Owusu-Sanders is a member of the Health Law Practice Group at Quarles & Brady LLP, she has a passion for civil rights issues. A native of Ghana, Owusu-Sanders regularly takes asylum cases pro bono and has recently helped refugees from China and Senegal find sanctuary in the United States. “That really […]
T.J. Perlick-Molinari
T.J. Perlick-Molinari, a member of the OWI Legislative Committee of the Wisconsin Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, attended an Assembly hearing on proposed changes to the state’s OWI laws — laws, he believes, that are tough enough, and rely on “science” that is unproven and more importantly, un-scientific. Not many share his views. That doesn’t […]
Michele L. Perreault
Before becoming an attorney, Michele L. Perreault spent 10 years as a social worker, involved in domestic violence programs and also working for the American Red Cross. As a social worker, she found that her advocacy for people in need could only go so far. One of the greatest obstacles she faced was access to […]
Amanda L. Rockman
At age 26, Amanda L. Rockman, who’d just recently been named associate judge for the Ho-Chunk Nation, went to lunch in the tribe’s casino. She was carded. Rockman became one of the youngest judges in the country when she took the bench in 2006, only 15 months after graduating law school. Her caseload includes family […]
