Andrea J. Farrell
What do Charlize Theron, Carrie Underwood and attorney Andrea J. Farrell have in common? They’re all animal lovers and PETA supporters. But while the first two have made headlines primarily as entertainers, Farrell has caught the media’s attention for groundbreaking animal-rights litigation in Wisconsin. Farrell is representing PETA and the Alliance for Animals against the […]
Cindy L. Fryda
Cindy L. Fryda doesn’t like being called a “management-side” labor and employment attorney. For starters, Fryda, of The Schroeder Group SC in Waukesha, represents both employees and employers, and she concentrates in general small business law as well. But also: “The way I look at it, being management-oriented is a benefit to employees. Because the […]
Samuel K. Hamilton
When Sam Hamilton was working as an aide in the Ohio Legislature right after college, he saw something that pushed him toward law school. “I noticed the people who were lawyers had more credibility,” Hamilton said of the lawmakers and employees in the Legislature. But when he got to law school at Ohio State University, […]
Elizabeth P. Hanigan
Elizabeth Hanigan took a slightly different path to law school. While that’s not uncommon, hers is even more varied than most. While in college, she interned for Sen. Dick Lugar (R-Ind.), then worked in the White House under President George H.W. Bush. After graduating with a bachelor’s in Political Science, she sold textbooks for a […]
Lindsey R. King
Lindsey R. King’s four favorite words in the English language might just be “No probable cause found.” King frequently represents employers facing discrimination charges before the Equal Rights Division. Happily, she’s read those words often in the two years she’s been with Petrie & Stocking SC in Milwaukee. “It’s one piece of paper with very […]
Jodi Shields Yin
Occasionally Jodi Shields Yin just offers comforting words as she and her client walk to the courthouse, where they’ll be seeking an order to keep the client and/or children safe. Yin, who concentrates in family law, says her background helps her tremendously in these situations. Post-college, she volunteered for Teach for America in Louisiana for […]
Jason E. Kuwayama
All children dream about what they’ll do when they grow up. Jason E. Kuwayama recalls playing with his best friend, who announced that he wanted to be a doctor. Kuwayama responded that he would become a lawyer and protect his friend from his mistakes. At least part of that prediction came true. Kuwayama did become […]
Byron C. Lichstein
When attorney Byron C. Lichstein joined the faculty at the University of Wisconsin Law School at the beginning of 2004, he was the youngest clinical professor at the Frank J. Remington Center. That made sense, since Lichstein has just gotten his law degree from UW the previous December. “When I first started, I worked with […]
Steven C. McGaver
Steven C. McGaver didn’t want to follow his father in the law enforcement profession, or take his grandfather’s advice to attend the United States Naval Academy. He wanted to be a lawyer. Four years into his legal career, McGaver has made his mark. As the new President of the Milwaukee Young Lawyers Association, he intends […]
Erin K. Murphy
Erin K. Murphy’s journey toward practicing immigration law began with a year of teaching special education classes in Quito, Ecuador. After graduating with a degree in education and rehabilitational psychology, she found The Working Boys’ Center, a volunteer program founded by Rev. John Halligan and run by the Jesuits. “It ended up being the best […]
Juan S. Ramirez
Juan Ramirez says his motto is “Never quit.” “I loathe being defeated,” he said. It’s a motto that has served him well in the litigation practice group at Michael Best & Friedrich. One case file has been on his desk ever since he joined the firm in 2002. Representing the owner of a restaurant, he […]
Jacob R. Reis
Jacob R. Reis’ decision to become a personal injury lawyer arose from a very personal family experience. When he was starting high school, his grandfather was killed in a car accident. “I remember my grandma dealing with the insurance company and that being very stressful for her,” Reis said. “I know that she probably didn’t […]
