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 […]
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 […]
Andrew N. DeClercq
Two years out of law school, Andrew N. DeClercq already has a win in front of the Wisconsin Supreme Court under his belt. Working with Paul Norman at Boardman Law Firm, DeClercq experienced his first state Supreme Court victory in 2010 by helping with Volvo Trucks North America v. Wausau Truck Center, Inc. The case […]
Lydia J. Chartre
Never underestimate the power of a wise mentor. Lydia J. Chartre was convinced she’d use her law degree in the corporate/transactional world. Then, while clerking at Petrie & Stocking SC, she met Daniel J. Miske, who urged her to consider litigation. Suddenly she changed her mind. Once she joined the firm as an associate, Miske […]
Anthony D. Cotton
Daniel Braznell was accused of salacious charges — the sexual assault of a 70-year-old, disabled woman — and therefore the media paid close attention to the case. In June 2010, a Waukesha County jury found Braznell not guilty. It was an exciting victory for defense lawyer Anthony D. Cotton, of Kuchler & Cotton Law Offices […]
2010 Up and Coming Lawyers – Publisher's Note
Sometimes it can be just a little too awesome. We had so many nominations this year for our second annual Up and Coming Lawyers event that it was just, well, awesome. Then, after reading the nominations, it was … just a little too awesome. And I mean that in a good way. Now, in defining […]
Andrew P. Beilfuss
Andrew P. Beilfuss applied to law school after a few years as a business consultant because he “was always interested in the chess match that I thought trial work would be.” After just five years as a lawyer, he’s already played integral roles on teams that have toppled the opposition’s queen several times in high-stakes […]
Amelia L. Bizzaro
Amelia Bizzaro doesn’t hold back when describing herself and her line of work. “I’m an appellate geek,” Bizzaro said. It’s worked out well for her. After several years at Henak Law Office, she recently started her own firm, where she still focuses on appellate work. While the opportunity to do appellate work in more areas […]
Danielle Bergner
Danielle Bergner, who represents the Redevelopment Authority as an assistant city attorney, describes herself as “a municipal attorney with a more specialized background in real estate.” Not surprising given that she has been a licensed real estate professional since she was 21. While obtaining her bachelor’s degree in economics at UW-Milwaukee, Bergner worked as a […]
Nudge from Dad leads to law career
Scott Halloin’s parents, both real estate developers, taught him an important lesson: Always start with the architect and engineer. Now a shareholder attorney at Halloin & Murdock SC in Milwaukee, he applies that to many of his construction law cases. The firm does a lot of multiparty construction law cases. For instance, it has represented […]
Construction law only a natural choice
Construction is in John Kassner’s DNA. Kassner’s father was a developer, builder and a president of the Wisconsin Builders Association. Each of his three brothers owns a construction company in Green Bay. His sister used to buy and rehab older houses for resale. And he used to be a builder. “I’ve developed subdivisions, condominiums, time […]
Statute of repose has seen several renovations
In March of this year, a piece of cornice fell from the Milwaukee County Courthouse, which was built in 1931. No one was injured. If someone had been hurt, though, it seems clear that any fault for the injury would lie with how the county has maintained the structure, not how it was built nearly […]
