At sewerage district, no news is good news
No one gives a city’s sewerage system much thought — unless it’s not working. Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewerage District attorney Katherine Lazarski works hard to ensure there’s never reason to think of her employer. “We do a lot of construction projects. Annually, our budget for capital construction is around $150 million, and my job to make […]
Listening and learning help bring results
Attorney Alan G. B. Kim Jr. has a curious mind — for which he’s extremely grateful. Curiosity is what makes him a results-focused advocate for his clients. It’s a simple credo: He tries to listen more than he speaks. “The part of my job I enjoy the best is getting to know my client, and […]
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 […]

In March of this year, a piece of cornice fell from the Milwaukee County Courthouse, which was built in 1931. No one was injured.

Following in father’s footsteps – to a point
Saul Glazer didn’t always want to follow in his father’s footsteps. After all, Sidney M. Glazer was a member of the Watergate Special Prosecution Force, which sets the bar pretty high. But after earning a bachelor’s degree in English and a master’s degree in library science, Saul headed to law school, becoming the only one […]
Building relationships, building business
In some ways, Kevin Delorey has always been a builder. As a young man, he worked as a carpenter. Today, he builds relationships. Delorey twice set out to earn an electrical engineering degree. He got married, moved to northern Wisconsin and started a family before completing the requirements. He worked as a carpenter until a […]
Binding mediation gaining traction in Wisconsin
During a mediation, Milwaukee attorney William A. Jennaro is often asked by one of the parties what he thinks about their case. The former judge is careful with his response and generally reminds everyone involved that he is there to help reach an agreement, not endorse one side over the other. “I can’t tell them […]
