Wisconsin Law Journal honors its 2018 Women in the Law
The Wisconsin Law Journal honored 23 outstanding women lawyers Thursday night during its annual Women in the Law event at Discovery World in Milwaukee.
Charlton finds meaning helping others
Kathy Charlton has always been drawn to fighting injustice. Case in point: She read books by Ralph Nader while growing up.
Bigsby making a difference by fighting for the ‘little person’
The burden of student-loan debt continues to loom over thousands of students in Wisconsin. Yet, few attorneys are taking steps to deal with the situation.
Eiring gives of herself literally and figuratively
When it comes to giving, JoAnn Eiring is a tough act to follow.
Shannon’s accounting expertise finds fit in corporate law
Meghan Shannon has often walked into a corporate meeting to discover she’s the only woman present. Most men — for the simple fact they are men — will not be able to fully understand what that’s like.
For Crivello, justice more than putting bad guys away
Laura Crivello and her all-female team of assistant district attorneys have seen the worst of the worst over the years, dismantling drug-trafficking operations and prosecuting violent offenders in Milwaukee County.
Hannon helps others with military precision
Working at a law firm was never part of Jennifer Hannon’s life plan, but she is grateful for going off course.
Pakes has big picture understanding of criminal law
Kathy Pakes has made a career out of understanding the troubles and needs of the people she is working with at any given moment.
Tyndall arguing her way into history
Long before Susan Tyndall began law school, she was destined to do appellate work.
Haas has the makeup of an attorney
Although Elizabeth Haas has shown her mettle time and time again, she’s not done making a difference.
Karshen dedicated to seeking justice
Although she secured a conviction and an eight-year prison sentence for a U.S. Marshall who had sexually assaulted women in Milwaukee County, Erin Karshen didn’t stop there — not when her investigation had uncovered evidence that linked the culprit to assaults in another county.
Sette dedicated to court system’s most vulnerable
Laura Sette went to law school to be a prosecutor. Instead, she became a public defender in Brooklyn after graduation before coming to Wisconsin.
