Rusk County Lawyers

I have been practicing primarily Family Law for over 30 years. I feel that, like a choosing a doctor, the choice of an attorney to help you to nagivate through the sometimes rough waters of a divorce, placement or custody matter is crucial, so that the waves are more gentle. In so many cases, just a little common sense and a voice of reason can calm the tides before they escalate, which leads to a more efficient resolution.

I have been practicing law since 2003, focusing on the area of criminal defense. I am admitted to practice in Wisconsin, and Federal District Court- Western District of Wisconsin, Federal District Court- Northern District of Illinois.
