My clients have praised my polished legal writing, my poise at trial and in court, and my skill in drafting effective legal contracts.. Before working as an attorney in private practice, I served as a law clerk for the Honorable Patricia D. McMahon (retired) in the Milwaukee County Circuit Court Civil Division, where I honed my research and writing skills and gained valuable insight in presenting winning arguments to judges. I graduated from Marquette University Law School, where I served as Managing Editor of the Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review.

I have been practicing labor and employment law since I graduated from Marquette University Law School in 1982.  I joined Krukowski & Costello, S.C. in 1980 and became a shareholder in 1986.. Majority of my practice centers on matters arising under the National Labor Relations Act, including union organizing and unfair labor practices brough by or against labor organizations, NLRB proceedings, arbitrations and labor audits.  I regularly negotiate collective bargaining agreementgs and Title VII litigation and matters involving disability, discrimination, employment contracts, wage and hour issues, worker's compensation, unemployment insurance and OSHA.  A significant portion of my practice involves non-compete and confidentiality agreement litigation..

I have been a trial lawyer since graduation from law school. I find the practice of law exciting. It is my calling. I have learned so much about so many different types of businesses and the manner in which business disputes arise. I have also experienced with my clients the devastation that come from personal injuries and challenges that they face which cause them to become involved in the legal system. All of those experiences have given me a strong and I believe unique set of skills in helping people find solutions to their problems. The largest corporate client and an individual client may present different types of problems in need of solution but all problems involve people and understanding people and how they act and interact is critical in all cases, big and small.. When I am away from work, I play the guitar and sing. I work in community theatre as an actor and singer. I volunteer in a variety of settings. Each of these experiences help to keep me grounded and focused. They also provide me with insight into the way a wide variety of people think and act which is critical in both choosing juries and presenting materials to juries.. The critical element in all problem solving is listening before acting. That is how I help clients to look at their legal problems and choose the path toward solutions.

I have been a partner with the firm, focusing my practice primarily on serious personal injury cases caused by motor vehicle accidents, construction site accidents, unsafe premises and medical malpractice.  I have successfully tried numerous jury cases through verdict and has represented clients throughout Wisconsin, as well as in Illinois, Michigan, Florida, and California.

I have been a lawyer and member of the Wisconsin Bar for 37 years. I am a 1978 graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a 1982 graduate of the University of Michigan Law School (considered one of the top law schools in the country). I have been married for 35 years and I have four children and four young granddaughters. My son is a congressional staffer on Capitol Hill, I have a daughter who is a lawyer in Minneapolis, and two other daughters who are bilingual teachers in Milwaukee.. I have been rated the top Slip and Fall lawyer by M Magazine and Avvo which is a lawyer rating agency. My primary practice is slip and falls, motor vehicle accidents, nursing home neglect and abuse, and social security disability.

I have almost two decades of experience as an aggressive Criminal Defense Attorney.  I protect my clients rights and freedom at every stage of criminal procedings.  I listen to my clients and call tell their story persuasively.  I have tried many cases before judges and juries in southeastern Wisconsin.

I have a strong belief the role of a family lawyer is to guide my clients through a process that is often complicated and stressful. Through my years of practice I have found the number one driving force behind the disputes is fear. Fear of the unknown has an incredibly powerful influence on both the parties. I feel it is important to advocate strongly on behalf of my clients, but part of that advocacy is a duty to redefine the family unit without destroying it. No two cases are ever the same and as such I carefully evaluate each and every individual's goals. I take an educational approach because I respect my client's ability to partake in the process. While I do my best to see whether we can resolve the issues without taking them before a Judge, I understand there are some issues which require judicial determination.. In the event one of my cases proceeds to the point of trial I make absolutely certain the case and my client are fully prepared. I take a realistic and straight forward approach to the trial. In my opinion there are very few cases which require judicial intervention if an attorney genuinely understands the laws and is familiar with the particular Judge assigned to the case. However, this does not necessarily translate into the opponent taking a realistic stance on the issues and this is an unfortunate obstacle to resolution without a trial.. Whenever I am consulted for a legal problem I always encourage my potential clients to interview more than one attorney. Why? Because you should trust who you hire; you must feel confident in communicating the good and the bad facts of your position; and you must feel confident with their knowledge and ability to competently assist you. If your situation was not important, you would not be seeking legal counsel - make sure the person you hire respects this above all else or you are in for disappointment.

I grew up in Detroit in a family of lawyers.  I am the fourth generation of my family to attend law school at the University of Michigan.  I am honored to work in this noble profession, and nothing makes me happier then to see the look on a client's face when I am able to obtain a settlement or resolution of their legal problems.. When I am not working on behalf of my clients, you can find me with my family or on the golf course.

I don't take every case.  I try to take cases where there is evidence of innocence and/or a political reason that someone is being picked on by the Government.  I focus all of my time and energy on criminal defense.  I am influenced by being a graduate of Gerry Spence's highly prestigious Trial Lawyers College.  At this school in Wyoming I learned how to speak the truth to succeed for clients.  In addition to my law degree from UW Madison, I have two masters degrees: in counseling and political studies.  In law school I won the celebrated Sigman award for "scholarship, character, and contribution to the community."  I am proud of having an outstanding trial record and being known for my caring attitude towards clients..
