My practice is focused on the areas of Business Bankruptcy, Real Estate, Business Litigation, Creditor/Debtor Negotiation, and other General Business work, oftentimes within the context of Chapter 11 Reorganizations.  I assist companies that are in need of financial restructuring--whether in or outside of bankruptcy court--and help them to continue operating and preserve their assets and assemble a business plan that will allow them to succeed.. I also deal with matters involving general business litigation, commercial leasing, non-compete agreements, LLC and business formation, foreclosure and out-of-court workout cases, estate planning, real estate transactional work, and taxation issues involving distressed real estate.. Outside of the office, I enjoy many of the things Milwaukee has to offer: running and biking by the lakefront, attending MSO and broadway shows at the Marcus Center, cheering on Marquette at the Bradley Center, and enjoying the many farmers markets and community events througout the season.  I have previously served on the Board of my downtown condo building and have been involved with the Milwaukee Young Lawyers Association.

I was raised in both Wisconsin and North Carolina, which explains both my passion for Kringle and love of college hoops. I attended Earlham College (Richmond, Indiana) and North Carolina State University(Raleigh, North Carolina) for my undergraduate studies and earned my bachelor's degree from the latter. I was able to study briefly in Krasnodar, Russia, during a very exciting time as that country transitioned out of the cold war.. Along with my family's support and various forms of financial aid, I put myself through college and law school working a variety of jobs such as server, bartender, salesperson, organizational consultant, and as an improvisational comedian. This variety served me well; I learned about various occupations, the value of hard work and how to work smart because my time is valuable.. To complete my formal education, I attended law school at the University of North Carolina School of Law. During those years, I had numerous experiences that helped teach me what it means to be an attorney and an advocate for my clients. During my first summer and during the year, I had the privilege of clerking for my personal legal hero, Raymond Mason Taylor, Esq., of Raleigh, North Carolina. Mr. Taylor's decades of experience as a respected and successful attorney allowed him to be a mentor to me. His advice still sounds in my head on a nearly daily basis as I perform work for my clients today.. I spent my second law school summer at Pamlico Sound Legal Services. At Pamlico Sound, I assisted clients who were struggling in the aftermath of Hurricane Floyd with FEMA and state claims. The work was rewarding and challenging and I extended my internship well beyond the original agreement to continue working with the people of Eastern North Carolina to recover from the storm.. During law school, I also clerked for my criminal law professor, Arnold H. Loewy, and contributed research for his third edition of Criminal Law in a Nutshell (2003).. After three years of course work, participation in Moot Court, involvement in various volunteer activities, and a brief study abroad observing the institutions of the European Union, I was honored with my Juris Doctor in May 2001. â€¨â€¨I started my legal career as a staff attorney at the Indianapolis office of Indiana Legal Services, where I practiced consumer, family, and landlord-tenant law. This experience was invaluable. Because Legal Services provides free legal services to qualified individuals, the budget was not extensive. I was able to choose interesting cases and dive right in to practicing law whereas in a more traditional firm environment I might have been expected to spend more time observing or supporting more experienced attorneys.. I moved to Chicago in 2003 to take a job with a growing law firm specializing in consumer bankruptcy. I started by taking Chapter 7 and 13 cases and working with clients. Eventually, I managed the practice for Northern Indiana, with offices in Merrillville, Fort Wayne, South Bend, and Elkhart, Indiana. Later, at the same firm, I was asked to train and manage a number of offices across the country. I have continued to work with attorneys and clients at my former firm. I have traveled across the United States and worked with people in Manhattan, Miami, Las Vegas, San Francisco and a variety of less exciting locations in between.. In 2010, I moved back to Wisconsin. I chose to live in Milwaukee because of family connections and because I simply love Wisconsin...even when it snows. Fueled by a desire to spend more time with clients and less time in airports, I opened the Law Offices of Deborah A. Stencel in summer 2011.  In 2016, I joined Miller and Miller Law in Milwaukee where I am privileged to work with a team of caring and dedicated professionals.

Jerry's interest in chapter 11 cases and business litigation began during his third year of law school, more than 30 years ago.  He interned with Judge C.N. Clevert who was a bankruptcy judge at the time and later became a district court judge in Milwaukee.  While in law school, Jerry wrote a law review article that studied the effects of the then new 1978 Bankruptcy Code in chapter 11 cases.  The article was published as the lead article in the Marquette Law Review: The Debtor in Full Control: A Case for Adoption of the U.S. Trustee System, 70 Marq. L. Rev. 159 (1987).. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin law school, Jerry immediately represented chapter 11 debtors with a mid-size Milwaukee firm and eventually worked for one of the largest firms in Milwaukee before founding Kerkman & Dunn in 2006.  Kerkman & Dunn grew to be one of the most successful chapter 11 boutique firms in the Midwest and in May of 2017 was joined by the lawyers from Wagner Law Group, a litigation boutique in Milwaukee  to become Kerkman Wagner & Dunn.  It practices bankruptcy throughout the State of Wisconsin and in Northern Illinois, and has represented large chapter 11 debtors in bankruptcy courts in Madison, Wausau, Chicago and of course Milwaukee.. Jerry and Kerkman Wagner & Dunn have represented creditors' committees, individual creditors and chapter 11 debtors.  Their approach is often innovative.  For example, the leading case to consolidate a large number of chapter 11 debtors into a smaller, more manageable number of debtors was approved recently by the bankruptcy and district courts in Milwaukee in the Bruckner decision.  Jerry has also developed and led claim processes that took a large number of claims and resolved disputes to them with minimal court hearings.  The firm's approach to cases usually results in a confirmed plan of reorganization because it emphasizes a business approach to cases; before filing a case, the exit strategy must be known.. Jerry and the firm look forward to the challenges of complex chapter 11 cases and obtaining a positive result for their clients.
