Top best H Lawyers in Milwaukee | 355 available

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 am named to the list of Top One Hundred Labor Attorneys in the United States complied by the Labor Relations Institute, Inc. and selected for inclusion in the 2010 - 2014 editions of the Best Lawyers in America, the 2013 edition of Wisconsin's Best Lawyers in the specialty of Labor and Employment Law, the 2012 edition of Wisconsin's Top Rated Lawyers and, inclusion as a Key Individual since 2011 in Chambers USA America's Leading Lawyers for Business.. I am admitted to practice in Wisconsin and before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and Tenth Circuits and the District of Columbia.  I have litigated cases in many state courts including Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Ohio, Nebraska and Indiana; the Supreme Courts of Iowa and Nebraska; federal courts in the District of Columbia, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas and Michigan; and before the NLRB, the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission and numerous federal and state agencies and arbitrators throughout the country.. In my free time I like to ride my bike, collect Neue Sachlichkeit art and spend time with my wife and two daughters. I presented a lecture at the Northwestern University Block Museum of Art on "War and Weimer Art."

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 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.. I charge a flat fee for all of my services.  I do this so that you and I can both focus on what needs to be done to win your case without worrying about the hours involved.  When appropriate, I actually look forward to going to trial.  Being charged with a crime can be a frightening and humiliating experience, but I know that every person has done amazing things in their life and has the potential to do even better.  I take very seriously my opportunity to help you so that you can make the most of your life..

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)..
