Throughout my 39 years as a personal injury trial lawyer I have also been a dedicated sports fan; I am a season ticket holder to the Milwaukee Brewers, Green Bay Packers, and I attend several Wisconsin Badger games every year. In addition to following most major sports at both the college and professional levels, I am an avid reader of both fiction and non-fiction with an admitted soft spot for mysteries and historical fiction. I also play a fair amount of golf during the summer months.. My wife of 42 years, Anita, is a remarkably accomplished woman. Anita is an RN, a psychotherapist, holds natropathic certification`, and is a highly regarded actress in local community theater. Anita remains an indescribably valuable part of every facet of my life, professional as well as personal.. Perhaps my greatest non-work passion is for my 3 (soon to be 4) grandchildren. I am fortunate to have both my sons, their wives, and all our grandchildren right here in Milwaukee so I get to spend a good deal of time with each of them. Being a grandfather is one of life's greatest blessings.

Matthew Pinix

Firm: Pinix Law, LLC
1200 East Capitol Drive, Suite 360 , Milwaukee , Wisconsin 53211
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense, Civil Rights
For over fifteen years, I've been fighting and winning criminal appeals in Wisconsin. Day in and day out, I come to my office to fight the system that has incarcerated my clients. And I do that work as a professional appellate attorney. That's almost all I do: fight for my clients as a criminal appeals attorney.. You should know: if you're appealing a conviction in Wisconsin, the State will be represented by an attorney who only handles criminal appeals. In other words, the State's going to have a professional appellate attoreny on its side. You should too.. You wouldn't hire a heart surgeon to do brain surgery. Don't hire a trial attorney to handle your appeal. Hire a professional appellate attorney and make it a fair fight against the State.

Marcus Hirsch

Firm: The Law Office of Marcus B Hirsch LLC
141 N Jackson St , Milwaukee , Wisconsin 53202
Practice Areas: Family, General Practice, Criminal Defense, DUI & DWI, Speeding Ticket, Landlord & Tenant
Marcus Hirsch is the founder and senior partner of the Law Office of Marcus B. Hirsch, LLC. He handles family, civil, traffic, and “light” criminal matters, along with a whole host of randomly intriguing cases brought to him that keep law work interesting. These cases oftentimes start with clients asking, “Do you do (insert strangely unique circumstances and type of case)?”. Marcus grew up in the year-round warmth and sunny tropical comfort of West Palm Beach, Florida, but wound up in the snow and coldness of Milwaukee after graduation from Marquette University Law School in 2015. He is well-known among friends and colleagues for paying homage to his roots by wearing sandals despite the extreme Wisconsin weather until it’s absolutely impractical and borderline dangerous for the health of his feet.. In his spare time, Marcus supports the local South Florida professional sports teams (especially the Florida Panthers and Miami Heat), and as a University of Miami alum, the Hurricanes. He can be found skating for one of his two adult hockey league teams, on a softball field chasing down fly balls in the outfield, or in front of a TV cheering and willing his fantasy sports franchise, The Jabronis, to victory.
