Top 25 Milwaukee & Top 50 Wisconsin Lawyers Lists from Super Lawyers

I don't blog much but believe the most important topic I address here is how to find Top Personal Injury Lawyers or other attorneys.  The best way is a referral from a lawyer you already know, like and trust.  However, many folks don't have such lawyers and so the next best way to find qualified reputable Wisconsin attorneys is to use sources that include Best Lawyers in America, Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings (AV® Preeminent™), and Super Lawyers.  Be aware, even those sources have attorneys pay for prime positioning or visibility on their websites, but neither attorney Jeff Zirgibel nor myself pay to be named.  Now, for the second year in a row (2025 and 2026), Super Lawyers has named us on its lists for the Top 25 Milwaukee & Top 50 Wisconsin Lawyers.

Wisconsin's Best Lawyers in America©


I am extremely proud to announce that both Jeff Zirgibel and I were recently selected by our peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers in America© 2015 in the field of Personal Injury Litigation - Plaintiffs.  Inclusion in Best Lawyers© is highly selective and "based on an exhaustive and rigorous peer-reviewed survey."

Phone Calls From Lawyers After a Car Accident

Today, for the first time, I learned from a client that she not only received personal injury lawyers' letters after her Milwaukee car accident, but received about 20 phone calls from lawyers on her mobile phone.  This is absolutely, positively disgusting and a direct ethical violation of Wisconsin Supreme Court Rule SCR 20:7.3, which prohibits such contact.  Wisconsin lawyers must not directly solicit clients they don't know, aren't related to, or haven't been asked to call.  Even though your cell phone number or home phone number is listed in a car accident report, this doesn't open you up to phone calls from lawyers, Wisconsin chiropractors working for lawyers, or anyone else working for or on behalf of a lawyer.

I highly recommend that you answer these attorneys' phone calls, find out the Wisconsin law office or lawyer they are working for, and then immediately report the lawyer to the Wisconsin Office of Lawyer Regulation.  You can easily submit a grievance over the telephone at (608) 267-7274 or (877) 315-6941 (toll free).

Do not hire a lawyer or go to a "free" visit with anyone as the result of a telephone call.  Hiring a Wisconsin lawyer or law firm is an important decision and shouldn't be done that way.

Accident victims looking for the best Wisconsin lawyer should use independent sources like Best Lawyers in America (Wisconsin Best Lawyers), Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings (AV® Preeminent™), and Super Lawyers (Wisconsin Super Lawyers). For a personal injury attorney, make sure that the lawyers are active members of The American Association for Justice and Wisconsin Association for Justice.

The Best Lawyers in America letter

Honored to share this news, which comes to me for the first time. Very few Wisconsin personal injury lawyers ever attain this honor.
