About Sheila
Biography
I have been a family law attorney for more than 36 years. I represent both men and women in divorce and family law cases, including property division, child custody and physical placement, child support, maintenance and paternity. I have also served as a Guardian ad Litem in divorce and paternity matters where I was appointed by the judge to represent the best interests of minor children whose parents are litigating custody and placement. I also provide mediation and arbitration services for parties who are interested in resolving their family law disputes without costly litigation.
I have been selected as a Super Lawyer in Wisconsin each year since 2006. Super Lawyers is a service that rates lawyers each year based on independent research, peer nominations and peer evaluations. I have also been named one of the Top 100 Trial Lawyers in Wisconsin, an M Magazine Milwaukee Leading Lawyer in 2015-20, a Top Lawyer in Wisconsin 2016, 2016 Best Lawyers in America-Family Law, Elite Lawyers 2020-24 and America's Most Honored Professionals honoree 2016.
