I have been practicing law since my graduation from Marquette U Law School in 1976. I started my own plaintiff personal injury firm in 1985. I have obtained the then highest record compensatory damage awards for personal injury claims three times in my career. In 2009 the Wisconsin Law Journal honored me as a "Leader in the Law". Lawyers in the State have voted me as one of the top 10 personal injury lawyers in Wisconsin and I was named as the top personal injury attorney in 1999 by Milwaukee Magazine.
I am a member of the Inner Circle of Advocates, a national invitation only plaintiff personal injury attorney organization that limits its members to 100.
I am also a member of the national inviation only organizations, the American College of Trial Lawyers, the International Society of Barristers and American Board of Trial Advocates.

I appreciated the high level of honesty and integrity that Mr. Dunphy exhibited when working with my sons case. I highly recommend this firm to anybody who needs legal advice.

In reviewing Mr. Dunphy, I would ask consideration of my background of 40 years in litigation. Mr. Dunphy is on any litigation attorney's top five all time list.
