Alex E. Eichhorn--Founder & Managing Attorney
Alex E. Eichhorn is the founder and managing attorney of Pivot Work Injury Law, LLC (formerly Axis Legal), a Wisconsin law firm dedicated exclusively to representing injured workers. With more than a decade of experience, Alex and his team have helped over 3,000 injured workers recover the benefits and compensation they deserve and have secured more than $50 million on behalf of his clients.
Alex earned his J.D. from Marquette University Law School in 2014, where he concentrated on civil litigation and workers' compensation law. He graduated magna cum laude from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee and has remained closely connected to the university, most recently serving as the 2024 Commencement Keynote Speaker for UWM's College of Letters & Science.
While at Marquette, Alex was actively involved in the Legal Volunteer Clinic, Business Law Society, Intellectual Property Law Society, and Dispute Resolution Society. In 2014, he was selected to represent Marquette University in the American Bar Association Negotiation Competition, recognizing his early aptitude for advocacy and strategic negotiation.
Following graduation, Alex joined Tabak Law, LLC, where he built one of Wisconsin's largest workers' compensation practices and became an equity partner in 2016. In 2025, he founded Axis Legal, LLC to provide more focused, client-centered representation for injured workers. In 2026, the firm became Pivot Work Injury Law, reflecting its continued growth and its mission of helping injured workers move forward after life-changing workplace injuries.
Alex has been recognized throughout his career for his dedication to injured workers, including:
