Michael F. Hupy

Mike Hupy has been an attorney for myself or my family in several issues for over the last decade. When I was hit while driving my motorcycle near his Milwaukee office, his investigator was there ensuring my safety before police arrived, getting photos of the scene, and helping me to move my wrecked bike out of traffic while we waited for the wrecker. Then he took me to my wife, and made sure I got a ride to the hospital for appropriate care. He doesn't go to this extreme for every incident, but it exemplifies the kind of car he gives to see that each and every case gets handled in the best interest of his clients. Mike is the kind of man who sees to it that there is a foundation to protect the settlement and long term interests of a client who was left with limited ability to care for himself. Mike and I share similar beliefs. When I was coordinating a campaign for the United Way, I invited Mike to come to my corporate office where he delivered an impactful explanation of why he lives a life of charity and feels compelled to personally support and provide for so many of the needs of the community. His presentation and donation helped drive a significant increase in our annual participation and contributions. But his reason explained so much more about him and all that he does. Mike participates in numerous major charity events in our region, and in ways that inspire others. His corporate tables at the MDA Black n Blue Ball are filled with people who care enough to give of themselves. He helps organizations of bikers and provides busses to help get them to the capital together to lobby for safety and rights issues that matter to them. He keeps a man on staff who advocates for motorcycle safety and rights related issues among his other duties. He helps many people and organizations who help themselves and others, and all this while maintaining a steady schedule of rights activism. When your business is "Ambulance Chasing", the world expects that you will be concerned only in lining your own pockets. But that isn't Mike. A a boy, Mike was involved in an accident that put a strain on his family. He saw the impact, and as he grew, looked for a way to help reduce the burden that such an event placed on others. As a lawyer, he made his life's work out of that simple purpose. And as a business man, he finds that a part of his own blessings should be returned to the community in which he lives and works. His family bestowed on him the moral values that compel a man to give of himself; to use and see his acts of charity as an investment in his neighbors and community, not as a handout. Mike Hupy and his team took care of my wife and I in several cases, getting settlements that helped us immensely. They provide advice and service for my motorcycle club whenever we need legal help. They have gone above and beyond in getting settlements for my family and friends when we thought there was no way to recover. And Mike is so much more than an outstanding attorney. He cares, honestly, about his clients and his community. At my office, when he gave his presentation, Mike didn't tell everybody all the things that he does, but luckily I had told them before he arrived. When they asked him why he does these things, the answer may have sounded trite without some history. But having this history, everybody knew that it was heartfelt, and honest. There was nothing left to be said when Mike told them: "it's what we are supposed to do for each other."

Thank you for being very responsive. The initial visit representative came to me. I will refer you to others.
