About Robert
Biography
I founded our firm in Madison in 1989. It was just me and one legal assistant. We now have three offices in the state with 12 lawyers and 19 great employees. The firm has grown under the premise that we will do our best to help good people in need. Our core values are hard work and honesty, and we are proud that our slogan (We'll Be With You Every Step of the Way.®) is something we actually do each day with our clients. These values that drive our firm are the same values I learned from my parents growing up in Minot, North Dakota.
I want to tell you why I practice law. I take on difficult and complex cases for individuals and their families against the big corporations and insurance companies. I do this because I want to equal the playing field and I want to help good people fight for what is rightfully owed to them. In other words, I want to do what I can to right the wrongs in our world. Whether it be sexual harassment in the workplace, or an insurance company denying a claim it should honor, or a drunk driver changing a family's life forever – nothing gives me greater satisfaction than cross-examining the perpetrator and either obtaining a favorable settlement or having a jury return a verdict that speaks the truth. I am good at my job because I believe in what I do to make things right for my clients.
