Richard J. Carlson

I have more than 20 years of experience in land use, municipal services, contamination, water rights, licenses and permits, governmental decisions affecting individuals and businesses, real estate and business litigation. I have successfully litigated business cases involving contracts, trade secrets, dealerships, employment and other issues in state and federal courts. I am voted by my peers as the best lawyer in the area for natural resources and environmental law. I also enjoy restoring the natural habitat on my property along the Embarrass River. I am a former urban planner in Maryland and Wisconsin. I am a legal advisor to the Northeast Wisconsin Land Trust. I also serve as legal counsel for a number of towns and often asked to advise or represent cities and counties. I have published articles and given lectures on land use regulations and served as an instructor in the Urban Affairs Program at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh.
