also known as Joe Troy
Joe Troy is a Shareholder with the Firm. Joe had a long and distinguished career as a Wisconsin Circuit Court Judge and Chief Judge, before returning to private practice with Habush Habush & Rottier in 2007. Joe’s practice is dedicated exclusively to helping people who suffered personal injuries in accidents caused by other people’s carelessness and negligence. He has successfully recovered multi-million-dollar results for his clients in jury trials and settlements, but he has also helped hundreds of people with much smaller claims.
In 2018 he was named Personal Injury Attorney of the Year by Best Lawyers®. In 2004 he was named Wisconsin Trial Judge of the Year by the American Board of Trial Advocates. Joe is Wisconsin’s first attorney to receive these distinctions as both a judge and attorney.
Joe uses his unique experience as both a judge and attorney to help people who have suffered injuries which disrupt their lives, jeopardize their financial well-being, and impacts the lives of their loved ones.

Excellent and caring lawyer
We hired Joe Troy over 4 years ago to take on my personal injury care that was not an easy one in any way. Words cannot express our gratitude to Joe and his staff, especially Bonnie. My case took time because of workers compensation and multiple insurance companies. But they never stopped fightin...

Professional and Reliable
Joe Troy handled my long drawn out case with ease. Though it took a few years, Joe did everything in his power to bring me ease and confidence in the case.

I Got Lucky
I am a 65 year old man who was struck by an insured motorist when I was out exercising on my bicycle. I was hit directly from behind by the motorist who was traveling at least 25 m.p.h. I spun around in mid air and body slammed to the street. I was soaked in gutter water. It was a very stunning exper...
"I endorse this lawyer. Attorney Troy is top notch. His experience both on the bench and as a trial lawyer make him one of the best advocates around. He will handle your case with skill and compassion."
"Joe Troy is absolutely Top Notch. There are less than a handful of attorneys in this state whose experience spans 2 decades as a circuit court judge with almost another decade and a half of private practice experience in helping the badly injured. Smart, compassionate, experienced, and clever....you can not go wrong with this very fine attorney."
"Attorney Troy is the top of his field. His attention to detail along with the experience that over twenty years on the bench brings makes him the best choice for representation on any personal injury case. I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. No one can bring to a case the depth of expirience that Joe Troy can provide. As a former Judge he knows things that the average injury attorney does not. Joe is passionate in his representation of his clients. Anyone seeking a top quality injury attorney need look no further for their attorney."
