Summary

Hello, my name is Gretchen, and I am an attorney. I have been practicing in the State of Wisconsin since 2003. My practice has been primarily in criminal defense, but I have experience in other areas as well. I worked as a prosecutor for a couple of years in Milwaukee County and I have done family law. My family law experience included handling divorces, custody disputes and maintenance. Tenacious Criminal Defense Attorney focused on timely and high-quality work with a knack for public speaking and to work long, irregular hours. Superior organization skills and attention to detail with approachable, professional attitude. Ready to take on more clients and stay committed to each case from detainment to prosecution.
