Forget the “Big Law” grind. We’re a specialized firm in Central Wisconsin focusing on Social Security Disability, Worker’s Compensation, and Elder Law—meaning our work has a real impact on people navigating some of the most challenging moments of their lives.
We’re looking for an Associate to join our growing team—ideally with a background in Workers’ Comp, but we’re more interested in your drive than your years on paper. We don't believe in gatekeeping; we’re here to train the next generation of leaders and future partners. Whether you’re a recent grad or looking for a change, if you’re eager to actually practice law in a supportive, collaborative space, we want to help you build a long-term career here.
Why You’ll Want to Build Your Career Here
Open Access to Experience
We believe in developing attorneys, not gatekeeping knowledge. You’ll receive hands‑on mentorship in client management, witness examination, negotiations, and litigation strategy.
A Pathway to Leadership

Meaningful Advocacy
You’ll represent clients who truly need a strong voice, both in administrative hearings and in federal court. Your work will matter every single day.

- Wisconsin Law License (or on track to obtain one soon)
- Strong Writing Skills with the ability to craft compelling, persuasive briefs
- Empathy and the ability to connect with clients from all backgrounds
- Intellectual Curiosity and a willingness to learn in a team‑oriented setting
- Bonus: Experience in Workers’ Compensation or Social Security Law (not required—we’ll train the right person)

- Paid Holiday, Sick, and Vacation Time
- Dental, Vision, Life, and Long‑Term Disability Insurance
- 401(k) Retirement Plan
