Keith R. Stachowiak

Mr. Stachowiak continues fighting for his clients and expanding the law until he reaches the right result. As an accomplished and relentless advocate, he has taken four of his cases to the Wisconsin Supreme Court on his clients’ behalf:

• Richards v. Badger Mutual (liability for common scheme or plan, aka aiding and abetting)
• Orlowski v. State Farm (collateral source, which resulted in a 7-0 decision in favor of Ms. Orlowski)
• Schinner v. West Bend Mutual (insurance coverage for injuries resulting from serving alcohol to an underage individual)
• Brown v. Acuity (immunity arising out of a motor vehicle accident involving a volunteer firefighter)

He has also authored dozens of appellate briefs, including those for notable cases of Thomas v. Bickler, Hansen v. Crown Controls, and Hop v. Hoechst Celanese. Mr. Stachowiak has also handled three pro bono appeals for individuals that won in the circuit court, but needed appellate counsel they could not afford. 

• Mayer v. Kendl
• Duston v. Badger Lease 
• Layber v. Ziolkowski
