This from former Attorney General Peg Lautenschlager’s new employer, Lawton & Cates, s.c.

“Prior to her tenure as Wisconsin Attorney General, Peg Lautenschlager served as a United States Attorney, a state legislator, and a district attorney. She has earned recognition for her work in consumer protection, health care issues, environmental litigation and workers’ rights.”

And this about the firm:

John A. Lawton and Richard L. Cates formed a partnership in 1958. John Lawton was actively involved with labor law and union work. Dick Cates established the litigation practice.

Through the years, lawyers at Lawton & Cates have tried nearly every conceivable type of dispute in nearly every forum. There are very few areas of substantive law in which the firm’s lawyers have not worked. Injuries caused by automobiles or defective products, medical malpractice, toxic chemical exposures, environmental litigation, insurance coverage issues, criminal proceedings, business, tax, family law and employment disputes are just some of the firm’s practice areas.

The mission of the firm is to provide legal guidance in an ethical and socially responsible manner with honesty and excellence, while emphasizing the human dignity of our clients, our staff and the community.
