Lisa A. Wiebusch
Biography
I am licensed to practice in both Wisconsin and Minnesota.
For over a decade my practice has focused on representing injured workers. I have successfully litigated many workers’ compensation cases and have extensive experience representing both the injured employee and the employer and its insurance company.
I have also handled many employment cases and have successfully litigated sex, race, age and disability discrimination cases. I am committed to providing clients with aggressive, competent and ethically sound representation. I work closely with clients at the outset of the engagement to identify their goals and preferred outcomes and then I devise a strategy to help the client accomplish those goals.
My commitment to professionalism extends beyond legal services. I have lectured at statewide seminars and have been active in our local bar association. I served as the St. Croix Valley Bar Association President in 1996.
