Welcome to KravitLaw.com
This is the home of Wisconsin’s finest boutique “aggravated litigation™” law firm. We have been bringing, defending, trying, and most of all, successfully resolving our clients’ most difficult cases for 22 years. All of our highly credentialed lawyers handle only “aggravated litigation™.” What is “aggravated litigation™”?When the stakes are high, an unresolved dispute makes your business and personal life miserable. This is true whether the dispute is a festering undercurrent that seems like it will never resolve; builds and develops over time; or is brought on by a sudden, traumatic event. Fraud may be discovered; long time business relationships are ended or need to end; contracts are broken; employees leave to compete, or are hired from competitors; dealerships are terminated; banks foreclose, or creditors need to assert their rights; your professional license is in jeopardy; a product is causing damage; shareholders and partners are oppressed or treated unfairly; insurance coverage is denied; a patent or trademark dispute is brewing; there is a ‘bet the company’ claim; the government is being unreasonable; criminal charges are being considered or brought; or personal freedom is at stake. If any of these or similar scenarios apply to you, you are involved in “aggravated litigation.” What do we mean by “highly credentialed lawyers”? We are aggressive, experienced practitioners before all Wisconsin state and federal trial and appellate courts. We know how to try cases to juries, arbitrators, hearing boards, and ADR forums. Our lawyers and staff can analyze and organize the most complex issues and voluminous documents. We identify the critical evidence and issues, then focus the fact-finder on them from the outset. Our experience and insight help to reduce expense and increase trial effectiveness. That experience also guides us in solving difficult trial problems, including the communication of sophisticated concepts through visual and demonstrative evidence, and in overcoming jury bias and sympathy. Skill in the courtroom translates to favorable settlement outside the courtroom. We are well schooled and well trained. Our lawyers attended excellent law schools, including Harvard, Stanford, Wisconsin, Syracuse and Marquette, and did well. Many of us were formerly associated with large law firms, but chose to practice in the environment of this smaller, specialized firm. All of us have backgrounds of outstanding achievement, such as clerking for federal trial or appeals courts, or state supreme courts; membership on law review, or past experience as a federal prosecutor. We rely on talented staff and state-of-the-art computer support to deliver high quality service in complex litigation. We are recognized by our peers. Steve Kravit has been listed in the Best Lawyers in America for over 10 years; was named a “Best Lawyer in Milwaukee” by Milwaukee Magazine three times; and was named one of the top 50 “Wisconsin Superlawyers” in 2005 and 2006. Mike Fischer and Mark Leitner were named “Wisconsin Superlawyers,” and Joe Goode was named a “Wisconsin Superlawyer Rising Star.” Most of our lawyers have published articles; taught at law schools or continuing legal education seminars for lawyers or judges; and served community groups with distinction. Our firm has special litigation expertise in fraud and RICO; bad faith; insurance and environmental coverage; employment law; patent and intellectual property infringement; fair dealership; shareholder oppression; product safety; antitrust; securities litigation; professional licensing actions; and commercial claims. Our highly regarded white collar criminal practice includes representation of persons and companies accused of fraud, and those victimized by it.
