Why Choose Scott L. Schroeder?

Many clients have a concern that a lawyer will not be up to the challenge of taking on a large employer or law firm. I have done so my entire career. I have taken on a dog track and its multiple legal teams at a RICO (racketeering) case in state and federal court early in my career. I regularly sue large corporations, insurance companies, newspapers, health systems, cities, municipalities, and even the State of Wisconsin in employment law claims. Often I will be called in as an outsider to the community to take on a powerful local employer. On a local level, I routinely go after our large local employers. You need to level the playing field by hiring an experienced litigator.

Unemployment Compensation Claims

Many people go into unemployment compensation claims without the advice of a lawyer. It costs nothing to call and review your case over the phone. The most that an attorney can charge for an unemployment law claim is 10% of your benefits at issue. It may be worth this cost to hire an attorney.

Know Your Employment Rights.
