Virginia E. George is our newest partner. Virginia joined the firm in April, 2019 and leads our Milwaukee office.

Some of Ms. George’s most notable achievements include the collection of a twenty-million-dollar Petroleum Environmental Clean-up Fund Act portfolio for a national lender and an award of the largest punitive damage verdict in state history in favor of multiple families defrauded by a bank. Most recently, in her role as a Chapter 7 panel trustee and during the state-wide COVID-19 shutdown, she successfully negotiated the sale of “The Bull Golf Course” and previously negotiated and won approval of ITO Industries, a shuttered electric bare-board manufacturer. She also obtains results for companies, farms, and persons reorganizing their debts. She holds an AV Preeminent® and AV Preeminent Attorney-Judicial Edition rating from Martindale-Hubbell.
