Skilled and strategic in employment litigation

I engaged Michaela Utrup at Jackson Lewis to defend my Milwaukee-based business against a complex wrongful termination claim. Despite being relatively new to the bar, her preparation was meticulous. She clearly leveraged the deep labor and employment expertise of her firm, and her recognition in Best Lawyers for management-side work felt well-earned. Michaela explained the litigation strategy clearly, was a fierce negotiator, and we achieved a very favorable settlement. Her billing was transparent, though there were a few instances where I wished for slightly quicker email responses during non-critical phases. Overall, I have significant confidence in her abilities and would recommend her for Wisconsin employment matters.
