Gimbel, Reilly, Guerin & Brown, LLP Serving Wisconsin Since 1968
History of the Law Firm
In 1968, after arguing some of the most high profile cases of the day as a federal prosecutor for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, Franklyn M. Gimbel founded the firm. Frank’s late brother, Stanley P. Gimbel, joined the firm a year later, followed by former federal prosecutors Richard E. Reilly and Thomas E. Brown, and former Department of Justice Special Agent D. Michael Guerin.
The firm has continued to build upon this strong base of attorneys ever since.
Today, Gimbel, Reilly, Guerin & Brown, LLP is recognized as one of the best trial and litigation firms in Wisconsin. Our attorneys have successfully represented individuals and businesses in a wide variety of cases, from white collar criminal investigations and serious criminal offenses, to personal injury and complex civil litigation, to family law and 4)real estate matters. They have earned the respect of the legal community and are recognized for their skill and experience not only by our clients, but also by colleagues, adversaries and judges. Gimbel, Reilly, Guerin & Brown, LLP is known for its tradition of honesty, candor and in-depth preparation and presentation.
