We are honored to share that Hawks Quindel's Milwaukee Employment Discrimination Team has been recognized as the Face of Workplace Justice in Milwaukee Magazine's August 2026 issue.
While we are grateful for this recognition, what matters most to us is the work behind it. Every day, our attorneys have the privilege of representing employees facing some of the most difficult moments of their careers. Whether someone has experienced discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, wage theft, or a failure to accommodate a disability, our goal is the same: to provide knowledgeable, compassionate, and effective advocacy.
Employment disputes are deeply personal. Losing a job, reporting unlawful conduct, or standing up for your rights can be overwhelming. We understand that legal issues often affect not only our clients' careers, but also their financial security, families, and well-being. That is why we strive to provide practical guidance, honest advice, and strategic representation from the very first conversation through resolution.
Our employment teams represent employees in matters involving:
· Workplace discrimination based on race, sex, pregnancy, age, disability, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, and other protected characteristics.
· Sexual harassment and hostile work environment claims.
· Retaliation for reporting discrimination, harassment, safety concerns, wage violations, or other protected activity.
· Disability accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Wisconsin law.
· Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and Wisconsin Family and Medical Leave Act (WFMLA) issues.
· Wage and hour disputes, including unpaid overtime and misclassification.
· Pregnancy discrimination and PUMP Act claims.
· Employment agreements, non-compete and restrictive covenant disputes, severance negotiations, and executive compensation matters.
We are proud to serve employees throughout Milwaukee and across Wisconsin, helping individuals understand their rights and navigate complex workplace challenges.
Recognition like this reflects the trust our clients place in us and the dedication of our attorneys and staff who work tirelessly to advocate for fairness in the workplace. We are incredibly thankful to everyone who has entrusted us with their stories and allowed us to stand beside them.
Thank you to Milwaukee Magazine for this honor, and congratulations to our outstanding Milwaukee Employment Discrimination Team. We remain committed to advancing workplace justice, one client, one case, and one workplace at a time.
