We Know Madison Employment Law
Since 1959, Hawks Quindel has fought for working people in Wisconsin. State and federal laws create a complex web of protections for employees. Our attorneys have a deep understanding of these laws and how they apply to situations like yours.

Pursuing a Fair Resolution
Litigation (Going to Court)
Sometimes, going to court is the necessary path to resolve a serious dispute. An employer’s willingness to negotiate often depends on the strength of your case. Our attorneys have decades of experience advocating for clients in investigations, hearings, and trials in courts and agencies in Madison and throughout Wisconsin.
Negotiation (Settling Out of Court)
Most employment disputes are resolved through skillful negotiation. We work to avoid costly litigation when possible by building a position of strength based on detailed research and clear evidence. Our goal is to achieve a fair resolution that allows you to move forward.
Depth of Experience
As a firm with experienced professionals across several related practice areas, we provide our clients with comprehensive counsel. Our employment law attorneys often collaborate with our firm's disability and workers' compensation teams. This gives us a broad perspective on the challenges you face and enhances the depth of our representation.
