Bob Gingras and his firm have protected me for over three decades. Some time ago while serving as…read morethe Executive Director of the State of Wisconsin Investment Board (SWIB), I found the need to report financial and political corruption to the State Attorney General and the State Auditor. I was fired by the end of the that week. A former SWIB Trustee recommended only one attorney that afternoon - Bob Gingras. That evening, Bob Gingras drafted a press release that became the lead article in the Wisconsin newspapers the next morning and began the lawsuit to preserve the records and facts. After years of stalling by the Governor and his high-paid & tax-paid attorneys, the Judge caused a settlement on the second day of the trial. That "fresh start" with compensation gained by Gingras' firm allowed me and my family to continue my career in Global Financial Management with assignments in twenty-five countries. Please believe me, the selection and use of an attorney is NOT a well-planned event. A law firm must have the talent to carry your case through the entire court process, including a successful trial and an abundance of financial resources to complete the case to your benefits. The talent, or team of talent and experience, must have a track record of accomplishment and integrity that you personally TRUST.
