Spotlight on Expansion of Scopelitis’ Milwaukee Office

Scopelitis has an established national practice in transportation law, including robust accident and workers’ compensation defense practices in its Indianapolis, Chicago, Detroit, Dallas/Fort Worth, and Milwaukee offices. The Firm represents insurance carriers and self-insureds alike in protecting the employer’s interest when personal injury and/or property damage claims arise and in paying only the appropriate benefits in workers’ compensation claims.

The Firm recently announced the addition of four attorneys to its Milwaukee office who bring extensive experience in transportation law – one in accident litigation and the others in workers’ compensation defense.

“We need to be as sharp at defending accident and workers’ compensation claims as we are at guiding executive teams through issues critical to their companies’ strategic growth,” said Scopelitis President and Managing Partner Greg Feary. “Our newest attorneys will help us stay sharp in areas of existing strength,” Feary said.

Thomas Gonzalez joins the Firm’s accident defense team. Gonzalez brings 20 years of experience in representing motor carriers, brokers, and shippers in all areas of litigation.

Mary Beth Hughes, Michael McFarlane, and Margaret Krei have more than 30 years of collective experience in workers’ compensation defense. They counsel employers on a variety of issues, including: independent contractor status; designing and executing creative strategies to prevent litigation and reduce costs; investigating injuries; employment decisions; and negotiating global settlements to help employers proactively protect against claims not covered under the Workers’ Compensation Act.

Scopelitis Partners Jay Starrett and Steve Stanaszak were instrumental in bringing the four new attorneys to the Milwaukee office. “I’ve had the pleasure of working with these attorneys on cases for a number of years,” Starrett said. “Their understanding of how their issues affect both short- and long-term outcomes of business affairs for motor carriers will serve their clients well,” Starrett said. “And their eagerness to jump in and work with our national team of transportation attorneys make them a perfect fit for Scopelitis.”
