About

Attorney Jody L. Usow is an experienced litigator in Family, Civil and Criminal law. She has tried hundreds of cases in Wisconsin Circuit Courts since 1986 and specializes in these three practice areas. Jody's unique experience in these three practice areas means that the overlap, for example, between Family and Criminal law, can provide clients with representation on multiple fronts. It is increasingly common, for example, that a party in a family case may also need representation in a related case, such as criminal domestic violence, or a restraining order, at the same time. Attorney Usow has broad experience trying cases before juries and courts throughout Wisconsin, with a primary focus in Milwaukee, Waukesha, Ozaukee and Racine Counties. Her extensive experience in the high-stress, high-stakes courtroom environment provide her with the skills to manage challenging cases and high conflict situations for clients who realize that the experience of a litigator can make all the difference in negotiating a successful outcome in any setting, whether in the courtroom or face to face.
