Media inquiries
The SPD’s public affairs team responds to media inquiries and connects reporters with our expert attorneys across the state. They can be reached at [email protected].
Please note that under Wisconsin Supreme Court ethics rules (SCR 20:1.6), our firm is strictly prohibited from providing information relating to client representation or even acknowledging whether an individual is a client without their express consent.
In a formal ethics opinion, the State Bar of Wisconsin states that “even information that may be available from public sources remains protected as long as it is information relating to the representation of a client.”
