Our beginnings
Jack D. Moertl, Founding Attorney
n 1949, shortly after graduating from Marquette University Law School, Jack D. Moertl established what would become a trusted and enduring law firm in the heart of Milwaukee’s central business district. From the very beginning, Jack focused his practice on estate planning, business law, real estate, and tax planning—helping individuals and families plan thoughtfully for the future.
As the firm’s founding and managing shareholder, Jack set the standard for integrity, careful counsel, and long-term client relationships. His vision created a firm built not just to serve clients in the moment, but to guide families and businesses across generations. Jack remained actively involved until his retirement, leaving behind a legacy that continues to shape the firm today.

His practice focused on estate planning, probate and trust administration, tax preparation, and elder law. Expanding services to meet the evolving needs of clients and their families.
