About David M. Skoglind

At my firm — the Skoglind Law Office, S.C. — I represent clients in the Milwaukee metro area and throughout Wisconsin in personal injury, car accident and wrongful death cases. I have been practicing as a Wisconsin personal injury attorney since 1982, and during that time, I have refined my skills continuously. In every case I handle, regardless of its size, my practice is grounded in three main principles: guidance, trust, and experience.
