Milwaukee Brewers Make The Playoffs!

Readers of this website know that I am a Wisconsin based tax lawyer.  More specifically, I work out of Milwaukee.  Living in Milwaukee has been particularly thrilling as the Milwaukee Brewers have marched towards the playoffs.  Who could ask for a more exciting ride...the playoffs come following a series of losses and with a victory against the rival Cubs in the final game of the regular season. Wow...really.  Wow.

Good luck Brewers.  Keep Milwaukee famous.

Friday's Tax Quote.

“Unquestionably, there is progress.  The average American now pays out almost as much in taxes alone as he formerly got in wages.”

Blogging Lawyers

A relatively small group of lawyers use blogs to provide information to the public.  However, it is my personal opinion that more lawyers should do so.  For that reason, I recently co-wrote an article on setting up a legal blog with Attorney Jon Groth, a personal injury attorney and author of the Wisconsin Personal Injury Attorney Weblog.  The article will appear in this month's Wisconsin Lawyer magazine published by the Wisconsin State Bar. 

The article can be found here.
