GTW Merges with Richie Wachs

The law firms of Gingras, Thomsen & Luebke and Richie, Wachs have merged to form Gingras, Thomsen & Wachs (GTW). The merger is effective immediately and brings together all of the attorneys from two prominent plaintiff firms with offices now in Eau Claire, Madison and Waukesha, WI.

In addition to the formation of the newly merged law firm, Milwaukee Attorney, Mark Thomsen has joined the firm and will work out of the Waukesha office. Thomsen, a highly respected attorney, has been practicing law for more than 30 years in the Milwaukee area, and most recently at the law firm of Cannon & Dunphy.

Attorney Mark Thomsen obtained his law degree from Marquette University Law School. He is on the Board of Directors for the Wisconsin Association for Justice, and served as the President in 2009. Thomsen is currently the Chair of the Wisconsin Elections Commission, as well as a member on other boards and associations.

“I am very proud and excited to join quality lawyers, with integrity and courage, in our new growing firm with a statewide presence to better serve our clients wherever they call home,” says Attorney Mark Thomsen. “It is also a special privilege to be reunited with my former partner, Lynn Laufenberg, to expand our new firm’s services in southeast Wisconsin and Milwaukee personal injury legal services, ” adds Attorney Thomsen.

“Like the lawyers we are joining from Gingras, Thomsen & Luebke, Dana, and I have prided ourselves on delivering quality representation in the Chippewa Valley and throughout the State of Wisconsin. This merger will broaden each firm’s state-wide presence without taking away from all of our local ties,” says Attorney John Richie formerly of Richie & Wachs

GTW has 12 attorneys located in the three Wisconsin offices and employs just under 20 other legal professionals. GTW focuses on personal injury, insurance misconduct, professional malpractice, class action law suits, civil rights and employment law, as well as family law.
