Outside the Office
Phil enjoys deer and bird hunting in Wisconsin’s north woods and has introduced hundreds of adults and children to the shooting sports.
Certified as a Level 1 Shotgun Coach and a Range Safety Officer, Phil has been coaching schoolchildren in the shooting sports for nearly a decade. His athletes gain mental discipline and intense focus as they learn to excel at the clay target sports.
Community Leadership
In addition to coaching and to helping nonprofits in Waukesha County, Phil abundantly contributes his knowledge of the law to his community.
For more than 20 years, Phil has presented at two courses he helped create for the State Bar of Wisconsin’s Continuing Legal Education Department, PINNACLE. In both, he shares current and practical legal information and resources. Phil also speaks frequently to community groups about estate planning, business succession planning, marital property and probate. Additionally, he taught at Marquette University Law School for five years.
Phil values the opportunities Husch Blackwell provides for its attorneys to do pro bono work and takes on several cases a year.
