Paige fights for clients in fiduciary litigation, construction litigation, and other general business disputes.
In her fiduciary litigation practice, Paige has represented clients on all sides of cases, litigating both for and against trustees and beneficiaries. She has defended trustees against allegations of breach of fiduciary duty, as well as pursued similar cases against trustees. Paige also has experience with estates that lack a trust, where beneficiaries are disputing a will instead, often with allegations of undue influence. Many of Paige’s cases involve sensitive family disputes that require resolution beyond just a dollar-value judgment or settlement. She often engages in mediation, representing clients in negotiations to achieve the best outcome for all parties. Paige understands that fiduciary litigation is a deeply personal area of law, and she loves representing real people in matters that are personally meaningful to them.
Her construction litigation practice centers on a similar theme: Paige usually represents smaller companies where she works directly with the owners instead of with an in-house legal team, and she values the opportunity to help these clients protect their businesses. Paige represents construction companies, contractors, subcontractors, and property owners in a variety of construction disputes—both those that involve construction gone wrong, and construction not begun.
Alongside her billable practice, Paige also leads the pro bono guardianship program in the firm’s Milwaukee office. Through the firm’s partnership with the Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, she works regularly with the parents of children with disabilities to establish legal guardianships over their children, allowing them to continue to make medical decisions to care and advocate for their child.
Known for her ability to explain complex legal concepts to non-attorneys, Paige excels at client communication. In many of her cases, she represents individuals and business owners who have never found themselves in litigation before, and she has a gift for guiding them empathetically through a difficult process.
