A century of service to the La Crosse area

On March 1, 1919, Quincy H. Hale began his long and distinguished career in the practice of law in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Mr. Hale shared an office with two other attorneys who had an established practice in La Crosse and was allowed to use their law library, but received no salary for his efforts. From these humble beginnings, Quincy Hale created a law practice that prospered and grew into the firm of Hale, Skemp, Hanson, Skemp & Sleik, now celebrating its 100th year.

For many decades, Hale, Skemp, Hanson, Skemp & Sleik has been a leader in the legal profession in La Crosse. Its attorneys have handled many important matters in the State and Federal Courts of Wisconsin, Minnesota, and other jurisdictions and have argued cases before the United States Supreme Court and the United States Circuit Court Court of Appeals.

Hale, Skemp, Hanson, Skemp & Sleik attorneys have played prominent roles in the Wisconsin State Bar Association, with two of its past partners, Quincy Hale and Thomas Sleik, serving as State Bar Presidents. Others in the firm have served with distinction upon the State Bar Board of Governors and a wide array of State Bar section and committee leadership positions.

Our firm has always been one of the largest in Western Wisconsin. Our many lawyers provide a full spectrum of services to the La Crosse area, Western Wisconsin and Southeastern Minnesota, including personal injury, accident and trial practice for both plaintiffs and defendants, estate planning and trusts, family law and divorce, and business law of all types, to name a few areas of practice.

We’re very proud of our past accomplishments and service to the La Crosse area and are devoted to continuing this legacy in the future. Our tradition is to provide the highest quality legal services in the La Crosse area and we constantly strive to maintain that reputation.
