Four Weld Riley, S.C. attorneys named to 2018 Wisconsin Super Lawyers lists

Four Weld Riley attorneys recognized as among the best lawyers in Wisconsin.

In its November 2018 annual list of top lawyers, Super Lawyers Magazine rated Steve Weld, Bill Wallo, Daneille Strong, and Bryan Symes as being among the best attorneys in the state in their respective practice areas. The annual list is determined through a process which involves peer nominations, independent research, and selection by a final review panel. Only 5% of attorneys are selected as “Super Lawyers,” while only 2.5% of attorneys under the age of 40, or with less than 10 years of practice, are selected as “Rising Stars.”

Firm founder and president Steve Weld has been selected to the Super Lawyers list every year since its inception in 2005 and has been listed among The Best Lawyers in America since 1995. His practice is focused primarily on management labor and employment law.

Bill Wallo has been selected to the Super Lawyers list for the past three years. Bill’s practice focuses on business transactions, commercial litigation, and business bankruptcy, insolvency, and restructuring matters.

Daneille Strong has been selected as a Super Lawyers “Rising Star” for the past three years, as a top-rated attorney in the area of creditor/debtor rights. Daneille’s practice focuses on worker’s compensation defense, creditors’ rights, and collection matters.

Bryan Symes was first selected as a Super Lawyers “Rising Star” in 2011, and has been selected each year since 2013 as a top-rated attorney in the area of employment and labor. Bryan’s practice focuses on employment law and litigation, labor relations and alternative dispute resolution.

Other Weld Riley attorneys previously recognized by Super Lawyers Magazine include John Robert Behling (Rising Star, Administrative Law); William Milne (Rising Star, Estate Planning and Probate); Thomas Misfeldt (Super Lawyer, Personal Injury); Kathryn Prenn (Super Lawyer, Employment & Labor); and Ryan Steffes (Rising Star, Employment & Labor).
