Matthiesen, Wickert & Lehrer, S.C. is growing. We are proud to announce the addition of several new attorneys. We appreciate the continued trust and confidence our clients have shown in our abilities to maximize their subrogation recoveries anywhere within North America, and the increased recovery business entrusted to us has necessitated the addition of several experienced new attorneys, including two in our New Orleans office. Please help us in welcoming them.
