Pro-Bono Circuit Court Appeal (O'Connor)

We have considered it an honor to represent the Rock-Koshkonong Lake District for these past several years and we are proud of the work we have done to assist the District in ensuring the restoration and transfer of the Indianford Dam, supporting wetland restoration and working to establish a water level order that reasonably balances the competing interests of boaters, shore owners, and owners of recreational wetlands.

We are troubled that the significant investments made by the District and its taxpayers have not resulted in a reasoned ruling on the two critical legal issues discussed above.

For that reason, our firm is prepared to appeal the ALJ’s determination on these issues to the circuit court without additional attorneys’ fees to the District.

Such an appeal would be limited to these legal issues, which we believe factor importantly in the ALJ’s affirmance of DNR’s water level order.
