A legal case is not resolved in a courtroom trial alone.  In fact, in many cases what eventually happens in an courtroom is dictated by what happened outside of the courtroom before the case ever came to trial or even after the trial if the case is appealed.  Pellino, Rosen & Mowris, S.C. is committed to providing our clients with quality representation inside and outside of the courtroom.  Over the course of some twenty-five years of varied legal experience including working for judges and the Wisconsin legislature, Susan Blesener has developed the research, analytical, and writing skills critical to the successful litigation of civil and criminal matters, both simple and complex.  For Susan, the research and writing component is not a task to be endured, but a vocation.
