The law firm of Pitman, Kyle & Sicula, S.C. is proud and excited to announce the hiring of attorneys Gail L. Brown and Terese M. Halfmann. Attorneys Brown and Halfmann are both nurse attorneys – licensed Wisconsin attorneys and registered nurses – and will be on the firm’s Nursing Home Negligence Litigation Team.

As members of the state’s largest nursing home practice, Brown and Halfmann will advocate for nursing home residents and their families using a skill set perfectly suited to holding nursing home accountable. Utilizing their extensive nursing experience, including detailed knowledge of medicine and the standards of care, they will investigate instances of neglect and abuse, review records, work with doctors and nurses and aggressively pursue the growing number of nursing home injuries and deaths in Wisconsin.  

“Gail and Terese possess a unique combination of nursing and legal experience,” said Jeffrey Pitman, the lead attorney of the firm’s nursing home team. “They are a fantastic resource for our clients and their families.”

Prior to pursuing legal careers, both women were registered nurses at Milwaukee area hospitals, serving in critical and intensive care units, and taught at Milwaukee area nursing schools.

For the last decade, Pitman, Kyle & Sicula has fought tirelessly to hold nursing homes accountable, improve the quality of care and to prevent neglect and abuse.
