Toward the end of her life, my grandma had to spend time in a nursing home. She had dementia and would forget to take her medication, which only made things worse. Unfortunately, because of her memory issues, she would misplace things. It was understandably easier for her to blame the staff for stealing her stuff […]
Early on in my practice, I did a lot of residential real estate. I helped clients complete offers to purchase, and it was common for the interest rate on their loan to be in the double digits. Then, during the Great Recession, interest rates plummeted and a lot of the clients I helped rushed in […]
On March 2, 2025, the Treasury Department announced that, for the time being, it will not be enforcing the March 21, 2025, deadline for Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reporting for domestic companies and U.S. citizens, nor will it impose any penalties or fines related to failure to report. The Treasury has also announced that it’s […]
When I was in college, my buddies and I played a ton of ‘Madden’ football on our Sega Genesis while downing Mountain Dew and family-sized bags of Cool Ranch Doritos.

Our beloved Packers have won three straight championships twice – from 1929-1931 and from 1965-1967, but only the last two victories were in the Super Bowl era. Winning three consecutive championships is pretty […]

In honor of our legacy and commitment to our community, we’re proud to contribute to the new Appleton Public Library, which marks its grand opening […]
