Thorpe & Christian Welcomes Darryl J. Lee

Thorpe & Christian, S.C. is proud to announce the addition of Darryl J. Lee as an Associate Attorney in April, 2010. Attorney Lee, a 1986 graduate of University of Wisconsin Law School, focuses on personal injury, product liability and civil litigation and brings over 23 years of trial experience to our firm.

Prior to joining Thorpe & Christian, Attorney Lee practiced in Southeastern Wisconsin and Southern California where he successfully completed numerous bench and jury trials to verdict.

He has represented individuals and businesses in a variety of legal matters including personal injury claims, automobile and motorcycle accidents, premises liability cases, product defect cases, real estate litigation, contract disputes, and collection matters.

Significantly, Attorney Lee played a major role in the nationally renowned case of Daubert v. Merrill-Dow Pharmaceuticals regarding the admissibility of scientific expert testimony at trial. He has also given lectures to lawyer groups on topics such as “Advanced Trial Techniques” and “Damages in Wisconsin Civil Trial Practice”.

To arrange a meeting with Attorney Lee, please contact our offices at (262)740-1971.

New Logo and Website Launched

Thorpe & Christian recently completed a business makeover by launching a new logo, marketing materials and website. This ongoing project has been coordinated by a team of attorneys and staff and will better represent the practice.

As one of the fastest growing law firms in Southeastern Wisconsin, Thorpe & Christian knew their original logo, website and stationery no longer represented the firm they had become. “We needed a change in our corporate image,” says Dale Thorpe, a principal shareholder in the practice, “we wanted a look that showed we have grown from a small town practice to a regional firm capable of handling virtually any client need.” Thorpe & Christian’s growth into a formidable law practice required a corporate look to keep pace.

“Our identity on business materials is a crucial element to how we are perceived as a practice,” explains Scott Christian, another of the principal shareholders, “to that end, we developed a brand that speaks not only to our dedication to clients, but also to our professionalism.” Key elements to the rebranding include a new logo, business stationery, periodical newsletter, marketing materials and online presence.

To develop the new brand, Thorpe & Christian worked in partnership with Signalfire Productions, a Delavan-based ad agency. The challenge was developing an identity that stood above competing practices in Milwaukee, Madison and Chicago. Many local or regional law firms will have a solid presence either in print or on the web, but rarely both. Thorpe & Christian comes to the table with a cross-medium brand that is right in step with their capabilities and mission – and will be for years to come.
