A Message From Attorney Michael F. Hupy:
When a law firm is founded or what it traces its roots to is not always an easy determination to make.
I was in high school in the mid 60's when this law firm was founded. For some time, I was under the impression that this firm was founded in 1969. When I joined this law firm in 1989, it was already well established. Later someone asked me how I could be sure that this law firm started in 1969 when I hadn't graduated from law school until 1972.
I took this question as a challenge and did some research. As it turned out, I had understated the firm's age by at least five years.
Over the years the firm has had several different partners and has been known by several different names. As I traced the roots and origin of this firm I was helped by several people and numerous documents I found in the firm's business records.
When I joined the law firm in 1989, one of the founders was still at this firm and, when he left in 1997, I bought that original owner's share in the firm and became sole shareholder. Attorney Jason F. Abraham became a shareholder in 1999 and the name of the firm became Hupy and Abraham, S.C. on January 1, 2006. In September 2007, I named Attorney Chad A. Kreblin as another shareholder at the firm.
There are eight law firms in Milwaukee employing hundreds of lawyers, which trace their origins back more than one hundred years. When one law firm's claim of a one hundred fifty year history didn't add up in my opinion, I questioned it and the firm retreated from its one hundred and fifty year old claim and reduced its claimed age to one hundred fifteen years.
