Samuel Leib and William Katt Are Proud to Be Recognized as Wisconsin Super Lawyers by Milwaukee Magazine and Wisconsin Super Lawyers.
Since 1998, Leib & Katt has exemplified versatility as a top-shelf, full service litigation practice. As an intelligent, thorough firm dedicated to the individual needs of its clientele, Leib & Katt's hands-on experience in myriad trial situations has enabled it to amass true expertise. Staff lawyers have collectively tried over 250 major civil jury cases to verdict, and with this extensive knowledge at hand, the attorneys of Leib & Katt know that litigation is not always the right approach. As such, they're also adept at determining the issues confronting the client, and strive to tailor their courses of action to the subtleties of each case. Says shareholder Bill Katt, "While Sam Leib and I are honored to be recognized as Super Lawyers, this accolade is really a recognition of the depth of services provided by the firm. We have great lawyers and staff supporting us which has allowed us to enjoy wonderful success."
Leib & Katt is proud of its arsenal of skills, and applies decisiveness, practicality, and diligence to all areas of litigation. Its fields of expertise extend to health care, insurance coverage, aviation, business consultation, toxic torts, governmental litigation, product liability, retail liability, employment matters, and general litigation of complex matters.
The firm has grown significantly since its original inception - from its two founding shareholders to ten full time attorneys who specialize in defense litigation. The firm has lawyers licensed in five states. While Leib & Katt still maintains a strong regional presence, it has also expanded to represent clients on a national scale. Bill Katt's client list includes Bic Corporation, Walgreen Co., Albertson's, Giant Bicycles, Quad Tech and Bank One/Chase. He has handled high profile cases throughout the Midwest. He was recently retained to defend Delta Airlines in a major class action suit in Salt Lake City, Utah. His experience in handling complex legal matters and his ability to quickly identify issues and implement corresponding strategies makes him the perfect choice for the Delta matter. Sam Leib has been involved with litigation nationwide, having handled cases from California to Connecticut. Most recently he tried a cancer case in Chicago. He is admitted to the bar in Wisconsin, California and has an adjunct faculty position with Marquette University Law School. He is well known for his representation of doctors, hospitals, clinics and other health care providers. As Leib & Katt has expanded from practicing locally to statewide to regionally to nationally, these complementary skill sets have helped to make it a formidable litigation practice, both within Wisconsin and across the country.
