Lynn Novotnak

I have been in practice since 1981, representing individuals in civil and personal rights issues. I began my practice with eleven years in legal services programs in Wisconsin and New Jersey, and since 1992 have been in private practice, with a focus on plaintiffs' employment law (i.e. employee representation). I have also litigated special education cases on behalf of disabled children and their parents.
