Daniel Norland

I received my Bachelor's Degree from the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse in December 2006. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin – Madison Law School in 2010 and chose to move back to the Coulee Region to begin my legal career. I decided to open my own law practice and have never regretted it.

Over the years I have developed a specific focus in two major areas of practice – Family Law and Criminal Law. Specializing in these areas puts me in the courtroom a lot, which is a place I feel very comfortable. I enjoy litigating, and that enjoyment translates into vigorous representation of my clients, often achieving very good results under even the most difficult circumstances.

I have served as Secretary, President-Elect, and President of the La Crosse County Bar. I have been honored as an award recipient from the Wisconsin Law Journal. I have given presentations at the Statewide Solo and Small Firm Conference as well as to our local bar association. Presently I am running for Coulee Region Joint Municipal Judge. My experience in a courtroom over the last 14 years means there is not much I have not seen.

On a personal note, I enjoy spending time with my family. I am also an avid fan of all Wisconsin sports teams, although my heart lies with my alma mater Wisconsin Badgers.
