Anderson O'Brien, LLP Celebrates 140 Years of Legal Service in Central Wisconsin

Anderson O'Brien, LLP, a full-service law firm based in downtown Stevens Point, Wisconsin, is celebrating an extraordinary milestone: 140 years of continuous legal practice in central Wisconsin. Founded in 1886 by brothers Byron B. Park and Gilbert L. Park, the firm has served individuals, families, and businesses across Portage County and surrounding communities through periods of significant growth and change. This achievement places Anderson O'Brien among the oldest continuously operating law firms in Wisconsin, a testament to its enduring commitment to the region. The firm's longevity is rooted in a collaborative model established by the Park brothers, who broke from the solitary practice common at the time by building a team-based approach. Over the decades, Anderson O'Brien has mentored younger attorneys, hiring law students as clerks before they entered practice, ensuring a legacy of skilled legal professionals.

Today, the firm has grown from a two-attorney office into a team of 15 attorneys who concentrate in distinct areas of law, including personal injury, litigation, business and corporate law, estate planning, elder law, family law, employment law, real estate, tax planning, and workers' compensation. Anderson O'Brien has maintained its presence in downtown Stevens Point throughout its history, with its current office at 1257 Main Street situated near the original location at 933A Main Street. The firm serves clients in Portage, Adams, Waupaca, Waushara, and Wood counties, building long-term relationships that often span multiple generations. This continuity reflects the firm's role as a community institution, deeply integrated into the fabric of central Wisconsin.

The firm's reputation for excellence is underscored by AV Preeminent peer-review recognition through Martindale-Hubbell and individual attorney accolades from Super Lawyers. Anderson O'Brien's attorneys actively participate in local organizations, nonprofits, and civic activities throughout central Wisconsin. As it enters its 141st year, the firm remains focused on serving the next generation of clients, families, and businesses while adapting to evolving legal challenges.
