Attorney Patricia Stone was born and raised in the Milwaukee area. She attended the University of Minnesota for her undergraduate degree, receiving a Bachelor’s degree in political science and history in the University’s Honors Program. During her time at Minnesota, Attorney Stone was a sprinter on the University of Minnesota Gophers women’s track and field team, earning Academic All-Big Ten honors.
Thereafter, Attorney Stone pursued and received a Master’s degree in Urban History from the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee. She focused her studies on the government’s role in the creation of discriminatory housing policies in the second half of the 20thcentury. Upon receiving her Master’s degree, Attorney Stone worked as a lobbyist for the housing industry, arguing to governmental officials on the importance of ensuring the availability of low cost housing.
While working as a lobbyist, Attorney Stone pursued her law degree from Marquette University and was named to the Dean’s List multiple times. Upon graduation, Attorney Stone accepted a position as a litigator. For the duration of Attorney Stone’s legal career until joining Gruber Law Offices, she represented insureds and insurance companies in defense of very significant claims, handling complex litigation matters involving catastrophic injuries and jury demands in excess of $15 million.
After being promoted to partner at her old firm (a large international law firm with over 900 lawyers), however, Attorney Stone knew she was on the “wrong side” and had to make a change. Attorney Stone now works to champion the cause of those seriously injured through no fault of their own, and due to reckless or careless acts committed by others. Her earlier representation has, however, provided critical insight into the evaluation, adjustment, and resolution strategies utilized by individuals and, more precisely, insurance companies working to minimize exposure for the harm that they or their insureds caused. Attorney Stone uses this experience and knowledge to vigorously pursue damages on behalf of her clients.
Attorney Stone’s knowledge and skill in advocating for her clients has won her the praise of her peers, as she has been named a Wisconsin Super Lawyers – Rising Star for the past six years. Attorney Stone has succeeded in arguing cases to both the Wisconsin Court of Appeals and the Wisconsin Supreme Court, as well as the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Working to improve the lives of Wisconsin residents is important to Attorney Stone. She has volunteered in the Wills for Heroes program, through which she prepared wills for first responders. Additionally, she has worked as a Milwaukee County poll worker, helping to ensure that all residents are able to cast their vote in elections. Attorney Stone and her husband, Jason, have also dedicated their time to being foster parents, caring for children while their parents resolve issues with finances or housing.
When she’s not working, Patricia enjoys participating in or watching nearly any sport, including soccer, basketball, football, baseball, and, of course, track and field. She spends her time with her husband and her sons, Harrison and Josiah, both of whom are enthusiastic Milwaukee Bucks fans.
