    About Mark Frankel

    Frankel would serve as Wisconsin's most creative judge for the following 20 years on the bench. His strong reputation was built on numerous ground-breaking courtroom innovations and case-settling strategies. For example, judicial mediation was not well-known or widely used at the time in Wisconsin, and Mark was renowned for giving litigants the chance to settle more minor disagreements without the necessity of the expense of formal court litigation. This allowed people to resolve their differences informally without having their affairs made public to protect their financial and mental health.

     

    Mark Frankel, in particular, was in charge of creating sentencing guidelines for DUI cases throughout the state of Wisconsin after a thorough review of the laws revealed that it would be unfair and unjust to sentence everyone the same way because some drunk driving offenses were more severe than others.

     

    Mark was asked to join the faculty of the Wisconsin Judicial College because of his reputation for creativity both within and outside the courtroom. There, he would later instruct judges from all around the state of Wisconsin in the various codes of court procedure and conduct. His original philosophy included teaching people how to recognize subliminal cues and other subtle nuances that can expose an otherwise apparent true remark and teaching them the law. He concentrated his efforts on advocating for mediation and arbitration because he thought they were (and still are) underutilized strategies that, in circumstances where it may not be necessary, are just as successful as a complete court procedure.

     

    In honor of his continuous assistance and guidance to the judicial and legal communities, Mark Frankel was appointed Assistant Dean of the Wisconsin Judicial College. Later, Frankel would contribute to the Wisconsin Benchbook, the premier resource for judges in the state of Wisconsin.

    Of course, his original works, publications, and tireless work were beyond the state's boundaries. So he was invited to join the National Judicial College faculty in Reno, Nevada, where he would teach judges from across the nation about advanced evidence. He would impart the methods that would provide them with a distinctive perspective on the interpretation and admission of evidence, which is one of the most crucial tasks of judges in a courtroom.

     

    Mark was made vice president and general counsel of Madison Gas & Electric after 20 years of service. However, he decided to continue concentrating on litigation, mediation, and arbitration; thus, in 2001, he joined Godfrey and Kahn S.C. as a partner and established a prosperous business specializing in ADR services. In addition, he expanded his corporate law practice area here.

     

    He currently serves as the Lead Attorney of his solo office, Frankel ADR, LLC, after reviewing his experience in small firm deals, large/corporate lawsuits, and his 20 years of effective judicial service in 2007. His areas of expertise in numerous civil and family issues areas include arbitration, mediation, and alternative dispute resolution techniques.

     

    Additionally, Mark Frankel still writes numerous legal articles, improving some ill-defined portions of the Wisconsin alternative dispute resolution procedure.
