Kelhart, Joanne

Known for her compassion for her clients and a willingness to go the extra mile to ensure that their concerns are addressed, Erin joined GRGB as a law clerk after graduating cum laude from Marquette University with a degree in print journalism. She accepted a position as an associate attorney after receiving her law degree from Marquette University Law School in May 2006.

Erin is recognized throughout the legal community as one of the State of Wisconsin’s up-and-coming attorneys. As a result of her efforts, she received the prestigious Super Lawyers Rising Star award in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012. This prominent designation is a distinction bestowed on only 2.5 percent of lawyers under the age of 40 in the State of Wisconsin.

As a Milwaukee native, Erin is dedicated to providing legal services to her hometown community. She has a well-rounded litigation practice, representing clients in civil, personal injury, insurance, employment and probate disputes. Erin focuses a portion of her practice on authoring trial and appellate briefs in all areas of the firm's practice.

When she is not providing solutions for clients, Erin cheers on the Bears, Cubs and Fighting Illini and serves as vice president of the alumnae association of her alma mater, Divine Savior Holy Angels High School. She lives just north of Milwaukee with her husband and fellow GRGB attorney, Chris, and their black lab, Wrigley.
