Bakke Norman was founded in 1985 by Gary Bakke, George Norman and Tom Schumacher to provide comprehensive legal services to individuals, businesses and municipalities in Northwest Wisconsin, while developing and maintaining a reputation for the highest personal and professional standards in the region.
The three founders started small, with their first office located in the historic New Richmond Heritage Center. The firm soon expanded, moving across the street to a new office building in New Richmond while adding attorneys and offices in Baldwin and Menomonie. In January 2021, our fourth office opened in Eau Claire. Today, we continue to provide superior quality legal services from these four locations to clients throughout Northwest Wisconsin. We are dedicated to hiring the best lawyers and legal support personnel, being strong community partners, and employing people who truly care for our clients’ needs. It’s our people who make the difference.
