Madison, WI (Civic Media) – Governor Tony Evers has appointed John Remington, a partner at the law firm Quarles & Brady LLP, to the Milwaukee County Circuit Court – Branch 6.

Beyond his professional work, Remington has worked in providing pro bono services, including participation in the Quarles & Brady LLP truancy court project in Outagamie County, representing incarcerated individuals in section 1983 claims, and managing termination of parental rights cases in Milwaukee County.

Upon his appointment, Remington expressed his gratitude and honor to succeed Judge Brostrom, stating, “I am grateful to Gov. Evers for his confidence in me. Milwaukee has been a wonderful place to live and raise a family—I am eager to serve our community in this new way by applying the law fairly and diligently and by treating everyone who appears in my courtroom with respect.”
