Everson, Whitney, Everson & Brehm, S.C.

The roots of Everson, Whitney, Everson & Brehm can be traced back to 1916, making it Green Bay?s oldest law firm.John A. Kittel, a former teacher and Brown County Superintendent of Schools, graduated from the University of Wisconsin Law School and returned to Green Bay to begin his practice. He drafted the original Articles of Incorporation for the Green Bay Packers (or, rather, Green Bay Football Corporation). John A. Kittel initially formed a partnership with Timothy Burke in 1916. E. L. (Bert) Everson joined the firm in 1923, and shortly thereafter John C. Whitney followed suit.



During World War II, the younger associates temporarily left the firm to serve their country.Fortunately, Jane O?Melia had just graduated from the University of Wisconsin Law School and began her historic career at the firm.She remained with the firm for 30 years, practicing at a time when women attorneys were rare. At one point in her legal career, she was the only practicing female attorney in the 14th judicial circuit (composed of Brown, Door and Kewaunee counties).Attorney O?Melia is also known for being the first woman to be elevated to partner at a law firm in Brown County.



James L. Everson, Bert Everson?s son, joined the firm in 1952. Nine years later, in 1961, Phillip R. Brehm joined the firm?s ranks. The founding attorneys of The Everson Law Firm were recognized by the public for their community involvement and dedication to providing their clients with the best legal services possible.



Since the firm?s inception over 100 years ago, the attorneys who make up The Everson Law Firm continue to be known for their community leadership, service, and commitment to legal profession.
