Rock Pledl

Attorney Rock Pledl has split his career between private practice and public interest law. He was an Assistant Public Defender assigned to the Milwaukee County Behavioral Health Center. He litigated several of the first guardianship and protective placement cases to reach the Wisconsin Supreme Court. At the Legal Aid Society of Milwaukee, he was on a team of lawyers that worked with Milwaukee County to downsize its long-term facilities and transition to a community-based treatment system. At the agency now known as Disability Rights Wisconsin, Rock handled multiple cases involving deaths in care facilities, and a class action that addressed substandard service in the County's para-transit system.
