MICHAEL F. HUPY RECEIVES TOP RATING 16 YEARS RUNNING

Attorney Michael F. Hupy has taken a leading role in having our law firm give back to the community. We have supported worthwhile causes including America's Second Harvest of Wisconsin, the YMCA, the Boy Scouts, scholarship programs, safety programs for bikers including the Hupy & Abraham Watch For Motorcycles Awareness Program, child safety fingerprint programs, and have donated many hours and hundreds-of-thousands of dollars to various worthwhile causes.

In December 2008, Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle presented Attorney Hupy with a Certificate of Commendation for many years of leadership in making "The community a better place to live."  The Governor previously publically thanked Hupy for his help in reversing a unanimous Wisconsin Supreme Court decision that could have reduced damages for injured motorcyclists.  Hupy did so by testifying in both Houses of the Wisconsin Legislature and lobbying the Legislature to reverse the Supreme Court's ruling. 

In 2009, the State of Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs presented Attorney Hupy with a Commendation for making a $5,000 donation to the Veteran's Assistance Program in recognition of Dave Zien's million-mile ride.  Hupy was on the back of Zien's bike when he reached the million-mile mark on April 4, 2009.

In 2010, Rescue Riders and Accident Scene Management honored Attorney Hupy for his "Significant contribution to the motorcycle community... and dedication to reducing injuries and fatalities."  Previously a local organization gave Hupy the Lawyer of the Year Award for his outstanding community service and efforts to help the less fortunate.
