As a young lawyer on her first day at a small firm in Merrill, Christine Bremer Muggli discovered that she was a little afraid of going through the front door.
It was 1982, when very few women practiced law in northern Wisconsin – but that wasn’t the issue.
“It was the ducks,” she said.
Bremer Muggli was a “Chicago girl.” In the early years of her legal career, she worked in a 150-person law firm in Chicago with a view of Lake Michigan (and no ducks in sight). “Then I married a guy from Wausau, and we decided to move up north,” she said.
Her new position at “a tiny law firm” presented a challenge for her at the front door. “I didn’t know if the ducks would move for me or what they would do,” she said.
In Merrill, she started a personal injury practice with only a desk and a box of files. From there with a lot of effort and hard work, her practice grew, and she purchased it in 1989. Her practice – with her first husband – grew until they divorced in 2003, when she again started over, now with her own solo firm. “At age 50, I started over. That was tricky and hard work.”
But she was never alone.
