Stegall is a shareholder at LawtonCates who was admitted to the Wisconsin Bar in 2006 after graduating cum laude from Marquette University Law School. David began his legal career by working as an Assistant District Attorney in Milwaukee County. In his role as a prosecutor, David litigated hundreds of cases and served as the lead prosecutor in well over 40 jury trials ranging from misdemeanors through the most serious felony cases. David Stegall is a trial attorney who represents Wisconsin families when commercial trucks kill or catastrophically injure someone they love. He is the attorney other attorneys call when the case matters most. Wisconsin’s interstate system — I-90, I-94, I-39 — moves some of the heaviest commercial freight in the Midwest. When an 80,000-pound carrier collides with a passenger vehicle, the results are catastrophic and the legal fight is technically complex. David focuses specifically on these cases: commercial trucking wrongful death, catastrophic traumatic brain injury, and serious occupational injury. He knows the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regulations that govern carriers, how to obtain and use electronic logging device data, and how to build the kind of evidence framework that drives full accountability — not just a check. David is a U.S. Army veteran who served as a Cavalry Officer before attending Marquette University Law School, where he graduated cum laude. He began his legal career as an Assistant District Attorney in Milwaukee County, where he served as lead prosecutor in more than 40 jury trials. That trial experience — knowing how to build a case, read a room, and fight when it counts — is what David’s clients call on when the stakes are highest.
