ABOUT  ATTORNEY CLAYTON GRIESSMEYER

I am a criminal defense and bicycle injury lawyer who grew up in Sheboygan, WI. One of the reasons I represent injured bicyclists is because of my love for sports and competition. I have been competing in running, swimming, bicycling, and triathlon races since the age of 8 and still race often.  I have always favored underdogs and therefore enjoy representing criminal defendants against the government and injured cyclists against insurance corporations. 

clayton griessmeyerI truly care about helping people and understand the importance of hard work. I have volunteered for various non profit organizations including a battered women's shelter, homeless shelter, the Boys and Girls Club, Bike Fed of Wisconsin, and various other athletic clubs and organizations.  I am involved in the Dane County Community, have volunteered as a mock trial judge for high school students, and coach master's swimming at Pinnacle Health Club.

Before attending law school, I was an elementary school teacher for four years. I began my teaching career at the Milwaukee Academy of Science. After three years teaching fifth grade and obtaining tenure at Cumberland Elementary School in Whitefish Bay WI, I moved to San Diego to attend law school at Thomas Jefferson School of Law.

While at Thomas Jefferson, on an academic scholarship, I was nominated to Who's Who Among Students in American Universities, and won first place in the Roger Traynor Moot Court Competition at UC Berkeley (after arguing before a former California Supreme Court Justice). I earned the high grade award for Electronic/ Internet Commerce. I graduated Cum Laude in only two and a half years and passed the California and Wisconsin bars upon graduation from law school.

I am admitted to practice law in all of the State Courts in Wisconsin, California, the Federal Court for the Southern District of California and Western District Federal Court in Madison.

I am well known in the Wisconsin cycling community, have lectured to local bicyclists and triathletes, sponsor races and rides, and advocate for bicycling and bicyclists by attending local bicycle advocacy meetings and events.  As a commuter, recreational rider and bike racer, I am very familiar with Wisconsin bike laws, and have experience in various courts throughout Wisconsin and California,

I currently sponsor the Verona Triterium Triathlon, the Monona 20K in Madison, Wisconsin, Madison Mud Run, as well as the Aquathlon series in Madison, Wisconsin.  I am an active member of the Bicycle Federation of Wisconsin and advocate for bicyclists and bicycling throughout the state of Wisconsin. 

I trained under and continue to consult with Bicycle Injury Lawyer Richard L. Duquette, Esq.  in Carlsbad, CA.  Richard Duquette has handled bicycle injury cases in Southern California since 1983 and studied under Gerry Spence, Esq. often referred to as "The Best Trial Lawyer in America." I have participated in the representation of bicyclists from all walks of life. From those who don't own a car and literally ride thousands of miles per year, to commuters, triathletes, bike racers, and those just out for a ride.
