Welcome to the Sulton Law Offices website. The firm's lead attorney is Anne T. Sulton.

This law firm primarily litigates civil rights cases in federal courts. We also litigate cases on behalf of crime victims to help them obtain financial compensation for their losses. Each year, at least 10% of our time is spent providing pro bono (free) legal services to nonprofit organizations and to the elderly.

Attorney Sulton is licensed to practice law before all state trial and appellate courts in Wisconsin and Colorado, federal trial courts in Wisconsin and Colorado, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit [located in Chicago], and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit [located in Denver].

This firm litigates cases across America. Attorney Sulton associates with experienced local attorneys to comply with all applicable court rules and to ensure the delivery of personalized client services.

We select only a few new cases each year. In this way, the full resources of Sulton Law Offices can be devoted to providing high quality personalized client services.

We frequently accept "unpopular" causes and/or "controversial" cases. We believe the principles articulated in the United States Constitution, and our state and federal statutes, must guide relations between and among persons residing in this great nation. Often, it is the zealous representation of litigants presenting "unpopular" causes or "controversial" cases that ensures the benefits and protections of our laws are enjoyed by all residents, particularly those in greatest need of these legal guarantees.

For her work as a civil rights attorney, attorney Sulton received the coveted "William Robert Ming Advocacy Award" from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) at its July 2007 National Convention in Detroit.
