Michael Edwards

Michael Edwards is a Partner at Galanis, Pollack, Jacobs & Johnson, S.C. in Milwaukee whose practice focuses on family law. He represents clients in divorce matters, including contested, uncontested, same-sex, and high-net-worth divorces, as well as property division, maintenance, parenting time, custody, and child support. His work also includes annulment, legal separation, paternity actions, post-judgment enforcement and modification issues, relocation disputes, and restraining orders or injunctions.

Mike earned his J.D. with Pro Bono Honors from Marquette University Law School in 2017 after receiving a B.A. with High Honors from Drake University in 2014. His legal education supports a practice that requires close analysis of financial information, parenting arrangements, court orders, and settlement terms. Pro bono recognition during law school reflects early client-service experience, while his undergraduate and legal academic record provide a foundation for negotiation, courtroom preparation, and written advocacy.

Mike has practiced in Wisconsin since 2017 and uses negotiation, mediation, and courtroom advocacy to address family disputes. His work covers the full progression of divorce and related cases, from settlement agreements and support questions to contested custody, enforcement, contempt, modification, and relocation matters after judgment. He has participated in the Divorce Cooperation Institute and works within professional groups focused on family law, supporting continued engagement with developments affecting Wisconsin domestic relations practice.

Michael Edwards is a member of the State Bar of Wisconsin, Milwaukee Young Lawyers Association, Milwaukee Bar Association, and the Leander J. Foley, Jr. Society of Family Lawyers. His practice combines client communication, negotiation, mediation strategy, and litigation preparation across a broad range of family law disputes.
