Borgelt, Powell, Peterson & Frauen S.C. traces its origins to 1881 when Joseph V. Quarles and John B. Winslow formed the firm of Winslow and Quarles with offices in Kenosha and Racine, Wisconsin.  Winslow later became Chief Justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court.  Joseph V. Quarles remained with the firm and was soon joined by his brother, Charles Quarles and later by Thomas W. Spence.  The firm of Quarles and Spence flourished throughout the late 1800's.  In 1893 the firm became known as Quarles, Spence and Quarles, the name which the firm held until 1957.  Another name change occurred and in 1970 the firm took its current name of Borgelt, Powell, Peterson & Frauen S.C.


Today, Borgelt, Powell, Peterson & Frauen S.C. has more than 25 attorneys.  While maintaining the firm's core practice representing the insurance industry, the firm also counsels clients on many litigation, employment and business related matters.  While much has changed since the firm's founding in 1881, Borgelt, Powell, Peterson & Frauen S.C. remains committed to the highest principles of legal scholarship, courtroom performance and client counseling today, just as from 1881 through the present.
