In 1974, Hector de la Mora left a position as a First Assistant District Attorney for Milwaukee County and entered into private practice in downtown Milwaukee.  Thereafter, he moved his offices to Elm Grove.  In 1984, his wife, Linda, joined the practice and the law firm of de la Mora & de la Mora was founded.

For many years the firm has had a strong reputation in the municipal law field because it serves as the municipal attorney for the Villages of Elm Grove, Butler, Lannon, Hartland and Lac La Belle, Wisconsin. This expertise has been extended by the firm into the field of condominium association representation where there are many overlapping legal similarities. 

The firm also has served as outside special counsel to a variety of entities when condominium associations, police departments, school districts, municipalities and small business concerns have had the need to retain the services of an outside law firm to undertake a single project engagement involving a sensitive legal matter which cannot be handled using the normal arrangements in place.

Complementing the growth of the firm’s practice with organizations of various types, de la Mora & de la Mora has greatly expanded the services it provides to individuals as our Areas of Practice indicates.  

Over the years, the firm has grown to four attorneys and includes a second office in Delafield that was established to serve western Waukesha County clients.  Although the firm has grown, the lawyers at de la Mora & de la Mora continue to emphasize the qualities on which the firm was founded:  concern for the client, integrity, knowledge and skill.
