About Kelsi L.
Kelsi L. Cottle earned her Juris Doctor from Florida Coastal School of Law in 2008 after beginning legal studies in 2005. She completed her law degree at a time when many new attorneys were navigating a tight job market. The record shows she took the academic route straight through and entered practice immediately after graduation.
Her early career quickly moved into firm leadership. In 2008 she is listed as the managing partner of Cottle | Pasquale | Laborde. That title suggests she took on administrative and client-facing responsibilities right away. Over the years she has remained associated with the same firm name, indicating long-term involvement in its operations and casework.
Cottle has been active in professional and community groups. She joined the American Immigration Lawyers Association in 2008 and has maintained membership since then. She became a member of the Wisconsin Hispanic Bar Association in 2014 and has served on the Hispanic/Latino Task Force Meeting since 2013. Her community roles include board membership with Partners for Community Development, Inc., where she is currently listed as a board member. Earlier, she served as secretary on the Board of Directors for Two Left Paws Animal Sanctuary from 2010 to 2014. These affiliations point to engagement beyond the courtroom and a sustained presence in both legal and local nonprofit spheres.
Her jurisdictional practice is in Wisconsin. Membership in the American Immigration Lawyers Association indicates immigration law figures in her work, and involvement in Hispanic bar activities suggests familiarity with issues affecting Latino communities. She handles matters that bring clients into state and federal immigration processes and represents individuals and families through complex procedural steps. Her practice blends client advocacy and administrative oversight from case intake through resolution.
Today she practices at Cottle | Pasquale | Laborde s.c., where she continues to handle immigration matters and related legal work. Her current practice focuses on representing clients in immigration-related cases and providing counsel on issues that arise in those matters.
