About Morgan K.
Morgan K. Stippel trained in Wisconsin. She earned a B.S. in Political Science and Professional Writing from the University of Wisconsin–River Falls in 2015. She stayed in state for law school and received her J.D. from the University of Wisconsin Law School in 2018. Those years set the stage for a practice shaped by courtroom exposure and hands-on advocacy.
Her earliest roles were practical and community oriented. While an undergraduate she interned at the Greater Stillwater Chamber of Commerce and then spent time in Washington as an intern for the U.S. House of Representatives. After returning to Wisconsin she worked as a community advocate and legal advocate for Tubman. Those front-line positions put her in direct contact with clients and local service systems.
Law school brought courtroom training and clinic work. As a clinical law student in the Economic Justice Institute’s Family Court Clinic she worked on family court matters and related procedural issues. She also served as a judicial intern to the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin, observing federal case management and opinion drafting. During the summers she gained private firm exposure as a summer associate at Axley Brynelson, LLP.
Upon graduation Stippel joined Axley Brynelson as an associate in 2018. Her time there followed her earlier clerkship and clinic experiences. She handles client counseling, legal research and drafting, and participates in litigation preparation. Colleagues describe her as steady in motion: she moves through filings and client meetings without theatrics and pays attention to procedural detail. Her background in professional writing appears in memoranda and briefs that aim for clarity.
That combination of community advocacy, clinic service, federal intern experience and firm practice produces a lawyer comfortable in both client-facing roles and behind-the-scenes work. She has worked on family court clinic matters and on cases that require careful fact development and procedural know-how. She currently practices as an associate at Axley Brynelson, LLP, drawing on her prior family court clinic and advocacy experience in her day-to-day work.
