Stella, Wisconsin PFAS Contamination: Your Legal Rights When “Forever Chemicals” Are in Your Well Water You opened the mail, or you picked up the phone, and a state toxicologist told you to stop drinking your own water — now. Not next week. Not after you finish the dishes. Now. The well your children grew up on, the water you cooked with, made coffee with, bathed in, tested at levels thousands of times above what the federal government says is safe. And nobody was required to tell you. Nobody was required to test. Because your well is private, and private wells are the blind spot in the American drinking water safety system. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We handle toxic tort cases. And we are writing this for one person: the homeowner in Stella, Wisconsin — or anywhere in rural Wisconsin, or anywhere in this country — who just learned that the water they trusted for years is loaded with PFAS, the compounds everyone now calls “forever chemicals.” You have questions pouring in faster than answers. Is my family going to be okay? Who did this? Can I make them pay for what they put in my water?…

Marinette PFAS Water Contamination: Tyco’s $10M Wisconsin Settlement and Your Individual Rights You just heard the news. The State of Wisconsin settled with Tyco Fire Products for $10 million over decades of PFAS contamination in your water. The governor called it historic. The attorney general called it accountability. And a former mayor of your town called it “underwhelming” — a drop in the bucket. If you live in Marinette, or Peshtigo, or anywhere along the groundwater plume spreading from the Fire Technology Center, you are reading that headline with a specific question running through your mind: Does this settlement cover me? Did I just lose my right to file a claim? Is it too late? The answer is the most important thing you will read today, and it is this: No. The $10 million settles the State of Wisconsin’s environmental claims. It does not compensate you for what was done to your body, your property, or your family. Your individual legal rights are separate, intact, and fully yours to exercise — but the evidence that proves your exposure is on a clock, and some of it is already disappearing. We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm. We handle toxic…

Peshtigo, Wisconsin PFAS Water Contamination Lawsuit: What “Forever Chemicals” Did to Your Family’s Water You are reading this at a kitchen table in Peshtigo, or maybe in a hospital waiting room in Green Bay, or maybe from a relative’s house two states away because you moved and never knew why you got sick until someone said the word PFAS out loud. You drank the water. You cooked with it. You made coffee with it every morning for years. And now there is a diagnosis — kidney cancer, testicular cancer, thyroid disease, ulcerative colitis — and a question sitting in your chest that will not leave: was it the water? We are Attorney911 — The Manginello Law Firm, PLLC. We are a trial firm that takes toxic tort cases in Wisconsin, and we are writing this page for one person: the Peshtigo resident, former resident, or family member who just learned that “forever chemicals” were in the water they drank, and who needs to know — right now, tonight — what that means for their health, their legal rights, and the clock that is already running on both. Here is the first thing you need to hear: this is not random.…

The Identification of Sterling Easley: Why a “Probable Accident” Is Still a Legal Case The news that the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s Office has finally identified 71-year-old Sterling Easley as the person found dead in the Yount Parking Lot fire is a heavy moment for the city. After three months of DNA analysis to confirm an identity made “beyond recognition” by severe burns, his family finally has an answer. But for those left behind, the police department’s statement that the death was a “probable accident” and “not suspicious” should be read with extreme caution. In the world of the insurance company and the corporate landowner, “accident” is a word used to end the conversation. To us, an accident is often the final result of a long chain of safety failures. When a man is found deceased in a cluster of burning portable toilets on the grounds of a major league stadium, the question we ask isn’t just whether a crime was committed. We ask why a 71-year-old was exposed to a fatal conflagration in a place that should have been secured, monitored, and safe. The Milwaukee personal injury lawyers at Attorney911 know that “not suspicious” only means there was no…

We Stand With You After What Happened in That Hotel Bathroom We know why you are reading this page. You went out one night in the Juneau Town neighborhood of downtown Milwaukee — Valentine’s Day 2026 — and you met a man at a bar. He talked his way into taking you to the Pfister Hotel, a place he had no business bringing a stranger he just met. Once you were inside a hotel bathroom, he turned on you. Your head hit a sink with enough force to scramble your memory of the rest of that night. The next thing you remember clearly is telling a friend the next morning what happened. Then, weeks later, he did the unthinkable again. He tracked you down at your workplace — the place where you earn your living, the place that should have been safe — and groped you in front of witnesses. When the police were called, he walked out before they arrived. According to the charging papers, his parting words to you were, “Thank you for not judging my kinks.” You are not imagining what was done to you. What happened to you is a textbook sequence: the grooming, the isolated…

Your Family Member Died After Hotel Workers Pinned Him to the Ground. Here Is What You Need to Know Right Now. If your loved one was restrained by hotel workers, security guards, bouncers, police, or anyone else and never walked away, you are reading this at 2 a.m. because someone just told you what happened, or because the funeral ended and the questions have started. You need straight answers about who pays, how long you have to act, and what evidence is already disappearing. That is what this page exists to give you. On June 30, 2024, D’Vontaye Mitchell died outside the Hyatt Regency Milwaukee after four hotel workers, including security guards, a front desk agent, and a bellman, physically restrained him outside the building. Security footage captured what happened. The Milwaukee County Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide caused by restraint asphyxia, with toxic effects of cocaine and methamphetamine listed as contributing factors. Four workers, Todd Alan Erickson, Devin W. Johnson-Carson, Herbert T. Williamson, and Brandon Ladaniel Turner, were each charged with felony murder. A Milwaukee County Court Commissioner found probable cause on August 25, 2025, and bound all four over for trial. The family later reached a…

When a Hotel Holds Your Loved One Down Until He Stops Breathing: A Family’s First Hours and the Law That Protects Them You are reading this at a kitchen table, or a bedside, or in a parked car where you finally have ten quiet minutes. Your brother, your uncle, your son, your husband, your cousin — D’Vontaye Mitchell, 43 years old, the kind of man whose family called him by a name that meant something to them — died on June 30, 2024, in the driveway of the Hyatt Regency in downtown Milwaukee, pinned face-down on asphalt by people who worked for a hotel, while he apologized and gasped for air. He was not a criminal. He was a man in crisis. The medical examiner ruled it homicide. Four men have been charged with felony murder. You have read the news. You have read it again. You have searched the headlines for a name and a story that would make sense, and the story does not make sense, because the story is that a hotel held a man down for eight or nine minutes until he died and the only legal word for that in Wisconsin is wrongful death. We…
