Stop hoping for a better past and let’s get busy plotting our course for the future!

Ardell Skow, a Personal Injury Lawyer, graduated from The University of Wisconsin Law School in 1966. Prior to and during law school, Dell studied at The University of Wisconsin – Madison School of Commerce (now known as the Business School) and obtained degrees in Statistics and Accounting.

Dell has been practicing in the field of law in Wisconsin and Minnesota since 1966. After working for American Family Insurance Company during law school, Dell began his career representing insurance companies in personal injury cases. After four years, he switched teams and began representing injured people against insurance companies and has been doing so ever since. On January 1, 1977, Dell merged his practice with Jim Drill, Tom Bell, Gary Bakke, George Norman, and others, creating the firm now known as Doar, Drill & Skow. As a skilled Personal Injury Lawyer, Dell has successfully closed well over 1,000 plaintiff personal injury cases and tried more than 120 personal injury cases to verdict on behalf of the injured party.

He lives in Luck, Wisconsin with his wife, Carol. In his free time, Dell enjoys working on various projects in his garage, spending time with his grandchildren, visiting the old farm he worked on during high school, and playing with his Daisy dog, Kraemer.

Reviews

I recommend Doar, Drill & Skow and Kate Bosworth to all
Former Client
I was a pedestrian in a hit and run car accident that caused me two months in a walker/wheelchair and rest home, and five months of home care. I shopped around for a lawyer – turned down by many, citing “it’s too small claim amount to fuss with, it’s my fault,” and other excuses. Kate Bosworth took on all the problems. It was a legal and financial mess, with no way out that I could see. When no one else could help me, Kate Bosworth achieved all goals with a policy limits settlement! I recommend Doar, Drill & Skow and Kate Bosworth to all, to everyone with a legal, insurance and financial dispute.

The attorneys and staff at Doar Drill are some of the most professional and caring people we have ever worked with. They treat their clients with respect and top-notch advocacy. 10/10
