My name is Theresa Squillacote. I am a currently unlicensed attorney.  I spent 18 years inside federal prison on espionage-related charges, arising from an undercover agent pretending to be from Nelson Mandela's new government and prior contact with the former East Germany.  I regret my past conduct but believe with the passage of time and significant rehabilitation efforts I am able to offer reliable, comprehensive professional services.

I was born in Chicago in 1957.  We moved up to Milwaukee in 1964 because of my father's career with the National Labor Relations Board.  I grew up in Milwaukee, and attended college in the University of Wisconsin system.

My background is one of social activism.  My parents were very active in social justice and civil rights activities. My father formed a group in Chicago called "Home Opportunities Made Equal," or HOME, which worked to obtain mortgages for black families to enable them to move into red-lined, white neighborhoods.

I now have a research and consulting business (not providing legal representation or any direct legal services). This is my platform to advocate for others who experience injustice.
