Reg P. Wydeven is a partner at McCarty Law LLP in Appleton. As he had always hoped, Reg was lucky enough to follow in his father’s footsteps by practicing law at the firm and advising individuals on estate planning, estate settlement, and elder law matters. His dad, Dennis, retired from McCarty Law in 2004 and the two worked closely in these areas until that time. Reg assists clients and is a frequent speaker on matters such as estate planning, special needs planning, long-term care planning, and asset protection. He has been honored as a “Rising Star” for his work in elder law and has also received the “Future 15 Young Professional Award.” Reg also writes a weekly FYI column for The Post Crescent, which provides legal commentary on a wide array of topics including estate planning, product liability, investments, and unconventional legal news. Reg was raised in Kimberly and lives in the childhood home of his wife, Mary, two doors down from where he grew up. They have two children, Ebben and Matthew. Little-known fact: Reg graduated from law school with the 14th Dalai Lama in 1998 when the University of Wisconsin Law School awarded him an honorary degree.
