The Person I'm Interviewing

This Friday I'll be performing my video interview. Below is the name and background of the lawyer I'll be interviewing, as provided by the Kids Matter website. For the heck of it, I also included some photos from my initial trip to the Kids Matter office.

Anita Cruise JD

Attorney Cruise is employed by Kids Matter Inc. where she serves as legal director for a multidisciplinary team that provides services for families who are caring for children that have been the victims of abuse, neglect or some other crime. Anita recruits and trains volunteer attorneys to provide representation to these families. She provides resource, referral and technical information to staff and clients.

Prior to joining Kids Matter, Anita was a staff attorney for Legal Action of Wisconsin, Inc. where she provided representation in children and family law matters to child victims and their families through the Racine County Children’s Advocacy Program, a collaborative effort between Legal Action, the local women’s domestic violence shelter and a local mental healthcare provider. Anita served as guardian-ad-litem for Racine County.

Anita received her B.S. from Northwestern University and J.D. from Marquette University. She is a member of the State Bar of Wisconsin Family Law Section, the American Bar Association and the National Association of Counsel for Children. She serves as president of Julian Thomas Elementary School PTA and as a board member of Girl Scouts of Racine County.
