Wisconsin Gov. Evers Appoints David Pierce to Monroe County Circuit Court
The Monroe County Circuit Court in Wisconsin has a new judge. Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers announced on November 12 the appointment of David Pierce to Branch 2 of the Monroe County Circuit Court, filling the vacancy created by the retirement of Judge Mark L. Goodman. Pierce will serve a term ending July 31, 2028.
Evers said Pierce is a respected attorney with a deep commitment to the community and a passion for the law, and that he will serve the people of Monroe County well.
Pierce is a partner at Johns, Flaherty & Collins S.C. in La Crosse. He joined the firm as an associate in 2017 and has since gained experience in criminal law, civil litigation and administrative proceedings. He maintains a robust criminal defense practice in western Wisconsin and southeastern Minnesota, representing clients accused of serious felonies, and has served as a supplemental court commissioner for the La Crosse County Circuit Court since August 2025.
Pierce was raised on a family dairy farm in Monroe County and is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and the University of Wisconsin Law School. He was elected to the La Crosse County Board in 2022 and currently serves as its first vice chair. He has served on the boards of the Coulee Region Humane Society, Mobile Meals of La Crosse and Coulee Region RISE, and is currently president of the La Crosse County Bar Association. He is relocating to Monroe County for the position.
Monroe County Board Chair Cedric Schnitzler said Pierce is an excellent choice for the bench, noting that the role of a judge is not to represent any particular interest or viewpoint but to ensure that everyone is treated fairly and that the law is applied impartially, and that Pierce has the integrity, judgment and commitment to public service the position demands.
Pierce said it is an incredible honor and privilege to be appointed to serve as a Monroe County Circuit Court judge, and that the opportunity is especially meaningful because he was born and raised in Monroe County. He said he looks forward to carrying out the responsibility with fairness, impartiality and respect for the law and all those who come before the court.
