"We prayed for us to get the right lawyer," Larry Trammell said. They found Milwaukee attorney Robin Shellow. She reviewed the police reports, which showed that their son, Adam, 22, had died after West Milwaukee police broke into his apartment and tased him repeatedly as he showered. "She was so upset when she came back from the police station. It was almost like it was her kid," Larry Trammell recalled. "She said, 'I'm going to do everything I can to get justice.'" Shellow, along with attorney Mark Thomsen, helped the Trammells obtain a $2.5 million civil settlement from the City of West Milwaukee.
