At Bosshard Parke, we take pride in the exceptional contributions of our attorneys, both in the legal field and within our community. Attorney Darla Krzoska exemplifies this commitment through her expertise in business and employment law, estate planning, and real estate, as well as her dedication to impactful volunteer work. We are excited to share more about Darla’s journey, her professional accomplishments, and her passion for serving the La Crosse area.

The following article originally appeared in Pathfinders, a local publication by Gundersen Medical Foundation, and highlights Darla’s meaningful work and community engagement.

As an attorney for Bosshard Parke Law, Darla Krzoska engages in meaningful work that she enjoys.
She also finds time to “fill her bucket” by volunteering for organizations whose values align with her own, which is why she joined Gundersen Medical Foundation’s Board of Directors in 2022. 

Choosing A Place To Call Home 

Darla grew up in Maple Grove, Minn. and attended Winona State University. During that time, she met her husband, Dan, who was attending the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse. After graduation, the two moved to Madison, Wis., to further their educations. Enrolling at the University of Wisconsin – Madison, her husband pursued a graduate degree while Darla enrolled in law school. 

By 1998, the couple had each finished their degree and decided to move back to the area they had come to love as undergraduates. “We chose the La Crosse area because we felt it would be a good place to raise kids while still having access to the amenities of bigger cities like Madison or the Twin Cities” she shares, adding that access to outdoor activities like biking, camping, and enjoying the river were also important. 

Committed To Community 

Later that year, Darla joined the legal team at Parke O’Flaherty, Ltd., and in 2005, she joined the Bosshard Parke Law Firm in La Crosse, where she specializes in business and employment law, banking, wills and trusts, estate planning and probate, and real estate. Darla and Dan eventually had two sons, now both in college. 

Being active in her community has always been important to Darla, so when her children were young, she volunteered for the Cub Scouts and the Gateway Area Council (BSA) Board. Then, as her kids got older, she sought out additional organizations that also spoke to her heart, including the Women’s Fund of Greater La Crosse, ORC Industries, Inc., and Gundersen Medical Foundation. Given her family’s positive experiences doctoring at Gundersen and the organization’s focus on community, Darla felt the Foundation would be a good fit and that her expertise in estate planning would be beneficial. 

“I feel like I’m still learning about all the ways the Foundation touches our community,” she says, “but it’s clear that gifts to the Foundation directly impact many patients and families. Additionally, investments in medical education and research will impact our community’s access to quality healthcare for the future. That impact is nothing short of profound.”
