I have had the privilege of having Laura represent me in both business and personal legal issues. In both cases Laura took the time to listen to the details of the situation and bring the issue to the final end result that I wanted to obtain. She is very available via phone and email. I will certainly use Laura's services when the need arises.

I hired Laura not too long ago to help me with a Domestic Violence Injunction. Laura was always by my side and was on top of the case. She was there to answer my calls right away after dialing, whether at Midnight or Early in the morning. She did the same for any E-Mails sent to us, providing us with any documents that would be needed for the outcome we wished for. Then came the day of the hearing. She was punctual and there early, and she was sharp and was able to persuade the judge to go in a manner that is greatly done. Normally, Injunctions only last for about 1 - 2 years. But, with Laura's help we got an answer that seemed impossible, a ten year injunction. We got an answer that went beyond out expectations. I would recommend Laura for anyone. If you are reading this, Thank You Laura!

I was lucky enough to get Attorney Elizabeth Rich twice using the Avvo Legal Services Portal for consultations regarding a very complicated issue involving a small church in Wisconsin. Elizabeth was the first attorney I spoke to using Avvo, and I walked away from that phone call telling myself that was the best thing I ever did. She armed me with concrete next steps as well as a handful of different resources to help me find more information. I really had no idea where to turn at that point and Elizabeth pointed me in a direction which catapulted me forward. Almost a month later, using the Avvo Legal Services portal again, I was assigned Attorney Elizabeth. When I realized it was her I was absolutely delighted. Sure enough, she listened to how things had progressed and even told me she had reached out to lawyers in the area about my case to see if anyone was willing to help. It was just what I needed to feel hopeful again and feel a sense of direction. I highly recommend Attorney Elizabeth Rich, she will listen to your story and do her best to give you honest and thoughtful advice.

I am an international German businessman who was looking for a litigator in Waukesha County. I was referred to Attorney Schoenfeld through another international company where I had prior business relations. My company had sent $500,000 worth of product to a large manufacturing company in Wisconsin and after receipt of the product the company failed to pay for the product or return the product. I hired Attorney Schoenfeld to file a Complaint. Howard has a very direct, clear-cut, non-rubbish type of approach to business. I not only received a good upshot but I learned a few things from Howard on the art and craft of negotiating.

I retained Marcy 5 years ago and the only regret I have is not doing it sooner. She has changed our lives for the better. The school dist. has us backed in a corner. With Marcy they didn't stand a chance. They did not even want to go into deliberations, now she had them backed into a corner. Our lives suddenly changed that day. I will not go to an IEP without her representation there. It is one of the best decisions I ever made in my life. My son is better for it. Thank you Marcy and staff!

Marcy Tiffany is an outstanding lawyer specializing special education law. We faced a very difficult situation with the school district and how they treated our special needs child. His unique disability masked his capabilities. The school district was unable to support his needs and attempted to outsource him to a program that was inadequate for him. Ms. Tiffany took the time to explain his legal rights and the process to secure the right services for growth and development. We had no previous experience with a due process complaint and needed the guidance and professionalism of Ms. Tiffany and Jennifer Ralph to navigate the steps to ensure a good outcome for our child. At every turn in our journey, Ms. Tiffany and Ms. Ralph were the best advocates ever - asking all the tough questions, planning and preparing for meetings and making sure every option was considered. Beyond Ms. Tiffany’s exceptional knowledge and negotiation skills, she is a person who is invested in the best outcomes for her clients. She takes the time to really understand her clients’ needs and provides terrific counsel to access the best plan for each individual. Ms. Tiffany worked professionally with the school district lawyer and hearing officer to secure a settlement that provided services which made a significant difference in our child’s life. We highly recommend Marcy Tiffany and her professional team to parents or family members seeking an advocate for their loved ones that deserve to be treated with respect and to seek a brighter future.

Year after year, we have been told by other lawyers and are school district what are son can't have for his disabilities. Even though in Wrights Law, says it's a law, and he needs it for his disabilities. Until we were referred to Marcy and Tiffany by a person with a professional Special Education background. Oh my god, we couldn't be more appreciative towards Marcy and Jen going over all our son's IEP's and asking us questions! This way they could learn about our son and his special needs. When we went to mediation with Marcy, she handled the settlement case very professional. She fought and got our son what he needed. We see a big change for the better in our son! Therefore, we will stay with MarcyTiffany to keep helping our son with his education. Thanks to Marcy, Jen, and David!!

Bronson James is the attorney that the Super 100 attorneys go to for expert legal advice. A noted authority in both Federal and Oregon criminal law as well as an expert appeal tactician Mr. James’ legal opinion is also asked for by Court Judges prior to their rulings. Mr. James was on the “short list” for consideration as one of Oregon’s state Appellant Judges. Justly earned as he successfully argued the 2014 U.S. Supreme Court case Riley v. California as counsel for the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the Brennan Center for Justice. In this landmark Supreme Court decision, national law enforcement officers now can no longer search cell phones without a court ordered search warrant based upon probable cause. I was fortunate to have Mr. James on my legal defense team as he was able to recommend and negotiate the best possible outcome for my case based on his legal acumen and professional reputation. I most strongly recommend Mr. James either as your primary defense council or to work with your primary defense council during trial to prepare the strongest appeal case if necessary. Mr. James is one of those few professional attorneys who can give you your life back.

My case was very complicated and hard to establish what was medically wrong with me when I met Travis. Travis was the third lawyer I had engaged and the only lawyer that truly had a medical understanding of how to best move forward with the case. It took four years from the date of the accident before my case was settled which made my case very frustrating and emotional for me. Travis handled this entire personal trauma in the most professional and understands way. I honest believe my case would not have gone as well with another firm.

My husband and I hired Jonathan after having a dispute with a contractor. This was the first time either one of us had ever hired a lawyer. Jonathan was highly recommended by a colleague and we immediately understood why. I texted him requesting urgent help on a Thursday night as our issue was time sensitive. He responded that evening and by Friday morning, we had hired him. He was able to efficiently gather enough information to start addressing our urgent concern that Friday afternoon. Within the week, our situation was resolved to our satisfaction. His responsiveness and professionalism was outstanding. He helped set expectations and educate us. He was upfront about expected costs for our case and when we ended up exceeding that, he honored his initial quote. We are in the middle of an adoption and he told us to take the difference of the quote and actual cost of his services and apply it towards the adoption. It was not expected and he certainly was not obligated to do this but was greatly appreciated. If we ever need a lawyer again, we will not hesitate to reach out. I have already provided his information to another co-worker.

My job was eliminated after 18 yrs. I was 1 of 3 over age 60 eliminated. Since there were new employees and less seniority employees , i felt i was let go unfairly with age discrimination. Jonathan fought for a new severance contract against the medical corporation and won. He achieved double the severance i was offered per "their protocol" that was unfair. Jonathan was kind, calm, explained what i didnt understand ( which was most legal terminology!) And worked with me as my own advocate. Advising and suggesting. Timely , tenacious ( did not let down his drive to succeed in our goal.) Smart , timely, direct. I consulted and hired him within 2 days of losing my job. Highly recommend Jonathan.

I hired Lori for a modification after having a different attorney for my original divorce. I wish Lori had represented me from the beginning - I would have saved a lot of money and a lot of frustration. Lori listened to me and helped me clarify my goals. She got me more time with my kid and she also got me a more reasonable child support order. My case was complicated - several attorneys turned me down before I found Lori. On top of that, my ex had a difficult lawyer. Lori handled my case with skill and professionalism. If you are looking for an attorney who knows what she’s doing and who fights for you and who gets results, hire Lori!

I would highly recommend Lori and I hope I never need another lawyer but if I do, I know who I'm going to call! I thought because I'm male, the courts would be biased. Lori made sure I was always heard and treated fairly. She is also very affordable and she worked with me on a payment plan, which I truly needed due to the divorce! Great job, Lori.

Nothing could be more frightening than to have your child brought home to you, bloodied and beaten up. I have never felt so vulnerable and helpless. Initially, I tried to handle her legal needs myself—calling the police, contacting her school, and petitioning for civil restraining orders against the juveniles who assaulted my daughter. We encountered a court system that was unhelpful, that favored the assailants because they had a lawyer, and that unfairly subjected my daughter to insults and reprimanded my 16-year-old daughter. I interviewed a few lawyers and kept being told to talk to Todd Spitzer because of his expertise in victim’s rights. Hiring Spitzer turned the case around for us. He was consistently respectful, and his advice was always on the mark. Spitzer invoked my daughter’s Marsy’s Law rights (the California Victims' Bill of Rights Act of 2008, which Spitzer helped become part of the state’s constitution). He represented us in civil court, where he was able to get temporary restraining orders continued through the criminal proceedings. With his representation, my daughter was treated respectfully. When the District Attorney moved to prosecute, Todd Spitzer, under the provisions of Marsy’s Law, represented my daughter in court, talked with the District Attorney, made a successful argument for full restitution, and relayed my daughter’s remarks to the judge. This saved my daughter from being further victimized by the courts and relieved her of the trauma of having to again be in the presence of her main attacker. The guilty plea in this criminal assault case was one that all other attorneys I talked to said was unlikely if not impossible. Todd Spitzer made it possible, negotiating with the defense attorney and making sure that my daughter’s rights were upheld and that her interests were fairly represented. At each step along the way, Todd Spitzer kept us fully informed about the process and was always available to answer our questions. My daughter’s ability to pull through this trauma is related to a great degree to Todd Spitzer’s ability to obtain justice for her. He gave her confidence, and he made her feel supported; he transformed her from victim to survivor. We are grateful for his commitment to victim’s rights and to doing what is right.

Rima the epitome of professionalism, kind, but is 'no nonsense' when representing her clients.

Rima takes the time to understand the details of your case and has an in-depth understanding of higher-education law. After an initial discussion of the problem I was relieved to find out that Rima concentrated her practice on representing faculty Rather than institutions. She was excellent at responding to attempts by university lawyers to bully and intimidate me, and in making sure that they respond to the concerns I raised. In the end, the settlemnet Rima negotiated for me was over twice the amount that the university originally offered.

My son got himself into some trouble in college a couple years ago when he was 18. We initially hired an attorney that was a friend of a family member. After viewing the discovery he told us our best option was a plea deal for 3 years in state prison! He explained that due to the way the law is written, and my son's immediate confession when questioned by police, there was nothing anyone could do to reduce that sentence. We didn't want to accept that deal so we sought different representation, but in the back of our minds we believed that attorney and were devastated. My son had never been in trouble before or since, and was extremely remorseful. I worried how 3 years in state prison would change him. We were introduced to Mike from a police officer friend who told us that Attorney's Hartman was so good he and his fellow officers dreaded having to face them in court. Mike was empathetic from the start. He reviewed our case, listened to our concerns and got right to work. Despite the snail's pace of the courts during the pandemic, and multiple changes in the prosecutor assigned to our case, Mike was relentless in his attempts to negotiate for a better deal and kept us abreast of the situation as it evolved. He was able to have the charge reduced from a 2nd degree to a 3rd degree, and the 3 year state prison sentence reduced to 180 days in county jail. Many lawyers would be very satisfied with that achievement, but Mike didn't rest. Mike argued at sentencing for an even further reduction to no jail component, so well, in fact, that the prosecutor stated in open court that they would not appeal if the judge decided on a reduced sentence with no jail component. The judge ultimately sentenced him to 90 days in county jail followed by probation. Mike still didn't rest. Ten days later my son was released from jail upon admission into a program that Mike facilitated after sentencing. He is the reason my son will be home for the Holidays this year with a newfound gratitude for his second chance. Mike is genuine, capable, kind, diligent, compassionate, skilled, and relentless. He achieved what many other attorneys couldn't, or wouldn't, and my family is eternally grateful.

Mr. Mormando recently helped me through a DUI charge. It was my first time (and last time!) and I had no idea what to do. I had never even been in a courtroom before. Mr. Mormando explained everything to me with exacting detail as to what to expect in court, the possible penalties, repercussions and what would happen after the verdict was rendered. He was always available to me when I called, answered every one of my questions patiently, sent me detailed emails explaining exactly what was happening with my case, and thoroughly went through all of my evidence and options. Thanks to his knowledge and experience in DUI cases, he got me the best verdict I could have possibly expected in this situation. Without Mr. Mormando's help and guidance, I can't imagine how I would have gotten through this experience! Highly recommended!

Mike handled a matter in municipal court for me. He was always responsive, efficient, and got me the best result possible. Because of his past experience as a prosecutor, he knew precisely how the system worked to negotiate the best possible deal for me. I escaped what could have been a very costly penalty on my driver's license with what amounted to a small fine. I would refer him to anyone.

I hired Brandon Brown to defend me on an Animal Neglect charge. At our very first meeting I learned that Mr Brown is an honest and upfront person. He spoke with so much confidence. With his professionalism and how well he considered my concerns I knew he was the right person for my case and I was absolutely correct! I only appeared in court twice for this case and on the second round Mr Brown beat my case and charges were dismissed!!! I recommend Brandon Brown to anyone who’s looking to hire an attorney.

Attorney Brown was very courteous and thorough in response to my needs. He listened to my concerns and took special measures to address the specific needs related to my brother's case. He frequently asked if we had additional questions, taking time to answer our questions. He represented us in a highly professional manner, facilitating the best defense possible. Particularly, he communicated my brothers health needs to the court and followed through on our behalf to obtain appropriate considerations and care for him.

My experience/journey with Courtney Kelledes has been a pleasant and knowledgeable one. I contacted her for help with a years long ongoing situation which had been taken upon by other lawyers with no resolve. After explaining my situations and concerns she informed me that she would contact me after reviewing my info with her partners. I was contacted back shortly where she told me, while she could not make guarantees she and her partners did find merit in my cause, requests and ultimately my goal. From there Courtney laid out a precise step by step strategy with options for said steps. After that it was blast off as she went to work on my behave legally while thoroughly explaining steps, goals, expectations and timelines. She always kept an open ear to my concerns being that I had not had the best if not down right bad experience dealing with the various organizations in past attempts. Courtney always heard my voice and broke down said concerns with answers that I could understand as it applied to the law and my situation. She was always upfront as she pointed out the upside and possible downsides and always had a plan to address any and all possibilities. I appreciated Courtney’s patience with me as there were times due to the courts, law enforcement and past covid 19 fallout the results, while when realized were favorable, seemed to go beyond what would have been thought typical time wise which was frustrating but even then that’s when she showed her value and diligence as she never let department drag go without inquiry on my behalf. Courtney represented me and performed her duties as my lawyer as I always wanted from my initial attempts in the past but had not received from other lawyers before her. We ultimately achieved our goal with me gaining confidence that the legal system isn’t just one sided. Courtney Kelledes is a knowledgeable, down to earth, professional lawyer!

When faced with the awesome power of government, there is only one choice to advocate for your cause. There is no greater asset to the legal profession I have met in my nearly 50 years! I cannot say enough to express my appreciation, gratitude and honor having the Kevin Adams defense. Look no further you need no other advocate, he is a one man army, producing far better results than a dozen attorneys.

My name is khupmin . I was accused of sexual battery at a car dealership where I used to work in March of 2012. I am a father of two kids . I am also a foreigner from north east India , living in the great nation of the United States of America with a green card . My life came tumbling down after sexual battery accusation . Since its a felony , I can be deported if convicted . That means can't live in the United States with my family . No more American dreams . I hired a lawyer but was not quite confident about his competency so , I research online a bit more and that's when I came across Mr Kevin Adams ( attorney at law ) I read testimonials of some of his previous trials winning accomplishment and I was convince right there that I found the right attorney that will have the balls to fight for me and above all , WIN !! The case . That's when I approached him to be my attorney . Today , on the 14 th September 2016 , about 4 years later , I was acquitted of sexual battery , a felony , all because of the hard work , tedious preparation , a genius in cross examination, of Mr Kevin Adams ( attorney at law ) . Today , I am a free man , all because of him. I am not being paid to say great things about him . This is my first hand experience , of working with him. If you ever need an attorney for any damn thing in this society , you ought to call Mr Kevin Adams immediately , period . He will get you the best outcome or results for your circumstances or situation . Trust me , you owe it to yourself . Can't thank you enough! Kevin , for all you have done for me and my family . May god bless you abundantly !!!

Kevin Adams has earned my respect not only as a very good attorney but also my friend who has represented me in not only a civil case involving millions of dollars, but as well has represented me in another case where my life was on the line. He never quit believing in my innocence and fought for me all the way. The verdict was NOT GUILTY on all counts. I truly am grateful to him for his professional tenacity and his zeal to fight for his client. He is the only attorney I trust without question. Thanksgiving is a special day or me for I know without Kevin Adams I wouldn't be able to spend it with my family. Highly recommended.

He is a nice person. But if you want someone who will fight for you in my own opinion he won’t. Very hard to reach at important times. Overall let me down on my case. Again very nice and respectful to his CLIENTS; however he has no problem telling you” plead guilty and pray for mercy” after months of saying everything is fine. All I wanted was a fair trial. I asked for a jury over 3xs some how I walked into court with a bench trial. Complicated cases is not his strong point and instead of passing it on to another lawyer, he’ll try gambling your freedom. Really let me down didn’t even put in a motion of discovery he was listening to audios off of the commonwealths computer. That he never heard which where played at each level I’ve been to in court! Didn’t even have the correct dates being used against me. On top of all that was rude to my witnesses and NEVER spoke to them and this was my appeal trial. Set me up for pure failure.

We threw questions and concerns at her one after another and without hesitation she was able to quickly answer our concerns away.

Robert was recommended to me by a friend, and my past experience with lawyers was not great, to say the least. I had always seen them (in injury circumstances) as someone who has the tools and vocabulary but essentially acts as a middle man that just takes most of what you are due. Not SO with Bob. After hiring, he was very upfront with me about the circumstances and scenarios that my motorcycle accident & claim would lead to, and he helped me every step of the way. By the grace of God, and his professional team we reached a result that was beyond satisfactory. He worked at a speed much faster than the state of California and was always one step ahead of everyone else. If you have need for a personal injury lawyer I can't recommend Bob enough. He's professional, timely, candid, and will work his hardest to make sure that you are fairly represented, and given your best chance when pitted against insurance companies and 3rd parties.

I have never engaged a lawyer for anything before, and was incredibly reluctant to do so. But on the advice of friends after several months of trying to get a resolution on my own proved frustrating and fruitless, I got in touch with Bob to help sort out medical bills from a bike/auto collision. Bob was thorough in his explanations, incredibly responsive and refreshingly realistic at every stage about possible outcomes. Thankfully, the situation was resolved in my favor - but even if it hadn't been, I would have been very pleased with Bob's professionalism and service.

Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer

When meeting with a lawyer for the first time, it's important to ask the right questions to understand their expertise and determine if they're the right fit for your legal needs. Here are some top questions to consider:

  1. What experience do you have with cases similar to mine?
