Kieth is very easy to talk to and personable, he welcomes conversation and all information put his way regarding your case. He makes what could be a stressful situation not so uncomfortable. His ability to empower with knowledge and forethought is very comforting and reassuring. Kieth answers questions clearly and concisely, making them easily understood. I genuinely appreciate his council and enjoy working with him. I would highly recommend his services to anyone in need.

I was falsely accused of child abuse in walworth county and attorney Keith Venema worked hard and proved me innocent in a jury trial. I sure any other attorney would have given up and plead out but he was willing to fight in court untill I was found innocent.

From the first call to Mr. Duquette to our final resolve of our case with the Village of Williams Bay Mr. Duquette made my wife and myself feel as though we had nothing to worry about, as the Village of Williams Bay did not understand the law as the Village had written it. At the Village board of zoning appeals Mr. Duquette was able to explain the law to the board of zoning appeals. We stood before the board with Mr. Duquette and the board finally realized it was probably in their best interest to allow for our variance due to many mistakes that were made by the Village Building Commissioner and the board of zoning appeals lack of knowledge of the laws they way they had written them. Could not have accomplished this WIN without James Duquette. His staff and James were are very responsive and James is on target with our need and ready to assist us in the future if we should need his services again.

Mr. Duquette did a fantastic job. Very easy to get a ahold of and very helpful. He was perfect when we had to go to supreme court.

From my initial consultation through the entire legal process, Attorney Duquette was right on target. He and his staff were proficient, professional and thorough. Attorney Duquette kept me in the loop and made a deal for me that was palatable and acceptable. He also came in slightly under budget to boot. I recommend Attorney Duquette for any criminal defense, or other case, you may need his assistance with.

A divorce is a difficult thing. Kelly made me feel comfortable from the moment I first spoke with her. She was always prompt in returning messages. i had heard stories of some lawyers that are just after a buck. I never felt that from her. She clearly explained all options and what to expect at the proceedings in clear and simple terms. She clearly knows her trade well. kudos also to her assistant Sandy Odegaard for her hard work. She kept me abreast of court dates, hearings, and communications with my ex's lawyer. They are also both genuinely nice people and I would happily recommend them to a friend.

Kelly came highly recommended by another lawyer. I engaged her services for a difficult custody battle, and never regretted the decision. If anything, I felt bad for the opposing counsel, and would occasionally think, "I wonder what this would be like if Kelly had a real opponent?"
Kelly was pretty much everything you want in counsel. Knowledgeable, efficient, determined, concise, and just generally a kick-ass lawyer. On top of which, she was an approachable and reasonable human being. Cannot recommend her too highly.

Kelly was recommended by another lawyer. I wasn't familiar with her work, but quickly realized I had been fortunate in my selection. My best interests were always represented, and she is very aware of your situation at all times.

Unfortunately I've had a lot of experience with court systems after my return home from Iraq. It has been an uphill battle, and no one has been there to fight for me in this system. Until now, my life has taken a new road and improving fast. This new chance was given to me after a lawyer put everything into helping me out. Jason D Sanders did everything possible to help me with the legal system we face today. If you're in trouble and need an attorney who can do everything possible, this is your man! He goes above and beyond what is required, researches anything and everything potentially beneficial towards your case, and won't quit on you. He is an exceptional gentleman and by far the best lawyer out there!

My husband and I went to Jason for our will. We never wrote one before and didn't know what to expect. Jason took the time to explain and answer all questions, was extremely patient, and was extremely respectful. I was most impressed at how quickly he was able to provide our completed will. I will not hesitate to work with Jason again and would gladly refer him to anyone needing legal advice!

Our landlords were trying to bill us for more than $1000 in repairs for damage we didn't do. Jason took our case, did some research, and got them to agree to drop it without us paying another penny! He was amazing in person, on the phone, thru email just all around easy to work with and excellent availability. I work 13 hr days and he was reachable before my shift on lunch or at the end of the day in the late night hours. If I ever have need for an attorney again I know I'll only need Jason D Sanders

Mr. Navis was extremely careful to include everything that was needed in our wills. Our information and wishes were done fully, complete in every detail and carried out with care. We appreciated his explanation of terminology and often with examples so we could understand the literature. He also looked through our house purchase paper work and that our deeds and titles were done right.

I hire the Julie Nommensen and her father David. My estate case went on for 3 years, the opposing party appealed (appeal stayed in me favor) They did everthing possible to make it so. They are precise, factual, knowledgeable on the law, attorneys come to them for answers.
They take on your issue as though is was their own. Open communication, knew everything as it was happening. Extremely helpful, supportive, kind, good souls
Best attorneys, I would rehire them.
I was very blessed they represented me.

When corrupt Walworth Deputies wanted to beat me up and charge me criminally for Disorderly Conduct and Resisting an Officer, Attorney Flitcroft was ready for a fight! He dotted his i’s and crossed his t’s then went back to make sure it was done to his liking. In other words, when other attorneys wanted me to “plead out” like a coward, I would not, and Attorney Flitcroft made sure the truth would be heard in court. He subpoenaed all five deputies involved, a courthouse worker, a witness and even the Clerk of Court Sheila Reiff. He got all the video footage I acquired into evidence and even filed a motion to dismiss before the trial in an attempt to create a pre-trial deposition of witnesses (unfortunately the judge saw right through this strategy and stayed the motion until trial). But this shows you anecdotal evidence of this experienced attorney’s “outside the box” thinking when preparing a criminal defense. He ground away at District Attorney Matthew Leusink (the guy who looks like he’s afraid of his own shadow) and in a legal game of chicken the criminal charges were dismissed at the prosecutor’s motion. He opted to charge me with civil ordinance violations instead, but at least I am 100% guaranteed not to do any jail time. If it had not been for the experience and relentlessness of Attorney Flitcroft giving the prosecutor no respite, the outcome may have been different. If you are charged in Walworth, know that most attorneys are afraid of a trial in Walworth, they would rather plead out. So if you want aggressive defense, give Attorney Flitcroft a call, his initial consultation is free and after talking to him yourself you’d probably want to retain him.

I was in criminal trouble when the cops entered my house with no warrant and used lame excuses to justify it. Anthony told me not to worry and he got the case dismissed with some motion. We argued in front of the judge and he agreed with Anthony. He did an awesome job and I highly reccomend his services.

I hired Timothy Mistrioty for my daughter who received 4 tickets in Walworth, Wisconsin . I was horrified at the fact that one of the tickets was a DUI. My daughter only 23, I knew this could ruin her life. Not that she didn't create the problem herself however I have always believed people deserve a second chance. I have little faith in attorneys as most seem to just line their pockets with your money ! I could not ask for a more reasonable contract/payment for what he was about to do (however I thought it was going to be a waste of hard earned money at the time we hired him...Boy was I wrong) ! I couldn't have been any more satisfied with the outcome. He managed to get 2 tickets dismissed and the DUI amended down to Reckless driving. A paraphernalia charge amended to a disorderly conduct. Honestly how could anyone expect better than that outcome ! My daughter and I are so THANKFUL for a real attorney who fought for her and possibly changed what could have been a black cloud forever. The moment that he gave us the outcome a huge burden was lifted and a heartbreak mended !! Thank you Timothy Mistrioty for your true dedication and concern for my daughter's future ! It will be much brighter because of you !! God bless you !

Randall is an excellent listener, yet knows how to cut off any rambling to help keep discussions on task and from needlessly escalating legal fees. He helped me stick to the main points and not get distracted by time-consuming wasted efforts. He wisely got necessary depositions from witnesses and got on record the points necessary to build my case. He guided me through mediation (failed due to the other party) and through a two-day trial where he demonstrated the facts on my side and poor credibility in my opponents. The judge ruled in my favor, and Randy's brief was so excellent that the judge awarded me embezzlement monies on top of ruling in my favor on the real estate dispute. I heartily recommend Randall Leece as a Real Estate attorney.

I have used Mr. Rasmussen in 3 real estate transactions. I also recommended him to friends who needed legal advice and/or representation regarding issues with township government and with settling the estate of a neighbor. I was very pleased with Mr. Rasmussen's work and results and was told by the people I referred to him. He is also an expert o the history of the Geneva Lake area and very eloquent in both area history and the law. Mr. Rasmussen is also a very nice person!

Attorney Danz has handled a child custody case, potential criminal case which resulted in no charges being filed, and a professional licensure issue for me. Additionally I have recommended Danz to employees who have used him with highly positive results. His fees are very much in line with other area attorneys. He has argued before the State Supreme Court and has a background in law enforcement as well as being the former DA for 15 years in Walworth County. I am an area business owner, and highly recommend

My husband and I hired Mr. Lisle Blackbourn to represent us in a case against the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. The DNR had permanently flooded our property that was surrounded by their wetland restoration project. It seems that the DNR doesn't always have the best reputation for being concerned about the welfare of Wisconsin residents that have been affected by their actions. Many people had told us that if you are dealing with the DNR you will never win. Well, how WRONG they were! From the moment we met Lisle, professionalism showed. The extensive amount of preperation and gathering of evidence left no voids. All actions always received quick response from him and his team. He left no gaps for the DNR to wiggle through to disprove their guilt. Lisle won the case and we were fairly compensated for the DNR's actions. Lisle Blackbourn also took great care to make sure that all wording in the final documents would protect us into the future. My husband and I actually think that Mr. Lisle Blackbourn is the only lawyer that could have handled this case. The amount of intelligence that he and his team possess could not be outdone. We had been criticized in the past for using a local lawyer and not going with a big city law firm. Nonsense! WE WON, and to think it all started with Lisle Blackbourn's ad in the "yellow Pages". We are forever grateful to him.

Mr. Walter helped me with a criminal case. He was my second lawyer. My first lawyer said plead guilty. Mr. Walter discovered a mistake in the investigation that led to reduced charges. I have no doubt that Mr. Walter saved me from a long prison sentence. I highly recommend him to anyone.

Hired at 325$ an hour with expectations he'd be motivated, diligent, and accurate was not what I received. He had to be reminded constantly that I was waiting patiently for action. Which I got charged for. He waited so long to act he lost track of details. When asked why he didn't submit documents, he didn't feel it was necessary. He consumed money by making mistakes, I had to correct, then charged me. Failed to gather ALL information given to him so he had to correct and reserve 4 ppl and amended court documents costing me more money. Overall, I wasn't impressed. He was fired, showed up to court anyway then charged me. He must be hard up for $$$. That he has to take money from a single woman that has a limited income to fatten his wallet. This is my perception of my 10month encounter with Steve and $7,000+ dollars later. It took Steve over 9 months to get a court date. Documents only require 20 days to respond. Thats a lot of wasted time. Steve was hire in Feb. I was expect to have the house on the market in the spring. His lackadaisical approach is frustrating. Emails were written and a special meeting was made to get my point across.
Steve didn't need my signature to withdraw from my case. Him showing up for court was an obligation to the court system not me, as he no longer was my employee. He charged me for drive time and the time he waited to tell the judge he was terminated. He's not a stand-up guy in my book.
My advice, go somewhere else.

I have seen both sides of this law firm; the courtroom side and the client side. Attorneys Koch, Duquette, and Renz and their staff are top notch. They listen empathetically when needed, yet shoot straight, clearly and concisely. They got the exact results I was looking for in my divorce. I would hire them again.

Atty Koch walked me through every step of my high conflict child custody case. My case was very contentious. He managed my expectations at the first meeting and told me what the most likely custody that I would be awarded. He never sugar coated anything.
He was prompt at returning phone calls and emails.
This was a rough/stressful time in my life and I was confident I would get the results we talked about.
Upon meeting Atty Koch, he made a statement to me that had helped me through the months of the court process “the wheels of justice grind slowly”.... meaning everybody wants court to be done yesterday- including myself.... but that isn’t the case.
Be patient.
If I ever need a lawyer again I already know who I’m calling.

Attorney Kuehn has a thorough knowledge of the law and defended my case with determination. He took me through a 2 year brutal divorce with excellent results. I appreciated working with him because he cares and goes above and beyond instead of handing you as a “case”. He definitely has your best interest in mind, I highly recommend giving him a call.

I'm now 2.5 years separated from the anxiety, frustration, anger, and confusion of a rough divorce situation that lasted over a year and a half. I would like to thank Attorney Missimer for his legal work and hours put in to eventually finalize my screwy case but more so for his genuine concern for my mental and emotional well being during the process and for protecting my future interests. I highly recommend Attorney Missimer if you are going through any divorce situation that has gotten "ugly". His personnel knowledge of the court and attorneys involved and legal prowess will protect you from yourself and greatly reduce the stress and anxiety! Thanks Richard! All the Best.

Any person's divorce is one of the worst times of their life! I called approximately 10 divorce lawyers, many of them simply blowing me off or quoting me a ridiculous "flat rate" that I absolutely could NOT afford.
In my mind, my divorce was simple! No property to divide or minor children to deal with. We divided all our property ourselves and had no accounts to split. I simply needed someone to lead me through the paper filing process at a price I could afford. One lawyer had the nerve to say to me, "Lady, no divorce is simple. As soon as you get to court, your husband will change his mind and want it all. That is why I charge a higher rate......to prepare for the future fight you will have". SERIOUSLY?
FINALLY, I talked to Attorney Richard Missimer. He was sympathetic and treated me with respect. He never belittled me. I explained my needs and he told me "exactly" what the process would be and what time spans we were looking at. He NEVER made me feel incompetent and repeatedly told me to ask him any questions I had, no matter how silly they might seem to me. I finally found my savior! He took that heavy load off of me and proceeded to lead me down the process without any fears. When he said he would send an email, the email was there, listing what paperwork was needed on my end to start the proceeding. When he said he would call, he called. When he said we would meet, we met when signatures were needed and the whole process became cut-and-dry!
When the process was complete, there were absolutely no "hidden" charges. He charged me exactly what he quoted me!
I would recommend him to anyone looking for an honest lawyer that truly cares for their needs!
