In August of 2016 I hired Mark to handle updating my Trust and ensuring it more adequately reflected my wishes. Mark and his team did a solid job of not only meeting my needs, but ensured that it was far more robust than what the previous two attorneys at another Milwaukee firm had done. Mark is professional, thorough and knowledgeable on Trusts and provided me with a great sense of peace knowing that I now have a sound Trust. I have already recommended Mark to a few friends.

My husband and I met with Mark and his staff 3 weeks prior to going out of the country on vacation. We did not have a will in place. Mark explained all our options very thoroughly and how a trust would protect our assets. We were very happy with Mark and his staff. We now have peace of mind that our daughter and grandchildren will be taken care of in the future.

My husband and I talked for some time about changing our will to a trust. The process seemed overwhelming so we procrastinated. Our friends referred us to Mark Rogers and we are glad they did! Our initial meeting was about 3 hours. Mark, Troy and Stacy took their time explaining and diagramming the details of our trust. They made it easy to understand and were very patient with our endless number of questions. We were leaving on a trip in 3 weeks and hoped our trust could be completed before we left. Mark was able to accommodate our request and paperwork was signed days before our departure. Mark and his team were extremely responsive. Our phone calls were always returned the same day often within an hour. We highly recommend Mark Rogers.

An error with Adobe Acrobat screwed up our AOS process. I entered our original marriage date and the printer in my home broke for unknown reasons. I had to copy the I-485 form in an external USB drive and took it to FedEx for printing. Unfortunately, when I opened the document in FedEx, Adobe defaulted the marriage date to current date. I did not know this until I received an RFE which stated that the marriage date in application does not match the date in certificate. The amount of evidence required was enormous and the verbiage in the RFE was like Latin (We weren't able to understand a single sentence). That's when we met Jennifer to help us with the RFE and she was very professional, knowledgeable and guided us with the right documents. The way she organized the documents was phenomenal. Our AOS was approved in 3 days after USCIS received the response for RFE. I would highly recommend her for any immigration questions or issues.

Public Defenders have a general reputation of being pro-government. In fact, on the streets they are called "Public Pretenders." Mr. Uller is anything but. I had the pleasure of having Josh represent me while on parole/probation for (I still don't understand the difference!) for (believe it or not) tax evasion from 1998! My conviction was in October of 2014 and was the result of a plea bargain I agreed to only because the feds were harassing my family. Despite my acquiescence to the Federal Mafia, my mom and only brother haven't spoken to me since. Mr. Uller is kind, hard-working, patient, intelligent, and soft-spoken, unlike any other lawyer I had the displeasure to work with. Thank you, Esquire!

Mr.uller worked on my federal case and he did a great job. Mr.uller was very professional and he knows law,he was very efficient and effective when dealing with court proceedings. He made sure he made all his schedule appointments and if not I knew that he couldn't attend ahead of time. Mr. Uller stated facts he never let me interpret things that were not the truth, meaning I went in every situation knowing any outcome nothing was ever guaranteed. He gets to know his clients . Mr uller is very smart and is a great lawyer I strongly recommend hiring him if you need a great defense attorney.

He provides clear and thorough explanations of all options and is transparent in his recommendations. Johnathan is honest and straightforward. He truly cares about justice and equity and will advocate with persistent tenacity on behalf of his clients. I recommend Jonathan as a lawyer for employment, labor, business, and real estate matters. I would also recommend Johnathan as a resource for any other legal needs. He is very knowledgeable and provides sound and reliable advice.

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.

When I first met Luke I appreciated that he listened to all my concerns, answered all my questions and did not give me the typical lawyer pitch on how he could help me get a large some of money. Instead Luke told me exactly what the process would look like, realistic timelines as to how long the process would take and even step by step directions on what I should do if I chose not to use a lawyer. Luke and his team have been very responsive to my emails regarding my cases. Based on my results from my first case I know that he goes over and beyond to make sure you are compensated fairly.

He always kept me updated and informed in a timely fashion on the progress of my pending case. Luke was readily available any time I had questions or concerns. I found Luke to be very trustworthy and I most appreciated the way he spoke directly to me and was able to explain legalese in layman’s terms. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend Attorney Luke Witte.

I wish I could give 100 stars, 5 just isn't enough. Mr. Binder is an outstanding lawyer and anyone should have the utmost confidence when hiring him. I hired him for a drug related case vs the State of Wisconsin. I was facing 9 felony charges. The most serious one up to 40 years in prison and the others weren't much better; together they totaled 143 years maximum imprisonment exposure. On top of this, the prosecutor was no slouch, quite the opposite in fact, lots of prison is always what he wants and he doesn't budge on that. This prosecutor actively tried to make my charges sound worse than they really were to the judge during the hearings to a blatant degree; I got the feeling the State really wanted to put me away for a long time, which was terrifying. From day one I always got the impression that Mr. Binder worked tirelessly on my case, doing everything and researching everything that he possibly could to get me the best decision possible. I also got the impression that he genuinely cared about my wellbeing and was invested in the outcome of my case far past any payment, and I was right (read to end to see why). To begin, Mr. Binder and his firm secured my bail at $5000, when the State asked for $100,000. Mr. Binder poured over every piece of evidence while crafting my defense and kept me in the loop the entire time. He was able to successfully elongate my case, always getting at least 3 months between hearings, if not more. In conjunction with that, he gave me tips and ideas on what I could do to best boost my chances of a favorable verdict, which turned out to be very helpful. As a result, I had the time I needed to follow through with his suggestions and I am confident that they saved me a lot of prison time. Throughout the case Mr. Binder made himself available whenever I had questions or concerns and he always took the time to explain everything in great detail to me; often times this would take up hours of his time and I always felt as though he was glad to do it. The initial plea offer from the State was 8 years in prison, which Mr. Binder thought was unnecessarily high and he was able to get the plea down to some amount of prison time, left to the Court's decision, with the ability for the Defense to argue. With this prosecutor that seemed like magic. In the end, he was able to argue for 4 years of probation with 9 months of condition time (3 months straight time, 6 months Huber) and an imposed and stayed sentence of a few years. I was not fined at all, and I was able to get a report date 1 month out from my sentence date instead of being taken to jail right after sentencing. This is where most lawyers would end it, but not Mr. Binder. He continued to keep in contact with me and help me navigate the Huber situation; he reached out multiple times to the HOC in attempts to get information from them, get them to guarantee my release for Huber (HOC makes their own rules and can just ignore what the judge says, doesn't make sense at all, broken system) and possibly get me electronic monitoring instead (still up in the air, but probably a no due to my charges, nothing he can do about that). The HOC is wholly incompetent in every regard, yet Mr. Binder keeps trying, and keep in mind, he is not obligated to at all, my case is over, he can walk away anytime he wants, but he's choosing to go far above and beyond and it's fantastic. Mr. Binder is not just a phenomenal lawyer, he is a phenomenal human being as well, and it shows in many ways. He is the type of lawyer that all others should strive to be like and live up to. The bottom line is, hiring Mr. Binder was the best decision I could have made. If you want a truly outstanding lawyer who will do everything he can for you and treat you like his friend or family, Mr. Binder is your man. Do not hesitate to hire him.

I was pretty devastated about my situation until I called John. He had been recommended to me by someone I trust and almost immediately made me feel better about what was going on. We sat down and talked. By the end of the conversation, I was sure I picked the right guy. From then on, he had everything under control. Any time something came up, he handled it and let me know. Every time I asked him something, he had the answer or got back to me right away. I once called hm in a panic because I missed a form in the mail and thought I was going to lose my license. He had already submitted the form for me. I called him when my scram broke and fell off in the middle of the night and he got ahold of all the right people and I was able to make it right without me being non compliant. This court appearance was one of biggest things to happen in my life. This was going to change everything. I can’t believe the relief I felt when I walked away with a dismissal. John got me through one of the roughest patches in my life. His help was worth every penny. I will absolutely be recommending him to anyone I know that finds themselves where I found myself.

Wendy from day one to my sentencing date (and even after) was amazing to deal with. Super informative and always had a plan of attack on how to go about my case, I spoke with many lawyers before hiring Wendy and none of them seemed to care; but immediately it felt different with Wendy I got the best possible outcome from my case and I dont believe I would've gotten anything comparable with anyone else. Wendy will fight for you from day one and always come up with ways to make sure you get the best outcome possible. I could talk all day about how amazing she was for me, I highly recommend Wendy for any case big or small she will fight until the end for you. You will not be disappointed or uninformed with her as your lawyer. She doesn't beat around the bush and tells it how it is Hire her if you want the outcome you deserve.

I have used the Welcenbach law firm for over 10 years, ever sense my first case for workman's comp injury showed me the quality of the firm. I deal with other attorneys out of state, but when I need something in Wisconsin, I have Robert Welcenbach's number in my phone. This last week I needed a specific nondisclosure document for an upcoming meeting and called Robert. He produced higher then expected quality, at a very reasonable price, in half the time of the deadline. Any time I need something in Wisconsin I call Robert first, because in the past he has taken the time to give me a quality reference if he felt they wouldn't be the best fit for my needs. Time and time again, Robert and the rest of the Welcenbach family has shown me they care about what is best for their client.

Never did we feel he talked at us, we always felt he talked with us. He spoke with respect, concern and positivity in a situation that was life changing and frightening. There was always excellent communication and we always felt informed. We were kept up to date as our case progressed. Our questions were always answered and we never felt uncomfortable asking questions. Corrine was professional, easy to talk to, compassionate and kind. We felt the fee was more than appropriate.

I cannot recommend this firm enough! I was a passenger in a severe car collision and sustained injuries that are still impacting my daily life. Ric Domnitz came to my home for our first meeting. He spoke to us - not at us (which is one fear I had dealing with a lawyer). He was sure we understood everything that was happening every step of the way over the years. He and his staff were always available to answer any questions or to reassure our concerns. I never felt alone or confused in this entire process. It was stressful and scary but I strongly believe I only made it through to the end because of Ric Domnitz and his staff's ability to be in the fight with me. We were a team and in the end, we won. Thank you Ric and staff for all you did to help me and my family get through this lengthy process!

Laureen was recommended to us by a social worker at the Guatemalan consulate in Chicago. She was very knowledgeable, compassionate, and easy to work with. There were a few minor glitches, but Laureen did a great job at a reasonable price. She was able to tie together the various documents to provide a strong case that G_____ should qualify for DACA. Due to extenuating circumstances, we did not have concrete proof other than affidavits (letters). She was able to deal with the Spanish documents from Guatemala and get a true translation. She was very quick to answer our emails and thoroughly answer all of our questions. We may seek Laureen's advice again in related matters. We were very happy with the result and would recommend Laureen to anyone seeking legal assistance.

What I found is the Laureen is very bright, very intuitive, and has a heart. She was up front about the charges and so we knew exactly where we were and she never added "extra" costs. She emailed us with updated information and we appreciated her quick responses. We asked her many many questions and if she did not know the answer, she would say that and would find out the answer to our questions.

I talked to Kime about the situation and she was very understanding and very reasonable with her prices. She kept me well informed and did not charge me for every email and phone call she sent to me like the previous lawyer did. I was recommended to Kime by a friend of the family and she turned out to be the BEST!!. We wished we would have found her sooner.

Mr. Maynard was very helpful and informative in helping me understand the applicable facts involved in my case. He made sure I understood the law as it applied to my specific case, the time factor involved, and gave me options to choose from to settle or not settle the case with the dollar values and what the ramifications / risks involved were for each option. I felt comfortable with the way he exported information to me, with what he expected the opposing counsel would attempt , the legal process requirements and the time versus cost value of the settlement options offered.

Sue Hansen and her team were gentle, professional, efficient, and truly caring as I went through the divorce process. The Commissioner conducting my final hearing stated, “this is not a woman state, this is not a man state, this IS a kid state.” Sue and her team exuded that very important piece into all of our meetings. The level of hurt I had behind the reason for the divorce impacting my children was alleviated as best as possible through the mediation process. Excellent guidance was provided in all components of this situation. Sue and her staff were exemplary and compassionate while still aiding me through the divorce system itself. I was told by multiple people, “it will get better.” With the help of Sue, she was a big factor in making that advice true. You will not regret the help of Sue, especially if you have children.

Susan Hansen came highly recommended to me, and I can appreciate why. I was going through a difficult divorce, including considerable disputes over family assets, child placement and future monies. Sue Hansen is an excellent lawyer. She possesses all the skills one would want in a lawyer, including the ability to analyse small details, a clear communication style, and a superior level of frankness/trust. But these are not the qualities that set her apart. Sue Hansen posseses a breadth of experience that allows her to see beyond the immediate situation; she has the ability to quickly establish a context. Sue asked me to step back and re-frame my situation. Sue wanted me to 'not live in reaction to,' but rather to focus on constructing a better future for both myself and my children. After a few meetings, she was able to understand my ex spouse's motivations and approach. Sue was quick to adjust our plan when it became apparent that we were reaching a roadblock. She was continiously working to keep the process moving forward. Sue was also willing to not budge on factors that I considered to be of the highest priority; I greatly valued her steadfastness. Sue Hansen possesses this incredible gift of being comforting, but also firm with her clients. She helps her clients see what is best for all members involved. She not only was working on negotiating with my ex spouse and her legal team, but just as importantly, Sue was helping me to negotiate with my various selves-- the emotional, the analytical, the defiant, the uncertain. She helped me stay on course and never did I feel like I was involved in a hopeless battle of wills. Her philosophical approach is matched only by her outstanding strategic mind. Despite numerous challenges, Sue was able to help formulate a final agreement that was livable, fair and put my children in the best position possible. I am stepping away from one of my most heartfelt tragedies with a sense of hope for my own future and for my children. I do not believe this conclusion would have been possible with any lawyer other than Sue Hansen.

We're a nonprofit that uses subcontractors to teach workshops and provide storytelling coaching, and over the years, we've developed a good deal of intellectual property such as workshop templates and handouts. Our subcontractors also have access to things such as survey results and participant contact information, so we determined that we should have a subcontractor agreement in place. I reached out to Andrea, and after meeting with me to discuss the specifics, she drafted an agreement which we are now starting to use. She was super helpful throughout the process, answering my many questions with not just the "what" but also the "why". It's a huge relief to have this new tool that will help protect the org's proprietary information - and set clear expectations with our contractors. Highly recommend to anyone else who works with subcontractors.

Time was of the essence. I had nearly run out of hope. I literally had days to get an Attorney who could take on my rather twisted case. I had no money and the other attorneys I had spoken with either told me they did not have the expertise necessary, they did not want to touch my case with a ten foot pole, or they were asking for a lot of money immediately, which I did not have. I was referred to Dayten through other attorneys who in turn were referred by other attorneys. Dayten was my 7th try. Thank God I did not give up. Dayten listened to my case patiently and asked pertinent questions. Although my case was beyond not ordinary and I could not immediately pay him, AND we had only days to respond to the situation, Dayten took me on and ended up saving the day. He is truly one of the finest men that I know. I am in Chicago and I needed a lawyer in Wisconsin. Dayten began to work with my attorneys, who had assisted me in a bad and lengthy divorce, vacating, appeals process and then Bankruptcy. Dayten is an honorable man with great integrity and tenacity. He never gave up, even under great stress and time constraints. He offered me the absolute best advice, straight to the point, with some humor which I appreciate. He and his team are extremely professional, efficient, and courteous. Any time I had a question, no matter how out of the ordinary, Dayten was there. When I needed to rant or vent, Dayten was there. When I needed to get the job done, Dayten was there. I have the highest regard for Dayten Hanson as a man, as a human being, and as an attorney. He will be your advocate and he will be honest and he will be reasonable in his costs. He is not out to get rich, he is out to help his clients with all of his skill and expertise. My thanks always for your support and for taking me as your client. And thanks so much for helping me win. If I can ever repay the favor just give me a call, seriously. I offer you my absolute highest recommendation for Dayten. You could not do any better. Andy you will not be disappointed. He will fight for you to the ends of the earth. Anthony Chicago, Il

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?
    Ensure the lawyer has relevant experience in the specific area of law pertaining to your case.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainer fees, and any additional expenses.
  3. What potential outcomes can I expect from my case?
    While no lawyer can guarantee results, they can provide an assessment of possible scenarios based on their experience.
  4. What is your approach to handling cases like mine?
    Learn about their strategy, whether they prefer negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
  5. Who will be working on my case?
    Find out if the lawyer will handle your case personally or delegate tasks to other attorneys or paralegals.
  6. How will you communicate with me throughout the process?
    Establish expectations for updates, preferred communication methods, and response times.
  7. What is the likely timeline for resolving my case?
    Get an estimate of how long the process may take from start to finish.
  8. Do you have references from past clients?
    Testimonials or references can provide insight into the lawyer's professionalism and effectiveness.
  9. What are the strengths and weaknesses of my case?
    Understanding potential challenges helps you prepare and sets realistic expectations.
  10. Are there alternative ways to solve my legal problem?
    Discuss options like mediation, arbitration, or settlement to resolve the issue efficiently.

How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer

Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:

  1. Verify Their License:
    Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing.
  2. Experience and Specialization:
    Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case.
  3. Disciplinary Record:
    Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association.
  4. Client Reviews and Testimonials:
    Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to gauge client satisfaction.
  5. Professional Memberships:
    Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field.
  6. Awards and Recognitions:
    Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation.
  7. Consultation Assessment:
    Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns.
  8. Ask for References:
    A credible lawyer should be willing to provide references from past clients.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a lawyer, come prepared with:

  1. Relevant Documents:
    Bring all documents related to your case, such as contracts, correspondence, legal notices, court papers, or evidence.
  2. Written Summary:
    Prepare a concise written summary of your situation, including key dates, events, and involved parties.
  3. List of Questions:
    Write down any questions you have about your case, the legal process, or the lawyer's experience.
  4. Financial Information:
    If applicable, bring financial documents like pay stubs, tax returns, or bank statements.
  5. Contact Information:
    Provide details of any witnesses or other parties relevant to your case.
  6. Personal Identification:
    Bring a valid ID for verification purposes.
  7. Pen and Notebook:
    Take notes during the consultation to remember important points.
  8. Budget Constraints:

How Much Does a Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a lawyer varies widely based on several factors:

  • Fee Structures:
    • Hourly Rate:
      Lawyers may charge anywhere from $150 to $500 or more per hour, depending on experience and location.
    • Flat Fee:
      For routine legal services like drafting a will or handling an uncontested divorce, lawyers might offer a flat fee.
    • Retainer Fee:
      An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills hourly fees.
    • Contingency Fee:
      Common in personal injury cases; the lawyer receives a percentage (typically 25% to 40%) of any settlement or award.
    • Monthly Retainer:
      For ongoing services, businesses might pay a monthly fee for a set number of hours or services.
  • Factors Affecting Cost:
    • Complexity of the Case:
      More complex cases require more time and resources, increasing costs.
    • Lawyer's Experience:
      Highly experienced lawyers may charge higher fees.
    • Geographic Location:
      Legal fees can vary significantly by region or city.
    • Additional Expenses:
      Court filing fees, expert witness fees, travel expenses, and administrative costs may be extra.
  • Estimating Total Costs:
    Request a detailed fee agreement outlining all potential costs.
    Discuss any additional expenses that may arise during the case.
  • Negotiating Fees:
    Some lawyers may be willing to negotiate fees or offer payment plans, especially for clients with financial constraints.
  • Pro Bono Services:
    For those who cannot afford legal services, some lawyers or legal aid organizations offer services at reduced rates or for free.
