I have worked with Max on multiple occasions and every time he has responded quickly, explained things clearly and made 100% sure that the documents stated exactly what I intended them to state. He has (and will continue to be) great to work with! I highly recommend.

After a very traumatic car accident, I reached out to Bye, Goff and Rhode. Dean Rhode took my case and for the next 18 months fought for me. He helped me through the process and made sure my questions were answered. Laura and Judy we're also very helpful and supportive during what was the most stressful time in my life. I highly recommend this firm.

My situation was a slip and fall at the apartment complex I lived in. At first the company whom ran the apartment complex refused to do anything. So, I went to renters’ right’s and they would not take a slip and fall case. I was actually told the answer was to move. This took me back for a moment, but did not stop me. I did some more research and found the place I needed to write my concern was the “Department of Agriculture”.
After the letter the company then emailed me to have the bills sent to the insurance company. By this time approximately a year and a half passed since the slip and fall and the bill was still not being taken care of.
I knew renter’s rights was not going to help and trying to find a lawyer who would take my case was very slim. I called many lawyers and was turned away because of how much time had passed and a slip and fall is difficult to prove in Wisconsin.
I must say I was very discouraged and felt hopeless. Being I felt a wrong needed to be addressed, I kept looking for a lawyer.
So, by chance I called “Bye|Goff|Rohde” and after talking to Brian about my slip and fall. He took my case A Year and a half later. In the end it was a victory!
Afterwards I asked Brian why he took my case. His said it was because of what I said.
Bye the way, the slip and fall happened in 2018 and the settlement happened in 2022.

Brian is an excellent lawyer. Even the judge at the end of the trial told the jury they had “witnessed very good lawyering.” Brian presents with maturity and surety that seem to far exceed his years. I really respect the way he used his talent and coupled it with a competitive nature to get results and yet at the same time always showed genuine concern, consideration of my opinions, and patience with me during the entire process. Going to trial is nobody’s desire, but when I took the stand, Brian made it very easy for me to say the truth. I felt assured by his command of all the details and I truly appreciated his best efforts. Making that phone call to Bye, Goff, and Rhode was one of the best decisions. I would highly recommend Brian and I want to thank him and his staff. The results speak for themselves!!

I retained Mr Miller after going through two previous attorneys and a considerable amount time and money. I found Steve to be a highly skilled, motivated, pleasant, and honest man. While he took my case on an hourly basis the cost of his representation was more than fair due to his experience and knowledge. I had no problem with access to him or information when required. I personally feel that he gives a client the best chance of a positive outcome ,he is a straight shooter,and l would not hesitate to use his services again.

I brought two appellate matters to Attorney Miller. I found him to be extremely knowledgeable, and he was always prompt in getting back to me and explaining the process. Attorney Miller sorted through the legal issues with ease, and presented clear, succinct, compelling briefs on my behalf that exceeded my expectations and helped me win both matters. I would highly recommend Attorney Miller.

Steve's appellate work helped us win our six year lawsuit. Steve's ability to grasp the facts of our case and present it to the court, allowed us to recoup tens of thousands of dollars. We truly appreciated Steve's abilities as an attorney, but more than that, we found him to be a man if integrity.
We would highly recommend Steve to anyone.

Jeremiah was an amazing lawyer. I came to him with a very complex case and he was able to look at the case from many different angles. He found ways we could challenge different aspects in order to lessen the charges. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He truly cares about his clients and he pulls long hours and fights hard for every single one of his clients. He is also well respected by the courts and has a great reputation.

I was Jeremiah's 3rd Client ever, For a misdemeanor level case in Polk County, WI. After taking in all the angles, Jeremiah challenged the entire charge. He fought as hard as he could for me. On October 31st, 2012 I informed him of a Child custody hearing that was going to be held the very next morning. He volunteered his time to my family and again relentlessly learned the family law in MN while working overtime to ensure that we put up our very best fight. I asked why, he simply told me because of the bible. I would recommend him to represent anyone. In fact he is about to be asked about three pending felony charges that we need the best of the best to ensure we recieve a fair and civil trial.

I had issues with my newly purchased home, and with the previous home owners/realtor. Therefore I needed someone to help me. I hired Rory, and I highly recommend. He asked me all the right questions, his assistants were pleasant to work with, he used his time wisely with MY MONEY. He sent me biweekly statements, I knew exactly how much money I was using up. Which was helpful for me. He was stern enough with the other lawyers and did everything in a timely matter. He was knowledgeable and thoroughly answered my questions, as anything with laws/regulations are very foreign to me. I appreciate his help, and I recommend him. Thank you Rory and team!

Attorney Robert Parsons and his Staff were caring, well educated, down to earth people who did their research and kept me updated on the case progress. They eased the burden of worry and covered even the smallest of details. A generous settlement was reached without the need to go to trial. I felt treated as a family member not a client. I recommend Attorney Parsons to anyone in need of representation. I hope I am never in need of an attorney, but if I am?, Our paths will cross again my friend.

We hired Bob with Bye, Goff & Rhode after we were not getting any help from our own insurance company nor from the insurance company of the person that hit me. The injury I received from the accident was extreme and changed by lifestyle and my ability to perform the work I did in my business. Bob understood these difficulties and helped us through the process. We told Bob at the beginning that we would do what he felt was best and we told him we would follow it through until the end. He was very helpful and always available. He kept us informed and walked us through each step. We had a successful outcome and we were very happy with how Bob got us to that outcome. We would use him again and would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing an attorney for this type of lawsuit.

I was very hesitant in hiring a lawyer for my car accident case but things became so overwhelming I knew I couldn't handle it alone. I called around and talked with a few different lawyers and just didn't feel like they were really listening to me. Tracy was different; from our very first phone conversation I felt he was truly on my side and would be able to help me. He was very straight forward and I knew I could contact him any time with questions or concerns (and I did a LOT). Him and his staff are truly amazing! Tracy really took the burden off of me so I could focus on other things. Always quick to respond, very well organized and professional but he definitely has a big heart and fights for what is right. If you need a lawyer, Tracy is your guy!

Tracy stood by my side, representing me in my auto accident case for approximately 1.5 years. I tend to refer to him as my "guardian angel". He and his team were extremely supportive and always kept me informed via emails, phone calls, or letters regarding the status of my case. We had an extremely successful outcome, and I don't think it would have been that way with any other attorney.

Mr. Goff is an awesome attorney. At no time during our case did I feel down or left out of anything that was going on. Steve was great at communicating with me, keeping me informed of all the proceedings, the ins and outs of our case as well as letting me know what was going to happen next. Steve Goff also kept an even keel on any possible results. At no time did he promise me anything that he couldn't deliver on. The self assurance he possess is a very postive trait, one that anyone would want in an attorney. His physical presence, the way he carries himself, his knowledge of legal system, would leave any client feeling very confident and comfortable. I, at all times was optimistic in his abilities and knowledge of what we were trying to accomplish as a team...and we did!!!!!! I would recommend Steve Goff to anybody who is looking for an intelligent and trustworthy lawyer....and I have!

Allyson was very informative about everything she did for me. I knew what to expect most every step of the way. I was very hesitant to use her because of her age and her being a newer lawyer, but to my pleasant surprise she was great. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a lawyer that is reasonably priced. I also had her to complete my parents Will shortly after using her for by business and it was under 300 dollars. When me and my husband did ours previously with another attorney we paid $1,800. It's nice to know there are good quality lawyers for a reasonable price.

I had been working with another Attorney. I was getting no support, engagement or action. I fired that Atty and retained Mr. Loso. This was the best move I made! He listened to me, did tons of background work for me and was so professional and compassionate when it came to my case. After watching him in court, I realized it didn't matter whether or I won or lost. He is a man of high integrity, very trustworthy AND knows his stuff. The result - WE won! It was reversed.

Over the 5+ years it took to resolve our minor personal injury case, we found Mr. Pletcher to be docile, indifferent and uncommunicative. He showed no initiative on our behalf. In depositions he was passive at best, quietly allowing us to be bullied by opposing counsel and, later and privately, expressing outrage over such behavior. We felt largely ignored, “out-lawyered”, and poorly represented throughout our relationship. We eventually settled through arbitration, due more to the arbitrator than our attorney. Kenneth might be ok for routine paperwork, but I would never recommend him for potential trial work.

My case has been dragging for over a year and is still not over because I had to hire another lawyer.

I hired attorney Joel Larimore to help me battle very serious charges. My case just finished up after almost a year and he was able to get me a great deal where the most serious charge (felony) was dropped and the other 2 are dismissed after awhile. He got me a deal before this one that was even better (all charges dropped to country ordinance, ex. littering), but the judge rejected the deal. Not the attorneys fault. He fought for me to get me the best deal possible and without him my career and future would be over. Will forever be grateful to him and do not listen to any of the bad reviews about him.
The only complaint I had was he is not very good at communication, often leaving your message unanswered for weeks at a time. I have come to learn that silence from him means he is working very hard in the background and waiting for solid information before telling me. Nothing to worry about. Will 100% hire him again if I find myself needing an attorney.

This lawyer only follows her own beliefs, and wants money. Rather than what is really best for the child, she instantly assums 50/50 is best for a child without considering the history over the last three years as my child continues to be taken care of by someone else rather than my sons other parent. Now my child is sick constantly from smoke and who knows what else. Now as a low income parent, I have to fight to save money just to make it right and what makes more realistic scenario for my child and his health.

Ms. Weber was my attorney during my divorce. I found her to be extremely professional and knowledgeable. Many times the clients expectations for an unlikely outcome are nurtured through their lawyer. One of the things I liked about Julie Weber was her honesty. She never led me to believe that things were going to end up a certain way just because I wanted them to. I would recommend her.
