I would highly recommend Justin and his team. They were able to get a sizable medical bill which was denied by my health insurance company, reconsidered and paid in full. If it wasn’t for Justin and his team’s assistance and perseverance with this matter, it would have not been resolved.

Wallace Law went above and beyond to do the right thing and hold the insurance company accountable, which ended favorably for our family. While other organizations did not want to look at the case due to it complex nature, we were relieved Wallace Law was confident to take the case. We would highly recommend.

After over a year of fighting with my insurance company about unpaid damages owed to me I was lucky enough to be referred to Wallace Law. I provided some photos and Justin Wallace and his team took care of everything. Very fortunate to have them on my side.

I was facing a DUI, which could have cost me my job. Dennis and his team were outstanding—they managed to get the charge reduced to reckless driving. He’s the real deal and will fight for you.

First, I need to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to Casey and his team for all their hard work on my case. I genuinely believe he’s passionate about all his clients going above and beyond. My case was no different. He was incredible in helping me defend against unbelievable false accusations. The first time I came to his office I was still in shock as to the series of events that led up to the claims and with legitimate fears for my freedom. He took the time to listen to me and with compassion gave me a level of reassurance I needed. I believe with the utmost sincerity that his dedication, hard work, and thoroughness to cover all the bases and explore every possible resource has played an integral part in the outcome of this case. My innocence needed to be brought to light, and you did just that. Masterfully and with professionalism, integrity, intensity, and grace. Thank you for all you've done for my family and I.
A++ could not recommend a better criminal defense lawyer in Sheboygan and surrounding areas.

From the very first meeting, Casey was very diligent in learning about my case and finding a solution. Over a 9 month period, he was great about communicating next steps and helping me through the process. Ultimately, my case was entirely dismissed, which is not common for an OWI case. I would highly recommend Casey!

Attorney Basler represented me in a custody/placement case for daughter. From the very first conversation I had with Todd he assured me he would fight for what was right, and if that wasn’t in my favor, he wouldn’t represent me. I appreciated his integrity and respected his straightforward candor.
Thankfully Todd always believed that what was in my child’s best interest was being placed primarily with me and he kept his word and fought for what was right.
He was prepared and calculated in all his legal presentings and he made me feel confident that I would be treated fairly in a court I feared may never place a young child with her father vs her mother.
I am so grateful that Attorney Basler was so knowledgeable and well respected in the Sheboygan County Courthouse. It spoke volumes to them the he was honored to represent me and that made me feel like I had made the right choice.
I will always recommend Attorney Basler to anyone who is fighting for what is right because that is exactly what he does.

Attorney Basler was recommended to me and shepherded me through a divroce. My divorce was lengthy and my ex wife tried to throw about everything she could at me. Attorney Basler was excellent in assisting in response and always stressed the long game. He was right, and in the end, his advice proved very correct and I ended up getting the better of my ex wife.
We never got to trial, thanks largely to Attorney Basler's work, thank heavens. Attorney Basler navigated the opposing attorney's legal onslaught excellently and through his and his assistant's professionalism, made opposing counsel and her firm look bush league.
In summary, extreme professionalism, mastery navigaton of tactics, and though it thankfully never came to it, I think Attorney Basler would have owned opposing council in a trial. Highly recommended.

A friend recommended Sarvan to me after he hired him and Sarvan was able to get his OWI dropped. My case was very different but he worked with me, was patient and after 2 years and many delays, he was able to get my case lowered to a ticket(kind of). I feel so lucky to have hired him and was able to get my record cleared. I'd recommend him to anyone who needs help. He is great at what he does. Worth every dime! :)

I am an IL resident and received a speeding ticket in WI. I was referred to Matt through my local attorney and I could not be more satisfied with the service I received. Matt is friendly, professional, and most importantly very thorough with his communication. At no point was I left wondering about my case or Matt's ability to resolve it. I hope to never need his services again, but if I do, I know I'll be in good hands.

Kirk Obear gave me my life back. I was accused by my ex of heinous acts that I didn’t commit, and the city of Sheboygan charged me with zero evidence that I did anything. Kirk took my case and was a Godsend. We went to jury trial and he completely obliterated the prosecution and won. It was amazing watching him do what he obviously takes great pride in. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to defend me, and I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you to Kirk and his team for giving me my life back!

End of the year in 2019 and I was facing 2 felony charges for something that never even happened. I was scared that something like this could happen, even though there was no evidence whatsoever. From the get-go Kirk tried to get the charges dropped for various reasons, but the prosecutor apparently had a big ego or something to try and prove. These charges should have been dropped from the beginning and Kirk knew this. Anyways a full year later (mostly due to COVID) I finally make it to jury trial and Kirk "gave it to them" in the court room. Not once did he stumble. He was FULLY prepared to show them what a waste of time and tax payers money that was used to fight this. Needless to say the jury was in agreement and I was found "Not Guilty".

Out of nowhere i was hit with some felonies facing up to 35 years. Never being in trouble before i was terrified of what was going to happen. I met with at a lot of different firms but none made me feel as safe as Kirk's. From the start he explained everything with extreme detail. Kirk and his team were very thorough through thebwhole process and even got one of my charges dropped. When everything was set and done i got probation and i get to keep my life on track. I could easily say kirk saved my life

5 stars - Brett listened and never sugarcoat anything. He was up front about everything and explained everything to me to help me understand the next step and phases that were going to happen. My husband was charged for 2 counts of felony possession of firearms. In which he could face up to 20 years in prison. As a mother of 3 small children I was under so much stressed. Brett helped me figure things out and was so understanding. Brett was able to get the charges dismissed and got my husband released from jail within hours of the preliminary hearing. I am so grateful for Brett to be able to get my husband release and home with me and my 3 young childrens. I would highly recommend him. He did not judge us, willing to work with us and really down to earth and great guy to have on your side. Thanks Brett for what you were able to give back to me.

Initially, I was a little nervous around attorney Kaehne, however after the second consultation and meeting, I found Brett to be someone who knows his business, extremely brilliant, caring and passionate about what he does for his clients.
Brett is extremely interesting and just one hell of a person to communicate with. I was on board in no time!
Thank You Sir!

I could not be happier with the representation Attorney Kaehne provided. He is professional, understanding, informative, intelligent and was very attentive to our needs. Everyone I encountered in their law office was a pleasure to work with. He is easy to talk to and will quickly earn your trust. Attorney Kaehne has been the best (by far) attorney I have ever met. If you are in need of someone to fight for your rights, call Attorney Kaehne.
~Thank you for all you have done.

Stephanie Rock was hands down the best attorney that I've ever had the privilege to hire. From first contact until we won our case, she was fully committed. I never had a doubt that I was in good hands. Ms. Rock went way above and beyond to ensure that my needs were taken care of. She drove a long ways several time to come meet me when I was unable to drive. She made regular calls to me to make sure that we were on the same page and that I was comfortable with what was going on, and took the time to explain things in a kind manner when I was naturally very nervous about everything. I legitimately can't even think of how she, or anyone else, could have done a better job. Then, when it came time for the court appearances, she fought for me. Stephanie made sure that our points were heard and excellently countered everything that the D.A. tried to do against me. If you are serious about your rights and your freedom, you will hire Stephanie M Rock. I am very glad that I did.

Stephanie did an amazing job representing me throughout my whole case, she always kept me in the loop of what is going and and whatever evidence that was sent to her she sent to me. She was always up front and honest of how things were going or looking and when it came time to challenge the accusing party she stepped up, being very knowledgeable and straight forward. I walked out with my charges dropped!

Mr. Mayer is a very good lawyer. He worked with me as co-counsel when I represented a client in a commercial real estate lawsuit in Sheboygan County. Although initially hired as local counsel, to assist in preparation and filing of documents with the court, he assumed a much larger and more important role as the case proceeded. He soon demonstrated his knowledge of real estate law and of foreclosure proceedings, along with a sharp eye for spotting issues, and a shrewd grasp of litigation strategy. His contribution was tremendous at every stage of the proceeding, from writing motions and briefs, to active participation in the trial. Peter is smart man, and a dependable lawyer. I would not hesitate to work with him again if the opportunity were to arise.

Peter read a land contract for me. He accepted me as a client even though I was in another state (my mom used his services in the past). He was always very prompt to return my email. Peter was very thorough and went into great detail on the property that I purchased. He reviewed numerous documents (easements, county parcel descriptions, etc.) that I would not have thought to review. I am happy that Peter read the land contract for me and looked over the property. It was a big relief that the property and contract were free of problems. I would hire Peter again if I needed similar legal services, and I would give him a favorable recommendation.

He even sent us all the necessary info needed for what to do after the bankruptcy was finished. From the beginning he was ethical trustworthy and very competent.

Bill represented my sister and I following the death of my mother in a no-fault automobile accident of which I was a passenger and her the driver. On a contingency basis, Bill pursued our case against a large insurance company for damages owed in respect to this accident. Our case was rejected through appeals and Bill offered to submit the case to the Wisconsin State Supreme Court for review. The Justices there found merit in the case and agreed to hear arguments. Bill successfully argued our case there after approximately 6 years of litigation.
Clearly Bill is a first-class litigator and brought some closure to what had been, because of a slow legal system, a long, drawn-out and emotionally trying process. He and his staff were continually responsive to questions and concerns that my sister and I shared. He was, upon prompting, willing to simplify more confusing and/or technical aspects of our case and its journey through the state legal system. He also seemed to work on a very professional basis with another excellent lawyer representing me in a related matter. Not only did he provide quality service throughout the entire process, but he also provided appreciated and important advice to us following the resolution of our case even though he had no obligation to do this.

Lisa Stengel was the best decision we could have made when choosing a local attorney to help us navigate through a very complicated and emotional family court situation. She was very helpful throughout the entire process, listening, asking us questions, and advocating for us. She listened to our history, issues, and concerns with attentiveness and interest. She helped us to understand what to expect during every stage of the process as it evolved and unfolded. She always answered our questions between meetings with prompt and helpful responses. Whether in her office or the court room, she was always professionally dressed and mannered, punctual, and well prepared. She guided us with compassion and respect and reminded us that no matter how tough the process got (which it did at times challenge our emotional strength and endurance), to never lose sight of why we were there. Lisa is a mother herself and therefore, possesses that ingrained understanding of parental relationships and family dynamics, but she also brings forth a wisdom that I assume can only come from many years of dedicated work experience. Lawyers are regular people too, and therefore, there exists all kinds. There are certainly stereotypical "sharky", "dirty" lawyers that exist in the field, but it is not true that you need on of those to win your case. Sometimes you just need a wise, educated, assertive, and articulate person to advocate for you and help you fight for family justice. I would highly recommend anyone looking to hire a dependable, professional, respectable, experienced lawyer, to call Lisa Stengel.

As the title suggests my kids are home. When I first met Lisa I had made a terrible mistake and had signed a temporary custody agreement and let my ex take our kids out of the house and county already. This put me in a very bad position once I realized that things were not going to go as well as I had hoped. Lisa was recommended by our family attorney and others to whom I had enquired. Lisa helped my family and I through a two year long heavily contested divorce and custody battle. During the last two years I had been investigated numerous times by Social Services and had false allegations made agenced me to the police not only by my ex but also my kids. Parental alienation was a huge Factor in my case and was very hard to prove to the guardian ad litem however by the end everything was made clear to the guardian ad litem and the judge. Fighting a custody battle as a father is already a uphill battle and I truly believe I would not have my kids home today if it were not for her. During the three days in court I got to see the differences between a skilled and knowledgeable attorney and one that was not so much. Lisa was very organized and cross-examinations were very well thought out. She will continue to be my go-to person for any issues regarding family law.

Mr. Darrow is easily one of the worst attorneys I have ever dealt with. Very unresponsive and inattentive to needs. Did not share direction or strategy with me as a client. Even resorted to name calling when I expressed my dislike for his performance. Bills for hours of busy work that has no effect on the case. I would avoid this firm at all costs.
Their responses to reviews also constitutes lible showing he has no respect for his clients

Attorney Darrow is absolutely the best trial lawyer I ever observed in action. I watched him skillfully exam and cross exam witnesses. He knows how to ask questions and present a winning case. At trial he was extremely organized and well prepared. His team behind the scenes put together the facts and details, nothing was left to chance. The one thing I was concerned about was my dad and his lack of understanding of the legal process of divorce, but attorney Darrow was compassionate and helpful to him, I can not be more pleased! I live far away from my father, and when I contacted his team, they were so prompt and honest in answering all of my questions.

This lawyer represented a property owner. The property in question was a 3 car garage with attached office space. After renting said space for my landscaping company, I was told by the owner that I would be "Self Help Evicted". In the state of Wisconsin this is illegal. Besides there was no issue(s) present and rent was paid on the first or before every month. My entire company property (trailer, work benches, tools, equipment, 2 full offices, and much much more) was relocated, without my consent, 20 miles away. When I contacted police, they informed me that Basil had informed them that this was a legal eviction and that because I did not have an attorney it was a civil matter. (Clearly local police failed to protect ans serve as well) Over the next 3 months the property owner refused to contact me and informed me that I would need to speak to his counsel (Basil). Basil informed me that the property was not zoned correctly for the use I was using it for. I learned this was far from the truth. The building was built zoned UC (urban commercial) I was then told that I legally had to pay the rent for my items new location, moving costs, and other fees to get my property back. I learned that what he was asking was just as illegal as the property being moved without court proceedings in the first place. I was then accused of missing a months payment, justifying the relocation. I showed proof of payment and deposit, while also presenting the small fact that even if rent was missed or late, the possessions in question was taken in the first week of the month, not long enough to take ANY legal action let alone remove the property. I was then told that because there was never a contract for lease or rent, that I was trespassing for months. After presenting Basil with a singed contract between the property owner and myself, I was told it was forged. After a week of refusing to meet, speak, or respond to emails, I got a short email stating an address of where my property was and that I need to pick up my belonging as soon as possible...
