I endured a vicious dog attack and was immediately left wondering what I should do. I didn’t know the next steps, but what I did know, was that everything my dogs and I endured that day, was not fair. I barely had enough money to pay for the vet bill, but had to pay in order for my dog to live. I decided to contact the office of RF Wittmeyer and was immediately helped and informed of any following steps. The whole process made me feel more at ease, and made the healing process a little more comfortable. In the end, I received a settlement that I am more than happy with and would proudly recommend attorney Payne or anyone at the office of RF Wittmeyer for anyone’s who’s struggling with their next steps after a personal injury. A special shout out to Margo Stollenwerk for helping put together my case.
Thank you for everything,
Mellissa

The Law Firm of R.F. Wittmeyer, Ltd. in Arlington Heights is amazing! Under the leadership and support of Ron Wittmeyer, everyone in the office is part of a solid team and takes ownership of each individual case. Ron clearly sets a positive tone in the office of respect, empathy for the Plaintiff, good communication, and staff working effectively together.
My law case was challenging to say the least, and dealt with a slip and fall. It was challenging due to the complexity of the case, and the fact that there were several defendants. My case went all the way to the Appellate Court and was won there, overturning summary judgment. After some time, the case settled through mediation.
The Law Firm has a heart, and is clearly on the side of justice. Without question, should I need the use of a law firm in the future, I would use the Law Firm of R.F. Wittmeyer again. I have highly recommended the firm to family and friends.
I worked directly with Attorney Greg W. LaCost and Paralegal Denise Rabe. They worked tirelessly on my behalf. Their ability to persevere against all odds was incredible, and I appreciate them keeping me abreast continuously with the course of the case. Ron Wittmeyer was available and supportive throughout the case, and was also wonderful. Everyone in the office knew the case well, and were kind and understanding in working with me. I truly believe no other law firm would have done the job they did.
Thank you to everyone in the Law Firm of R. F. Wittmeyer, for the wonderful resolution of my case. I will be eternally grateful!

I had a very tuff case! I needed the very best Attorney Kenosha had to offer! As I searched the name John Caviale kept coming up. So after 3 meetings with high profile attorneys!! I just didn't feel confident, I had one more appointment set up with attorney John Caviale. From the moment I entered J.Caviales office I felt comfortable, I was treated with the utmost respect! Mr. Caviale not only gave me an hour & 1/2 of his time, he was very helpful in making sure I understood the charges I was facing! @ no point did J. Caviale try to pressure me into retaining him ASAP. All 3 earlier meetings that was the 2nd thing said after hello. Needless to say I hired John Caviale that day! As I stated earlier I had a very tuff case I was facing many years in jail & John never miss lead me or sugar coated the severity! However he worked a lot on my case always putting 110% into it. He fought my case for over 2 years, Filing several motions etc. He not only represented me in the court room, John Caviale helped me find the help I so badly needed & made sure I completed all the program's I needed. John Caviale went way over & above his call of duty. I would have to say that is what separates John Caviale from any other attorney I've seen. In closing when you hire John Caviale your not just hiring an attorney, you are hiring a caring highly intelligent very persistent well respected no nonsense attorney! I recommend John Caviale to many satisfied clients to this day!

After moving from Michigan to Wisconsin in late 2019, one of my top priorities was to revisit my Estate Planning Documents that were completed in Michigan with my family attorney there. My goal was to ensure that my documents complied with Wisconsin law.
This project was a special priority for me since my wife had passed away in March of 2019, and my intent was to locate a competent attorney who specialized in Estate Planning. So I started making telephone calls to numerous attorneys in this area listed in the Yellow Pages. I had many questions for them. Finally, I found the Frozena Law Firm. After asking the receptionist several questions, I made an appointment.
After my first appointment and having a very informative and productive meeting with Angela Frozena, who was very congenial and very knowledgeable. She briefed me regarding what additional information I must provide her, so we setup a future appointment for after I returned from vacation in Europe in three weeks.
Upon returning from Europe, I returned to Frozena Law Firm for my second appointment. At this appointment, Angela had already received the documents from my former attorney in Michigan, and had the draft of my new estate plan prepared, and sent the documents via encrypted email to my home in Racine. After reviewing the draft documents, I returned them to the firm for finalization.
At my final appointment, everything was organized and Angela had already made arrangements for the witnesses to be present. Everything went so smoothly, and I was impressed with Angela's knowledge, efficiency, sincerity and her positive attitude. Her professionalism is second to none. And along the way, Angela and I communicated via telephone and email.
I was so impressed with the courtesy and respect shown to me, that I am happy to share my experiences with Angela, and to highly recommend the Frozena Law Firm to anyone in need of competent, efficient estate planning services.

I was involved in a motor vehicle accident and was injured. I know I needed an attorney but did not know who to hire. I've seen commercials for Habush on television so I looked them up on-line. The reviews were very positive, so I decided to have them represent me. I consulted with attorney Andrew Wier and he explained how my case would be handled. From start to finish the process was excellent. I was kept informed every step of the way and eventually settled my case for more than I thought. The staff is friendly and genuinely caring. If you are in need of a personal injury attorney I highly recommend Mr. Andrew Wier.

Andrew and his paralegal were incredibly understanding, compassionate, helpful, and knowledgeable about what I should do when I called them with my accident situation. I was extremely impressed at how they persisted with difficult insurance adjusters and most importantly gave expert opinions but let you decide what is best for you. I tell everyone I know that needs a lawyer that Andrew and Habush are the only people I would go to for legal representation. He even helped me with referrals for other legal matters...

I retained Mr. Brookhouse and his staff to protect me when I was struck by a negligent driver while in my vehicle. His research of the case, fact finding, and staff support were second to none. Through a very tough period in my life, Mr. Brookhouse gave me the confidence and strength that I needed while working within the legal system. I highly recommend this attorney and his staff.

I worked with attorney Dahl last summer, and I am glad I did because she provides great services. She was kind, hard-working, gave good advice, and helped me every step of the way. Great lawyer!

When my son was born his mother refused to let me see him for the first six months of his life. The first lawyer I hired did absolutely nothing in mine or my sons best interest, so I fired her and hired Attorney Dahl. Looking back, I now know this was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. My only regret is I wish I would have done it sooner or just hired her from the beginning. Attorney Dahl always had my back; whether it was laying out exactly what the courts expectations were, to explaining the process and what I should expect, to answering my calls/texts/emails at all hours of the night just so I could vent my frustration with the situation, to offering flexible payment options, to taking a genuine interest in my case and treating me like family, to helping me get 50/50 custody of my son. Words alone can’t express how grateful I am for Attorney Dahl. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, personable, and an absolute delight to work with. With Attorney Dahl there was no beating around the bush, or making promises she couldn’t deliver, in fact she was very straightforward and blunt about what I needed to fix with myself in order to be a better person, a better father, and be able to effectively co-parent. I honestly couldn’t have done it without Attorney Dahl and am forever indebted to her. I’ve said it a million times and I’ll say it again, THANK YOU for everything Brenda, you truly are my guardian angel!!!!

I was sighted and had no hope to beat this ticket. I hired Brenda based on several good recommendations in the community. She fought very aggressively at my trial and we lost due to some politics. She then appealed the case to a higher court and we won! Thank you Brenda!

Anthony Nudo is an exceptional attorney who genuinely cares about his clients. I’ve had the pleasure of working with him on real estate law questions, business matters, and tenant/landlord issues, and his depth of knowledge has always provided me with peace of mind. He’s approachable, professional, and always goes above and beyond to ensure you understand every step of the process. What sets Anthony apart is his ability to simplify complex legal matters, making them easy to understand. His ownership of a title company is just another example of how he extends his services to cover all your needs. I highly recommend Anthony Nudo to anyone in Kenosha or Racine County looking for a trustworthy and skilled attorney.

I was very impressed with the service. I needed a prenup and Todd Terry was very helpful from the first contact on what would be involved and a general cost estimate. As we progressed through the process I was given good advice and insightful perspectives. Everything went smoothly and I was able to get in at a time that worked for me to sign. Very helpful and I didn’t have to worry at any step.

Attorney Terry Rose represented me in a business litigation case. The other party hired a large Milwaukee firm that showed little respect for our Kenosha County Courts and attorneys. After a number of hearings, the case was settled out of court and the Milwaukee firm was served a brand-new perspective on our legal system and the expertise of attorney’s Terry and Christopher Rose. Very grateful for their knowledge inside and outside the courtroom.

In 2014 I was arrested in racine for disorderly conduct or criminal damage to property or domestic abuse or fighting . I'm not sure cause it has changed depending on the situation. This after a mysterious phone call by a still unknown person that probably just was thrown out of my house for trying to plot against me for financial gain. See in 2014 I was the first geoge flyod I was assaulted in cuffs by 12 officers in racine County jail. Before even arriving to jail I didn't have any injury to my face shoulders back neck hips ...my shoes were on my feet not cut off. I was not being slammed on a wall ...lifted by my cuffed arms and legs facing down tearing both my shoulders and hips. A knee firmly planted in my neck while my legs were in the air and whn I gasped for air and struggled to breathe and told the officers I couldn't breathe ...the officer told me if I could talk I could breathe. After being offered water by a in house nurse, I was strapped to a chair and hooded much like you would see a pow after being captured and tortured. After several hours of agonizing pain I was carried limply to my cell where I remained unprocessed in due time as required by law for 3 days offered no medical assistance or a phone call. I was released on 300 dollars 4 days after the incident on what was supposedly disorderly conduct and criminal damage to property. At this point I'm unsure of what is damaged because the only thing happening whn the police arrived is me throwing out already damage property THAT BELONGS TO ME. I look to find an attorney after being not only wrongfully arrested but assaulted after. I found him at Henry law office in Kenosha for 5000 plus. After what I would call the quickest 30 mins ever to determine ones fate. I ended up pleading no contest and being charged with disorderly conduct with a domestic enhancement. I was told that because my girlfriend at the time was there even though not a single thing happened other than being shocked and having the house illegal searched and and her cornered and questioned and her going to court after still being confused as to why I was even arrested. Still was enough for a domestic enhancement according to Wisconsin and only the fact that the police showed up at all was enough for disorderly conduct. And that the jury would be constantly reminded that despite the facts of the case this is the law. And tht I should take the plea deal that I'm being given even though I have never got to make a statement the fact I was assaulted by 12 officers means nothing even though it sounds like those officers felt they were judge jury and executioner. The fact the the only property damage that occurred was to my already broken wardrobe and to property owned by me and broken by racine county police. I was in record for all of less then 30 mins throughout the months of deliberation that never changed. He insisted that he worked for racine and it would be this way and easier than a trial...however swiftly added that I should try to have it pardoned in the future because it is such a weak case. Personally racine da office called in a favor on him .....and did I mention no charges on me or the police for their action ...huh...not even mentioned one time in court either. Only a single sentence in the report indicating any action at all occupied between me and 13 officers that night. I have permanent damage from the night of Jan 18 2014. 2 torn shoulders 2 torn hips neck damage back damage face damage night terrors every night. Since thn I have had 2 disc's in my back fixed and one of 2 hips fixed and the fixed one is not doing well the police stretched out both Achilles one tore already the other could at any time. He did nothing but side with racine county and their lies and brutality towards me..he never assured me justice at all and it ultimately allowed for me to be assaulted again Nov 14 2017 ...by just as many officers in my garage under my truck .....no charges filed

What a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Do for You
A personal injury lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been physically or emotionally injured due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. Whether you've been hurt in a car accident, suffered a slip and fall, or experienced medical malpractice, a personal injury attorney works to ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries. They can help you recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related expenses.
Personal injury lawyers act as your advocate, navigating the legal system on your behalf and dealing with insurance companies to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. They understand how to handle complex legal matters and help you avoid common pitfalls.
When Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Hiring a personal injury lawyer can be beneficial in many situations where you've been harmed due to another's negligence. Some key scenarios include:
- Severe injuries: If you've suffered significant or permanent injuries that result in substantial medical bills, a lawyer can help ensure you are fairly compensated.
- Long-term or permanent disability: Injuries that affect your ability to work or require ongoing medical treatment are complex, and a lawyer can help estimate long-term damages.
- Disputed liability: If the responsible party or their insurance company denies liability for your injury, a lawyer can gather evidence and advocate on your behalf.
- Insurance company lowball offers: Insurers often try to settle personal injury claims for as little as possible. A lawyer can negotiate to get you a fair settlement.
- Medical malpractice claims: Injuries caused by a doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider due to negligence require a personal injury lawyer experienced in medical malpractice law.
- Exposure to hazardous substances: If you've been injured due to exposure to toxins, chemicals, or dangerous substances, a lawyer can help pursue legal action.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process is crucial, especially if you're unsure of the full extent of your injuries or damages.
What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?
A personal injury lawyer provides a wide range of services to guide you through the legal process and maximize your compensation. They can:
- Evaluate your case: A lawyer will assess the strength of your claim and determine whether you have a viable case.
- Investigate the incident: Gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert opinions is key to building a strong case.
- Negotiate with insurance companies: Lawyers handle communications with insurance companies to ensure you receive a fair settlement and aren't taken advantage of.
- File a lawsuit if necessary: If a fair settlement can't be reached, the lawyer can file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court.
- Help calculate damages: This includes medical expenses, lost wages, future medical needs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
- Prepare and file legal documents: Lawyers handle all the paperwork and deadlines associated with your case, including filing motions and discovery requests.
- Represent you at trial: If your case goes to trial, the lawyer will argue your case before a judge and jury to obtain the compensation you deserve.
How Are Personal Injury Lawyers Paid?
Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win your case, either through settlement or a court judgment. Here’s how it works:
- Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer will take a percentage of the settlement or award, typically between 25% and 40%, depending on the complexity of the case and the stage at which it's resolved.
- Costs and expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, the lawyer may deduct other costs associated with the case, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, and court costs. These expenses are often advanced by the lawyer and repaid out of the settlement.
- No upfront payment: Since the lawyer’s fee is contingent on winning, you usually don’t pay anything upfront.
Always discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to avoid surprises.
How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a personal injury lawyer depends on the specifics of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure. However, since most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, the amount you pay will depend on the outcome of your case. Here are some general guidelines:
- Contingency fees: Typically range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award. The percentage may increase if the case goes to trial or requires an appeal.
- Other costs: In addition to the lawyer's fee, you may be responsible for case-related expenses such as expert witness fees, medical record retrieval fees, and court costs. These are often deducted from your settlement, so you won't have to pay out of pocket.
While the cost may seem high, hiring an experienced lawyer can significantly increase the amount you recover, making it a worthwhile investment.
Top Questions to Ask a Personal Injury Lawyer
Before hiring a personal injury lawyer, it's essential to ask questions to ensure you’re choosing the right representation. Here are some important questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents. -
What is your fee structure?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award. -
How long will my case take?
While it's hard to predict, a lawyer can give you an estimate based on similar cases they’ve handled. -
How often do you take cases to trial?
Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary. -
Will you personally handle my case?
In larger firms, junior lawyers or paralegals may handle some aspects of your case, so it's important to know who will be managing your claim. -
Do you have references from past clients?
Speaking with past clients can provide valuable insight into the lawyer’s effectiveness and professionalism.
How to Check the Credibility of a Personal Injury Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a credible personal injury lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any history of disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Online platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, and Google reviews can provide insight into the lawyer's reputation and client satisfaction.
- Look at their track record: Review their experience with personal injury cases, particularly how many cases they’ve successfully resolved or taken to trial.
- Ask for references: Credible lawyers should be willing to provide references from past clients who can vouch for their work.
- Check professional memberships: Lawyers who are members of respected organizations, like the American Association for Justice (AAJ), often have a solid reputation in the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first meeting with a personal injury lawyer, prepare the following:
- Detailed account of the accident: Write down everything you remember about the incident, including dates, times, and locations. Include any witnesses or police reports if available.
- Medical records and bills: Bring any documentation of your injuries, treatments, and associated medical costs.
- Insurance information: Provide your insurance details and any communication you’ve had with the other party’s insurance company.
- Employment and income records: If your injury has impacted your ability to work, bring proof of lost wages or reduced earning capacity.
- Photos or videos: If you have photos of the accident scene, your injuries, or property damage, bring them to your consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare a list of questions to ask, including how the lawyer will handle your case and what you can expect in terms of timeline and outcome.
By preparing thoroughly for your first consultation, you’ll help the lawyer understand your case more quickly and get a better sense of your legal options.
