I had been struggling with my case for a long time, and it felt like things were only getting worse. My previous lawyer had completely mishandled everything, leaving me frustrated and unsure of what to do next. That’s when I turned to Karl Gebhard III at Englund & Associates Law Office in Baraboo, Wisconsin. It was the best decision I could have made. Karl is not only an exceptional attorney but also a genuinely kind and humble person. From our first meeting, he made me feel heard and understood. He never rushed me or treated my case like just another job—he took the time to go over every detail and explain the steps we needed to take. His calm and confident approach immediately put me at ease. What stood out most was Karl’s determination and care. He worked tirelessly to clean up the mess left by my previous lawyer, and he handled every challenge with patience and expertise. He kept me informed throughout the entire process and made sure I felt supported every step of the way. Thanks to Karl, my case is finally resolved, and I’m so grateful for the outcome. If you’re looking for an attorney who is not only highly skilled but also compassionate and approachable, Karl Gebhard III is the one to trust. I can’t thank him enough for everything he’s done for me.

Have known and worked with Jason as will as Hupy and Abraham for years. So many Personal Injury firms are nothing more then mills (all hype no actual action). Jason and the firm have always been there for all of us who ride. Not just handling PI case he and the firm have been helping the Motorcycle Rights movements for years. Be it bankrolling one of the biggest Motorcycle Awareness campaigns in the county, actually attending meetings/conferences leading his and firms knowledge. There's no way I can give hard number of Riders who have made it home to their love ones. Because of actions/work of Jason and Hupy and Abraham, S.C. sure it's in the thousands. As rider, motorcycle rights leader, grassroots lobbyist and client I will forever be indeed to great attorney and someone I happy to call Brother in the Wind.

After my crash Attorney Abraham and his team took immediate action to preserve and record evidence from the scene. The team's accident investigator came to my hospital room the next day to answer my questions and address concerns I had about how the police investigation was being handled. With that visit I was confident Attorney Abraham and his team were devoting the resources needed for my complicated crash investigation. With that weight lifted from my shoulders, I was able to just focus on the many surgeries ahead to be able to walk again. Attorney Abraham's team was great at keeping me informed with every aspect of the case walking me through everything that came up. Whenever I wanted to talk to him personally about questions my call was either taken immediately or returned the same day. During my hospitalized for three months, he and other members of my legal team would call to check how I was doing and if their were any needs or questions. When I had to give a statement or deal with insurance investigators Attorney Abraham answered all my concerns before the meetings. As well as having someone from the team present with me. I recall while in hospital struggling with how to share some disappointing information with my family. I turned to Jason for advice, he was very compassionate and treated me like a close friend, pointed out somethings I was overlooking and took the weight from my shoulders. He even offered to be present to explain things to my family and answer their questions. When it came time to settle the case he was very effective in getting more than expected using some creative legal procedures. Never was there a time that I didn't know what was going on with the case. When decisions had to be made I was always given options. When I asked for his opinion he shared it with his explanation supporting it. I refer anyone who is looking for a personal injury Attorney to him, knowing he will treat them just as I was treated.

I never thought of calling any other law firm then Hupy and Abraham after a 19 yr old man totaled my Road King and put me through 3 surgeries and ongoing pain. They have your back from day one and you can concentrate on getting better while they deal with the hassles the insurance companies hand out. Whether it's a motorcycle, car, pedestrian or another accident, Hupy and Abraham is the law firm to count on.

Mike Hupy has been an attorney for myself or my family in several issues for over the last decade. When I was hit while driving my motorcycle near his Milwaukee office, his investigator was there ensuring my safety before police arrived, getting photos of the scene, and helping me to move my wrecked bike out of traffic while we waited for the wrecker. Then he took me to my wife, and made sure I got a ride to the hospital for appropriate care. He doesn't go to this extreme for every incident, but it exemplifies the kind of car he gives to see that each and every case gets handled in the best interest of his clients. Mike is the kind of man who sees to it that there is a foundation to protect the settlement and long term interests of a client who was left with limited ability to care for himself. Mike and I share similar beliefs. When I was coordinating a campaign for the United Way, I invited Mike to come to my corporate office where he delivered an impactful explanation of why he lives a life of charity and feels compelled to personally support and provide for so many of the needs of the community. His presentation and donation helped drive a significant increase in our annual participation and contributions. But his reason explained so much more about him and all that he does. Mike participates in numerous major charity events in our region, and in ways that inspire others. His corporate tables at the MDA Black n Blue Ball are filled with people who care enough to give of themselves. He helps organizations of bikers and provides busses to help get them to the capital together to lobby for safety and rights issues that matter to them. He keeps a man on staff who advocates for motorcycle safety and rights related issues among his other duties. He helps many people and organizations who help themselves and others, and all this while maintaining a steady schedule of rights activism. When your business is "Ambulance Chasing", the world expects that you will be concerned only in lining your own pockets. But that isn't Mike. A a boy, Mike was involved in an accident that put a strain on his family. He saw the impact, and as he grew, looked for a way to help reduce the burden that such an event placed on others. As a lawyer, he made his life's work out of that simple purpose. And as a business man, he finds that a part of his own blessings should be returned to the community in which he lives and works. His family bestowed on him the moral values that compel a man to give of himself; to use and see his acts of charity as an investment in his neighbors and community, not as a handout. Mike Hupy and his team took care of my wife and I in several cases, getting settlements that helped us immensely. They provide advice and service for my motorcycle club whenever we need legal help. They have gone above and beyond in getting settlements for my family and friends when we thought there was no way to recover. And Mike is so much more than an outstanding attorney. He cares, honestly, about his clients and his community. At my office, when he gave his presentation, Mike didn't tell everybody all the things that he does, but luckily I had told them before he arrived. When they asked him why he does these things, the answer may have sounded trite without some history. But having this history, everybody knew that it was heartfelt, and honest. There was nothing left to be said when Mike told them: "it's what we are supposed to do for each other."

I cannot recommend Adam Tutaj highly enough. He is, hands-down, an excellent attorney. From the moment I started working with Adam, it was apparent he had a genuine interest in the well-being of my business. Adam provided much-needed reassurance as a new business owner facing a messy legal landscape, and his plan and suggestions quickly put me at ease. Beyond his empathetic nature, Adam is highly knowledgeable and skilled in business and healthcare law. The thorough advice and guidance he provided every step of the way is immeasurable. Adam anticipated potential issues and provided effective solutions that protected my business interests. He was responsive and communicative, keeping me informed of the status of my legal matters and answering any questions I had along the way. Thank you, Adam, for all that you do!

My close friend recommended Mr Tony, after I got in a car accident back in 2021. He’s straightforward, and won’t cut any corners. He made everything clear as possible for me to understand the process. I was about to embark on, I was so stressed after the accident, I couldn’t function. I had to reach out to him, and his meet multiple times, to help calm me down and that they did. Mr Tony I could’ve asked you for anything more than you did for me and my girls. I’m more than grateful to you and your team for working with me through my meltdowns and frustration. You won’t regret your decision choosing Mr Tony as your Lawyer. Thanks again to you and your team. Best wishes to you and yours. Happy Holidays.

I originally went searching for a lawyer that would bring a voice to my wife's pain from her accident. A voice to my anger having to take off of work to talk to the manager of Enterprise because the insurance company pulled out of their agreement for our car rental. Or the piling medical bills we began to be faced with on top of our income. I found a video bio on Anthony Skemp whom among being a lawyer was a college coach on the side. His confidence and dedication is what suggested to me a man of morals and conviction. Our journey with Anthony took more than months and the only thing I can say is you get so much more than a lawyer with Tony. Hes truly educated but also passionate of the law. Many times myself and Tony clashed over principles and philosophies however each time Anthony took the time to break down how the law actually works something as someone outside the law would not understand like myself. Honestly the man is brilliant and the fact that hes actually accessible and not some corporate attorney in New York is truly a blessing for common citizens such as myself and my wife. Would I suggest Anthony Skemp? Without hesitation. However I will warn you that the fire he brings to defend you also resonates in his devotion to uphold and work within the fabric of his professional expertise. He carries a great respect and patriotism to being a lawyer which is why I think he's never going to be a lawyer that burns out on you or your case.

My case was transferred to Noah Domnitz from my other lawyer. I’m so thankful Noah took my case. With my other lawyer I was always contacting them to see how my case was going. Noah and his team always contacted me to make sure I was never in the dark with how the case was going or what needed to be done. He was honest with me about all the details of my case and what he thought the outcome would be. He got me a great deal, and I couldn’t be happier.

I was 20 years old when I was in my car accident. I had no idea what to do or who to trust, and after suffering a concussion, the idea of a legal battle was beyond overwhelming. I chose Domnitz & Domnitz based on their reviews rather than the big ads for personal injury lawyers I had seen and I’m so glad I did. From the start, I was treated with such respect and patience. Noah made me feel confident in choosing to work with him right from the initial phone call. He was patient and clear with me, and had no issue re-explaining things since my concussion made processing fairly difficult to do. Corinne was an angel throughout the process and many times she played therapist and life coach as well. I can’t thank her enough for the kindness and patience she had. Seeing all those medical bills pile up as a young adult is super scary and she made me feel like I had things under control. She felt like so much more than just a paralegal in the process, I felt like she actually cared about me, my situation, and my well-being. Any time I had questions, she was there to answer them as best she could, or to get an answer from Noah for me. Once we got down to business, I still felt confident and secure in my legal team. Noah made sure I knew exactly what to expect during my deposition. He was upfront and didn’t beat around the bush. He told me where the weaker points in my case were and what we need to do about them. During my mediation, I whole heartedly felt like he was in my corner. He was going to bat for me no matter what, and was upfront and honest about what a trial may look like. He was very professional and luckily we were able to settle my case, and everyone walked away happy. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a lawyer. I would 100% work with them again!

So much so that I am filing a grievance with the State of Wisconsin Bar Association. The entire Groth Team was complicit in his/his team mishandling of my case. Attorney: "I can't fight two insurance companies at once" Client: "I thought that's what attorneys do, fight on behalf of their clients?" Are you going to dispute anything, ask additional questions? I am in so much pain.....I have an MRI scheduled! (tears) Attorney: "No, there is nothing I can do, your case has been dropped!"

I was referred to Frank after needing to change my family court representation mid custody case because I was very displeased with my first attorney. He was simply amazing. Very knowledgable attorney who knows how to strategize extremely well. One thing that stood out the most to me was that he was always polite to the opposing attorney and my ex despite his attorney's very rude attitude in response. His assistant Kristin is a wonderful addition as well and the two complement each other in their thoughts and approaches extremely well. I was beyond grateful that he was willing to take on my difficult case when we were already knee deep into it and he managed to assist me in getting an outcome that was beneficial, something my previous attorney was not doing. I was called to a deposition by the opposing attorney and my previous attorney did not prepare me at all and I was terrified. Fortunately the initial date had to be postponed and I had hired Frank before the new date. He and Kristin both made sure I was beyond prepared for what to expect and exactly what to do and what not to do that I was no longer nervous when the day arrived. I would absolutely recommend him, and have done so numerous times since, to anyone who has been looking for a family court attorney.

Worst Experience Ever- Horrible Law Firm - completely botched my personal injury case. Attorney Eric L. Andrews from their firm dropped the ball. So much so that I am filing a grievance with the State of Wisconsin Bar Association. The entire Groth Team was complicit in his/his team mishandling of my case. Attorney: "I can't fight two insurance companies at once" Client: "I thought that's what attorneys do, fight on behalf of their clients?" Are you going to dispute anything, ask additional questions? I am in so much pain.....I have an MRI scheduled! (tears) Attorney: "No, there is nothing I can do, your case has been dropped!" Dark despair - and then I was sent this check to add insult to literal injury

I will happily co-counsel and refer cases to Attorney Studinski because I know he will not only obtain an excellent result, but he will make clear throughout the process how much he cares about each client's case.

On behalf of my father and the rest of my family I want to give a huge Thank You to the Studinski Law firm team! My father was involved in an serious accident earlier this year. I reached out to Jason and his team for help with handling my fathers personal injury case. They took care of everything for us and we couldn't be any more grateful. They worked very hard and incredibly fast to help settle my fathers case. Jason and his team were very professional and personable. They reached out often and helped guide us through these challenging times. My dad is proud to call Jason a friend. If anyone reading this review is looking for someone to help them with an injury case I strongly recommend giving Studinski Law a call.

After a rear end accident I was hounded a couple times a week from the other insurance company to settle. I said my car is in the shop and was for over 2 months and I am in so much pain and going to a chiropractor and a physical therapist weekly and until all this is fixed I will not settle. Nothing I said deterred them from continuing to hound me to settle. I felt intimidated by them and they had me worried so I knew I needed an attorney. I called Habush Habush and Rottier because they had a great reputation. I got in that week for an appointment to see if they would take my case. I was lucky enough to be greeted by Ed Vopal an attorney at the firm. He was a very mild mannered person who was very caring calming in his questioning of me about the accident and that is exactly what I needed. I left our first meeting feeling safe and secure knowing I was going taken care of. Ed worked very hard on my case and had a huge binder of paperwork involving the accident. He was wonderful on his preparing me for a deposition with the attorneys from the other insurance company and kept me calm in my answers. I could go on and on about Ed but all his office staff was just as wonder always so warm and friendly in their calls to me or when I was in the office. They are a great team. I will forever be grateful to Ed and his staff for all they did and the settlement I received and would highly recommend Ed to anyone looking for a great attorney to represent them.

What a Wrongful Death Lawyer Can Do for You

A wrongful death lawyer specializes in representing families who have lost a loved one due to the negligent, reckless, or intentional actions of another person or entity. These lawyers help families seek compensation for the emotional and financial losses associated with the untimely death of a loved one, including medical bills, funeral expenses, lost income, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering. Wrongful death claims can arise from various situations, including car accidents, medical malpractice, workplace accidents, and criminal actions.

If you have lost a family member due to someone else’s wrongful actions, a wrongful death lawyer can help you navigate the legal process and pursue justice on behalf of your loved one.

When Should I Hire a Wrongful Death Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a wrongful death lawyer if a loved one has died as a result of someone else’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional harm. Some common reasons to hire a wrongful death lawyer include:

  • Car accidents: If a loved one was killed in a car, truck, or motorcycle accident caused by another driver’s negligence (e.g., reckless driving, DUI, or distracted driving), a lawyer can help you file a wrongful death claim.
  • Medical malpractice: If a loved one died due to medical negligence, such as a misdiagnosis, surgical error, or medication mistake, a wrongful death lawyer can help you pursue compensation from the healthcare provider.
  • Workplace accidents: If your loved one died in a workplace accident or due to unsafe working conditions, you may be entitled to compensation from the employer or third parties responsible for the unsafe conditions.
  • Defective products: If a defective product caused your loved one’s death, a lawyer can help you file a wrongful death claim against the manufacturer or distributor of the product.
  • Criminal actions: If your loved one was the victim of a criminal act, such as homicide or assault, a wrongful death lawyer can help you pursue a civil claim for damages, even if a criminal case is also ongoing.
  • Nursing home negligence: If an elderly loved one died due to neglect or abuse in a nursing home, a lawyer can help you hold the facility accountable for their wrongful actions.

Hiring a wrongful death lawyer soon after the incident ensures that important evidence is preserved and that you can meet any legal deadlines for filing a claim.

What Does a Wrongful Death Lawyer Do?

A wrongful death lawyer provides a wide range of services to help families navigate the legal complexities of a wrongful death claim and seek compensation for their losses. Their responsibilities often include:

  • Investigating the death: Conducting a thorough investigation of the circumstances leading to your loved one’s death, gathering evidence such as medical records, accident reports, and witness statements.
  • Establishing liability: Identifying who is legally responsible for your loved one’s death, whether it’s an individual, company, or government entity, and building a case showing how their negligence or wrongful actions caused the death.
  • Calculating damages: Helping you determine the full extent of your financial and emotional losses, including funeral expenses, medical bills, lost income, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering.
  • Filing a wrongful death claim: Preparing and filing the necessary legal documents to initiate a wrongful death lawsuit within the statute of limitations in your state.
  • Negotiating settlements: Working with the responsible party’s insurance company or legal team to negotiate a fair settlement for your losses.
  • Representing you in court: If a settlement cannot be reached, representing you in court by presenting evidence and making legal arguments to support your case.
  • Handling legal deadlines: Ensuring that all legal filings are completed within the deadlines set by your state’s statute of limitations for wrongful death cases.

How Are Wrongful Death Lawyers Paid?

Wrongful death lawyers typically work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle the case. Here’s how it generally works:

  • Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is usually a percentage of the total settlement or damages awarded, typically ranging from 25% to 40%. You won’t have to pay any upfront fees, and the lawyer only gets paid if they successfully recover compensation for you.
  • No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer does not win or settle your case, you generally won’t owe them any legal fees.
  • Case expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, you may also be responsible for reimbursing the lawyer for case-related expenses, such as court costs, expert witness fees, and investigation costs. These expenses are typically deducted from the settlement or award.

It’s essential to discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to ensure you understand how much you will owe if your case is successful.

How Much Does a Wrongful Death Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a wrongful death lawyer is usually based on a contingency fee structure, meaning you only pay if the lawyer recovers compensation for you. General cost estimates include:

  • Contingency fee percentage: Most wrongful death lawyers charge between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or court award. For example, if you receive a $500,000 settlement and the lawyer’s fee is 33%, the lawyer would receive $165,000, and you would keep the remaining $335,000.
  • Case expenses: In addition to the lawyer’s fee, expenses such as court costs, expert witness fees, and investigation costs may be deducted from the settlement or award. These expenses can range from $5,000 to $50,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case.

Make sure to ask your lawyer for a clear explanation of their fees and case-related expenses before proceeding with your wrongful death claim.

Top Questions to Ask a Wrongful Death Lawyer

Before hiring a wrongful death lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they have the experience and resources to handle your case. Key questions to ask include:

  1. What experience do you have with wrongful death cases?
    Ensure the lawyer has successfully handled cases similar to yours, whether it’s medical malpractice, car accidents, or workplace deaths.
  2. How do you charge for your services?
    Clarify the lawyer’s contingency fee percentage and any additional costs, such as case expenses, that you may be responsible for.
  3. What is the likelihood of success in my case?
    Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case and any potential challenges that could affect the outcome.
  4. How long will the process take?
    Wrongful death cases can take time to resolve, so ask how long the lawyer expects the process to last, from filing the claim to reaching a settlement or going to trial.
  5. Will you handle my case personally?
    In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of the case. Make sure you know who will be managing your case and representing you in court.
  6. What types of damages can I recover?
    Ask the lawyer to explain the types of compensation you may be entitled to, such as medical bills, funeral expenses, loss of income, and emotional suffering.

How to Check the Credibility of a Wrongful Death Lawyer

To ensure you are hiring a reputable wrongful death lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:

  • Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary actions.
  • Look for wrongful death experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in wrongful death cases and have successfully handled cases like yours.
  • Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
  • Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on wrongful death cases.
  • Check for certifications or memberships: Membership in organizations like the American Association for Justice (AAJ) or local bar associations can indicate the lawyer’s dedication to wrongful death and personal injury law.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To get the most out of your first consultation with a wrongful death lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:

  • Death certificate: Bring a copy of your loved one’s death certificate, as this is a key document in wrongful death cases.
  • Medical records: If applicable, bring your loved one’s medical records, autopsy reports, or any documentation of their medical care leading up to their death.
  • Accident or incident reports: If the wrongful death resulted from an accident, bring any police reports, accident reports, or workplace incident reports.
  • Financial records: Provide documentation of your loved one’s income, benefits, and financial contributions to the family to help calculate economic damages.
