Margery has helped me all the way through in my case! I got exactly what I needed. She is very professional and very reliable! If I ever need legal help again I’m calling Margery!

Margery is very knowledgeable when it concerns divorce proceedings. Along with keeping you upated on progression of your case. Give her a call.

she didnt even know what was going on in court. she told me one thing left court and I got a call from a family member saying the court was trying to take my daughter from me and place her with the other parent. so I called Margery and she acted as if she had no clue and wouldn't do anything about it then sent me a bill for things she never did.

We thought she would work hard for us in our quest for reasonable visitation but when the opposing attorney started to protest, Ms Wakefield did nothing and she closed the case and sent a bill. If you just need an attorney for paperwork, she is okay but she won’t fight for her clients.

I feel so strongly about this. Just praying the public will read my words and take heed. This was most horrific experience of my life, 15 months in process. There was no trial brief filed, at least 75 unanswered phone calls, all documented, so many requests for discovery( ex was self employed) so many Xs requested deposition, excuses found to be lies, no trial brief, nor final financial disclosure ever filed. She even had complaints to the court from the petitioners' attorney regarding her unresponsiveness and failure to complete required documents. Her familial, social and civic activities were obviously her priorities. She should never have been allowed the luxury of being unaccountable. Her performance is an insult to her profession. I am 65, wasted 15 months with no family, experiencing severe depression and spending thousands of dollars I didnt have. Finally, I inadvertently discovered a thread on her e mails, confirming what I had suspected all along. A wonderful kudos to my sister, my pain management group and especially my counselor, for their patience in allowing me to vent. (I had no control and soon became a broken record. I finally decided to retain another attorney, whom she told me initially during the process of finding an attorney, was known to be denigrating and disrespectful to women in the courtroom. (completely untrue). I became divorced.. 3 months from beginning to end. Unfortunately, I have heard this has happened to many other people in the community. I will Do whatever I can to prevent this from ever occurring again! Please don't ever retain her services, you will be so regretful!

made me feel very comfortable and explained the process well

I had a wonderful experience working with Margery. She works diligently and with a sense of urgency. She really listens to what her client has to say and fights hard and efficiently to get the justice you deserve. She's upfront and honest, yet approachable and easy to talk to. She is flexible and when I had an emergency situation, she dropped everything to help save what could have been a very dangerous situation for my son. She works with passion and understanding. She has a level head and really thinks things through. There's no one that I would rather have advocate for my son and my family than Margery. She will give your case every ounce of effort she has, plus more than you'd think she had left in her. She is timely on getting back to you with phone calls. She explains things in a way that anyone can understand and is well respected in the court room. If you want justice at a fair price and someone who will actually submerse themselves in your case and treat you like family, this is who you have been searching for. I would recommend her services to everyone. I've never been so satisfied with the amazing service I received. Margery is professional and always on top of her game. Looking for someone who cares and will make your needs feel important? You've found a compassionate and knowledgeable attorney in Margery Tibbetts Wakefield. Thank you.

I was looking for an attorney that would help me obtain a restraining order for domestic abuse and to help me with custody/placement issues with my children. I needed someone who is strong, informative, and dedicated. Someone who understood the situation and knew what the best plan of action would be. I needed someone who is great to work with, keeps in contact, and does what is best for my children and me. Someone who would work productively and effectively to get done what needed to be done and more. I contacted Margery at her Janesville office and believed she is everything I need in an attorney. She is very poise and proper with a great attitude. She is very honest and will tell me exactly what she thinks would be best. She answers every question I ever ask in a very timely manner. She is very organized and goes above and beyond to make sure I have everything I need. She is very professional every time I talk to her. And most importantly, in the court room. I have seen some pretty heated moments unfold in the courtroom and she holds her poise and gets her point across very professionally in a strong yet calming manner. Something that really makes me confident in her is the fact that she knows me. She doesn't treat me like just another person. She remembers every detail about my case and really takes the time to get to know me and the situation. I really feel like she does her job so well not only because it's her job but because she WANTS to help people. She puts her heart into it. And that's what I look for in an attorney. Plus her involvement in her community is awesome! I highly recommend Margery.

Margery was a pleasure to work with. Worker's comp and disability cases are notoriously tough, long drawn out experiences, with fees limited by state and federal laws. Margery worked tenaciously and ultimately secured an award for my wife. It was obvious to us that Margery is motivated by serving her clients. Her knowledge of the laws and process was impressive. She was very sensitive to both the emotional and legal aspects of this case and a great communicator making sure we understood every step of process. We would highly recommend Margery's services to our friends and family.

Margery helped us with our Employee manual. It was put together in an easy to follow and practical format. The information she gave us in what and what not to do per WI Employer law was excellent.

Margery is a very dedicated, professional lawyer and you can tell she cares about her clients. Her advise was spot on and if there was something she was unsure about, she would find the correct answer and get the job done. I was very satisfied with her representation!! Plus I like how involved she is within the community!

Margery is a professional, dedicated lawyer with common sense. She will listen , give sound advice and offer the best course of action, She does like to tackle injustice. Margery is a litigator. While some lawyers have an aversion to the courtroom, Margery is ready to take on the opposition on behalf of her clients. She plays well to jury's and wins most of her cases. i have worked with Margery on boards and she has represented me in the past with good results.
