3
Communicates effectively and keeps clients informed throughout the legal process

4
Demonstrates professionalism, integrity, and a strong work ethic
“Attorney Ablan is a 'throw-back,' an old-school attorney who practices law by always being prepared and by always treating adversary counsel with respect and the highest degree of civility.”
Cons
1
Failure to perform promised duties and provide adequate representation in some cases, leading to unsatisfactory outcomes for clients
“Not only did he make me do all of my own work including making legal-related phone calls, he also failed to show up to meetings, failed to call me back, lost paperwork and over charged me for doing none of the work.”
2
Potential for overcharging clients and disregarding agreed-upon fee arrangements
“He billed us more than $20000. Over retainer and took our personnal injury. It was in a trust and after divorce he went before judge and had him reverse his order and award him his additional attorney. Fees he claimed were accurate out of an honest attorney trust in La Crosse who represented me and my child.”
