We believe your attorney should not speak in legalese

Finding an attorney who is a “real person” can be difficult. Many attorneys surround themselves almost exclusively with other attorneys and are accustomed to speaking in ivory tower legalese.  You should be able to connect with your attorney on a personal level, and he or she should speak to you in plain language that you can understand.  You will be working very closely with this person on issues that are very important to you. It is important that he or she be down-to-earth and someone that you connect with.

We believe your attorney should be accessible

The most common complaint that clients have of their attorneys is that the attorney is unreachable, does not communicate with them regularly, or does not promptly return your calls.  Your attorney should reach out to you about your case regularly and respond within 24 hours to calls and e-mails.  An open line of communication between you and your attorney is essential to building trust.

Learn how we service your area through our Remote Location Approach.

We believe your attorney should be realistic with you about costs and outcomes

Your attorney’s goal should not be to win at all costs.  Rather, it should be to achieve a favorable outcome for you as efficiently as possible.  It is important that your attorney set realistic expectations at the outset as to the costs you should expect, the concerns that the attorney has about the outcome of your case, and the length of time that you should expect your case to take.

Regardless of the nature of your case, we have an experienced attorney who will focus on your individual needs. Our team of attorneys works closely together, bringing each of their different fields of experience to bear in order to optimize our client care.

Recent Changes to Wisconsin Family Law

  • Wisconsin follows a no-fault divorce system, where the only legal ground for divorce is that the marriage is irretrievably broken, either stated under oath by both parties or demonstrated through a period of living apart for 12 months prior to filing for divorce.
  • In Wisconsin, a divorce cannot proceed to a final hearing until 120 days have passed since the service of the summons and petition, although this waiting period can be waived by the court under compelling circumstances.
  • Wisconsin's family law mandates a 50/50 division of property upon divorce, recognizing the state as a community property jurisdiction, but separate property acquired through specific means like inheritance, or gifts remains with the individual spouse.
