My case was in Waukesha County and you could tell that her knowledge and work ethic is highly respected. She was tough when she needed to be and did not back down. When she needed to be honest with me she did not sugar coat things. She always was making the right decisions for me and my children. I will forever be grateful for what she did for me and my family and no amount of money would of been enough. She also helped my husband in a child support issue and her reputation made it easy because the other attorney knew her and was able to work with her for an out of court resolution.

Initially, I was going to do the proceedings myself. So I drafted documents and she would review and give me feedback. She was extremely open and honest about every step of the process, advised me clearly on what I should be flexible on and what to stand firm on, then stepped in an took over when things go rough. After my daughter was born, the agreement with her mother quickly soured and after paternity was proven I was only able to see my kid for about 6 hours a week. It was an difficult process and the stress became too much to manage. I decided to retain Jody and from that point It Was Handled. She did all the negotiations and by my child's 1st birthday, I had joint custody and equal placement. Being a father is one of the joys of my life and I firmly believe that Jody Usow was essentially in getting a court order that supports my rights as a father. Thank you Jody! You and Nick are awesome!

Ultimately, this network of Eric's has saved us a lot of money. -He is responsive, honest and committed! He doesn't tell you what you want to hear rather what will likely occur based on his experiences. In emotionally charged situations, this guidance is invaluable! -He's human!

I called Mr. Podell in desperation after firing my first attorney because he was working in collaboration with my former husband and not in my best interest.

I have had Richard represent me for the last several years. As an immigrant, and someone who was leaving an abusive marriage, I needed an attorney who I could delegate court matters to, so that I could help my children during a stressful time of change. The decisions that were being decided literally affected whether my children saw their Great grandmother before she passed away (they did) or spent summers in my home country being spoiled by my family (they do.) Richard is clear, and upfront with the process, and gives great advice on how best to proceed. Richard's legal knowledge is extensive, but it is his ability to relate to clients as if they were his own family that sets him apart from other attorneys.

Some of the options he presented were better than others, but at least he was honest and up front about the pros and cons to each option. Unfortunately Attorney Fairweather passed away a few months later. I requested to meet with a new attorney at Hawks Quindel. The firm made me pay an additional consultation fee to meet with the second attorney, which I thought was odd. After less than an hour in the office, the second attorney told me that I didn't have a case. Not only was I out one, but two consultation fees, and left exactly where I started. Today, I read an article where an attorney at Hawks Quindel is representing a volunteer who is suing a non-profit organization (a volunteer rescue squad) because he felt that he should be paid for his volunteer service. While I wholeheartedly agree that Paramedics deserve good pay, that volunteer KNEW what he was signing up for when he applied to be a volunteer. After looking into said volunteer, I see that he has felony convictions for Medicare fraud, in which he was ordered to pay over a MILLION dollars in unearned fraudulent claims. So he turns to suing a volunteer run ambulance service to pay back his debts? I don't think so. Hawks Quindel should be ashamed of themselves for representing a professional con artist. Needless to say, I would NOT recommend this firm.
