I reached out to my lawyer from a large law firm, but they were not able to help due to a conflict. Instead they gave me the name of Nistler Law and I am so glad they did! He was able to get my case to go to mediation instead of court which saved me not only precious time but also a large amount of money. Throughout the duration of my case, I had frequent updates via email, phone calls, and texts. As a physician, these updates assured me that my case was being handled appropriately. My invoices were detailed and allowed me to see what I was actually getting for the money. Overall, Nistler Law has made a lasting impression on me and has had a big impact on my clinic. If you have a legal issue that you need significant attention to detail, Nistler law is the place to be. I have them on my favorites list on my iPhone, would use them again if needed, and highly recommend them to anyone!

There are solid reasons for that: -He's a very experienced attorney. He knows exactly when, where and how hard to push.

Not unlike a game of chess, Eric knows what move to make and at what moment. -As a well-respected attorney, with a significant reach across Metro Milwaukee, Eric has vast & diverse network of resources to tap. 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 cannot tell you how many times I have called Eric's office, upset and he's been more than a lawyer. His listened and then responded appropriately. He certainly talks through the legal implications but more importantly has never discounted my feelings. -He's reasonable Eric has also worked intentionally to mitigate our bill. Lawyers are an investment and Eric has always been very sensitive about to that. Family law situations take a long time to work through. Working with someone who is committed to the end game is paramount! Eric's the man for that job.

Initially I met with Attorney Fairweather about an employment case. He was amazing from the get-go;…read moreasking every detail of my case and explaining all of my options moving forward. 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.

I agree with the other review I wouldn't recommend taking to the lady not sure who she is but she's veryyyy rude and unprofessional. I actually spoke to her more than him. She called me today asking if I had decided to go with them or not and when I told her I was still deciding and putting g together my funds she became very rude and insulting. This lady actually said to me " are you an actual nurse or nurse assistant because I've never known a nurse that has to scramble for funds"?! How incredibly unprofessional who says something like that to someone I guess my decision was right not to go with them I wouldn't recommend them. I'm a single mother and I'm sure we all know the rise in cost of living nurses aren't rich, I was floored at her decorum. Zero stars if I could.

Attorney Handler is hands down the very best lawyer I've ever dealt with in my life (and, sadly,…read moreI've had to deal with a few). This is the one attorney who listened patiently to the details of my matters, told me exactly what he could do for me, and once I agreed he actually put on paper those same exact things as well as what he would charge for those items. I was very sad to see the attorney is no longer practicing but I can't blame him either; being an honest and compassionate attorney like himself is sadly not very well rewarded by the current justice system. I don't know where the attorney is now or what he is doing but I wish him the very best. He was also one of the smartest and most talented people I've ever met (speaks Hebrew and Chinese aside from English).

BLUF: After nearly four years of representing myself, I had developed a good sense of what…read moreeffective advocacy looks (and doesn't look) like. Attorney Leaf exceeded my expectations. Once I retained her, I felt like the cavalry had arrived. She reduced my financial exposure from thousands of dollars to hundreds, and the difference in preparation and advocacy between Attorney Leaf and opposing counsel was immediately apparent. I imagine there's a time when a young person dreams of becoming an attorney, then spends years learning what excellence in the profession looks like. Then comes the day that person realizes they have become that attorney--and demonstrates it every day. In my view, Kristin Leaf is one of those attorneys. Words I would use to describe her are: mindful; considerate; empathetic; strategic; capable; understanding; and formidable. By simply doing her job well, Attorney Leaf distinguished herself immediately. The difference in preparation, responsiveness, and resourcefulness in court was obvious. Although Attorney Leaf treated the "other side" with courtesy and respect, and always conducted herself in a dignified manner, the difference in caliber between Attorney Leaf and opposing counsel was unmistakable. She takes the time to understand not just your legal position, but what you're actually trying to accomplish. She doesn't make you feel like a "case," like billable time, or like she's got more important things to be doing. She treats you like a human. She's also mindful that her time is your money and makes every interaction count. I personally observed that Attorney Leaf stepped in and pinch-hit for my other GRGB attorney. She's got people's backs. I had been pro se for almost four years, with the exception of two short appearances by attorneys that made my situation worse. I have no doubt that if I had been represented by Attorney Kristin Leaf from the beginning, I would be in a much stronger position in family court today. Most people "don't have the money" to spend on a lawyer, me included, but if it comes to spending money you don't have, better to spend it on someone who will work hard to get the outcomes you need-and who has a responsive, supportive, hard-working team-than on a budget attorney who doesn't truly listen or prioritize you. That's the one thing I appreciated most about Attorney Leaf. She listens--even when she probably already knows the answer. Even when your thinking is off track. Even when you're discussing something the court can't fix. She listens first, then works with you to identify the path forward. Attorney Leaf has clearly invested in becoming an exceptional attorney, and it shows in every interaction. GRGB is lucky to have her. Retain her before the other side does! I am also represented by another GRGB attorney in a criminal matter. As that case progresses, I expect to update this review to reflect that experience as well. That said, if you need representation on multiple legal fronts, that's yet another advantage of retaining this firm.

Terrible experience folks. I hired a divorce attorney from this law firm with the high hopes that…read morehe would be good. Unfortunately, he ended up being anything but. He was absolutely awful - honestly the worst attorney I've ever encountered. Among many other things, he would not respond in a timely manner (I would wait for days, sometimes weeks) and then he kept me in the dark on almost everything. He was full of empty promises and misinformation and didn't seem to know family law like he should. He was very disrespectful toward me as a client too, so I would avoid this law firm if I were you.
