While I can wholeheartedly endorse lawyer Andersen of the same firm, my experience with Klein was…read morethe complete opposite. When I sought a lawyer for my case, I first spoke to a few highly accredited Ivy League lawyers from Madison, and while I was tempted to go with them, they suggested that it might be worth looking into someone local to make things easier on my end. As my family had used the services of Klein's firm in the past, I decided to seek the counsel of Klein, who asked for a retainer that was twice the amount quoted by the aforementioned lawyers- with travel fees factored in. Now I do not know exactly what it was that he took issue with in me. If I am simply being sensitive, or if it was the details of my case, my age, my race, or just that he did not like the fact that I asked him questions and took notes at our meetings, but he clearly made an effort to be unprofessional in our dealings. Perhaps Klein's representation can be summarized in a defining phone conversation we had AFTER I had paid him a retainer. I had never personally hired a lawyer before, so I understandably had a few questions about the financial aspects of my case, as well as wanting to go over a few details of my case with my lawyer. After I asked Klein a couple questions about the difference between out-of-pocket expenses and court-fees, he snapped. "What is this, twenty questions?" he yelled into the phone. "You're wasting my time!" This was funny, coming from a man for whose time I was paying hundreds of dollars for even in this phone conversation alone. He seemed just barely able to restrain himself from cursing at me as he tried to convince me to drop him as a lawyer after I tried to explain that the retainer I paid for was a fair amount for me, and that I just wanted to make sure I understood both the case, and wanted to go over details on expenses: "If you think X dollars is a lot of money, then just come here, and I'll cut you a... stinking check for X dollars! Stop wasting my time!" This was followed by a few snide remarks (nothing unexpected) directed at me. "I thought you went to college," he yelled. "You should be grateful for what I did for you," he yelled, referring to the deal made with the DA, as if this was some pro-bono case where he did this simply out of the goodness of his heart. I mean, it was not like he was paid for his legal work or anything...Of course, the condescension didn't stop there. After he was finished with his tirade, I calmly asked why he was angry. His response was that he wasn't angry, but that I should "Come here and I'll cut you a check for your lousy X dollars, and you can go represent yourself. If it's so much money to you, good luck!" This was all because I asked him if a court stenographer (which he recommended for my case) would be covered by the retainer. "No," was all the answer I got. Wanting to know a bit more, I just asked "Isn't that considered a legal fee?" He replied briskly: "No," again offering no elaboration. Not left with too many options due to his monosyllable answers, I asked "Why not". He simply said "It's an out of pocket expense." So I asked him what the difference was, setting him off, because apparently college graduates shouldn't ask questions, as they should be grateful for overpaid, grumpy lawyers. I tried to politely explain to him that I was only asking him these questions as I simply wanted to clarify details about the use of finances, to which he replied "If a stenographer is so expensive to you, then get a job or something. If it's a financial problem, then it's your problem, not mine!" In what situation is it ever okay to be that condescending to a client, and to make implicit insults directed at their intelligence, education, or financial situation? Regardless of how one feels about the matter, there also is the question of basic knowledge of the justice system, which, after all, is what one would be paying him for. When I asked him a question directly pertaining to the case- whether it would be possible to have an arrest removed from one's record if prosecution was declined-, he insisted that it was not possible, and then launched into a lengthy personal anecdote to drive home the point that it stays on record forever, but then suggested I google it if I was that interested. A quick search on google proved that it was possible, but the point I am trying to make is this: wouldn't a criminal lawyer already know this? I suppose I mainly take issue with his business practices. When I first consulted him, he began demanding a lengthy personal history, including what my family members did for a living (making a tactless joke about one of them in the process), not that it mattered to my case, but claiming it was so that he could "put on a show" for the DA. And if you are looking for a lawyer that can return your emails (crucial in this day and age), forget it. Klein does not respond to emails. In fact, he claims not to even have one.

James Quinn handled my divorce. Unfortunately not well. Mr. Quinn was rude, unprofessional and…read moreineffective. He told me at one point he was "tired" of my divorce. He told me "you're the one who married him" and said I was only going after the money my ex stole from me because I was "mad at my ex". Mr. Quinn was happy to take 1900 dollars from me but when my ex didn't pay what he was ordered to pay, told me he wouldn't take him back to court because I had received fifty percent of the payments due to me and he was too busy to file a contempt charge against my ex. I would not recommend James Quinn to an enemy. The law office also went through 3 receptionists in the nine and a half months I retained him. I have seen the way he talks to these women. I can't blame them for leaving.

Although he was likely to win his case and the defendant had some questionable claims, I was worried that her allegations could cost my dad - especially she has been court many times in the past and knew more about the system than us. I am so grateful that Mr. Schmidt and his firm allowed us at 4pm on Friday to meet. The fee for the initial consult was very reasonable. He did the following: a) addressed my concerns about the defendant's allegations. He gave us some very good questions that would help me question the lack of evidence behind her claims. b) he gave great advice on how to move forward to ensure all the legal issues are handled correctly c) he gave recommendations on how my father could improve his knowledge of landlord rights and responsibilities in the future d) he was very good about listening to our concerns, addressing our questions, AND going above/beyond in giving us additional advice. I was impressed by his deep understanding of landlord/tenant law in central Wisconsin and how easily he could communicate it to the lay person. He was very kind and took his time with us to ensure that we could leave the meeting confident that all our questions were answered. I highly recommend Schmidt & Schmidt.
