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.

Chris Hueneke supercedes ALL factors one would seek in an attorney, and I am ever so grateful that…read moreI found him, and that he warmly agreed to accept my case. Due to the extreme negligence endured from a previous attorney who started my father's probate case, Chris was assuredly handed an atypical, intricate situation. He not only had to amend multiple, crucial errors that were initially made, but also had to ensure that the case continued to flow in a timely manner. Prior to finding Attorney Chris, there were days I would just cry, feeling stuck and not sure how to proceed appropriately with the mess that had already been created by a claimed professional (previous laywer). However, after working with Chris directly, its no wonder this man won Super Lawyer multiple years in a row for his outstanding work. From my initial visit, to the closing of the estate, Chris went above and beyond to kindly and thoroughly list and explain EVERY STEP, and even the ones subsequent to the present. His communication is amazing, he is a true pleasure to work with, and his navigation through this case was beautifully done. My personal situation required an intelligent individual, who was particularly knowledgeable on all avenues of estate law. Needless to say, Chris fit the bill and highly exceeded any expectations held. Not once was I left with unanswered questions, and I always felt 100% trust with Chris because I knew he sincerely cared...period. I very much admire him, as his qualities and actions deserve respect and praise. He is a true master at his craft! Attorney Chris Hueneke has been a tremendous honor to work with, and God's blessing for me all around. I do not feel this review is enough, to truly resonate my genuine appreciation for him. He has an exceptional personality and attributes, and his character, values and behavior make him a unique and rare find. I just cannot thank him enough for all he has done for me, and I would undoubtedly recommend this man 100 times over! THANK YOU SO MUCH, ATTORNEY CHRIS!

I retained Chris Hueneke to represented me in a divorce in 2015. He asked for an upfront fee of…read more$2500. At the court proceeding I expected him to advocate for me on my behalf. I even asked him to when we entered the Milwaukee courthouse. He never said a word on my behalf, and I mean nothing. He just sat in a chair with his hands on the table. The judge asked him if he had anything to say, and he replied "No, your honor". I was very disappointed with his attitude and representation. After the court hearing, I asked him why he didn't advocate on my behalf. He shrugged his shoulders, lifted his hands and slapped his thighs, and said nothing. At this point I realized what a mistake I made retaining him. A few weeks later, he had the nerve to send me a bill for another $700. I had no choice and paid it. I'm surprised he still practicing law. I feel because of his dishonesty, that he should be disbarred. My advice to anyone needed an attorney in a divorce proceeding is to go somewhere else and just stay away from Magner And Hueneke.
