She did a great job with establishing the child support order and has continued to assist me with reinforcing the order to this very day.

Working with someone who is committed to the end game is paramount! Eric's the man for that job.

Lindsey White gave me expert advice and helped draft my prenuptial agreement several years ago…read more Unfortunately, divorce proceedings were recently filed. I reached out to Lindsey to ask for guidance. She was VERY prompt and professional in reviewing the agreement and patiently explained how the agreement would be applied in Wisconsin family court.

Hands down - please consider engaging Lindsey with your family law needs.

Attorney Richard Podell saved my financial life at the time I was getting a divorce from a…read morewell-known Milwaukee divorce attorney. 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. Attorney Richard Podell only had ten days to sort out all the details and used valuable information to help my future financial life. Words can not express my gratitude to Mr. Podell.

I was recommended Richard Podell from a friend that was impressed with his extensive legal…read moreexperience, and mediation skills. I would also add my name to that recommendation. 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.

Jody Usow provided wonderful value. She represented me extremely well. Perhaps the best thing I can…read moresay is that I never walked away from a conversation, meeting or appearance with Attorney Usow without a positive result. Highly recommended.

Jody Usow represented me in my custody battle for my daughter. Our first conversation was…read moreproductive and convinced me that I wanted to work with her. 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!

I honestly can't say enough good things about Justin Padway. I came to him with a case that felt…read morealmost impossible. It had already been mishandled, and multiple "top" attorneys wouldn't even take it. One even told me I should probably just plead guilty and stop wasting money. Justin saw something completely different. From the start, he was confident, detail-oriented, and incredibly strategic. He dug into every part of the case and built a defense that no one else had even considered. What he pulled off was honestly nothing short of a miracle.

He didn't just go through the motions--he dug deep into every aspect of the case and communicated with us clearly every step of the way.

She not only serves as a voice of reason, but she takes the time to help you understand the interpretation of the law. There are not many Lawyers out there who give such personalized service like Courtney. There are many times I would write her in the middle of the night or send emails with questions and she always got back to me. That is something priceless when difficult times weigh down your mind.
