Hiring a lawyer is expensive, period. Spend wisely & do it right the first time!…read moreEric has been our family lawyer for more than 10 years. There are solid reasons for that: -He's a very experienced attorney. He knows exactly when, where and how hard to push. He has a very strategic tactical approach that lends for achieving overall goals. 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.

RUN! SAVE YOURSELF TIME AND MONEY. My experience with this attorney was extremely disappointing…read morefrom start to finish. I consistently felt underrepresented while being heavily overbilled. A perfect example: I was billed more time for him forwarding an email than the Guardian ad Litem billed for writing the entire thing. That wasn't a one-off -- this kind of disproportionate billing happened multiple times and quickly added up. His Zoom appearances were also incredibly unprofessional. I'm not exaggerating when I say that the camera was pointed up his nose for a large portion of the hearing. The other attorney suit and tie, we'll setup... Mine the inside of his nose.... The setup looked careless, the appearance was slovenly, and the overall presentation did not inspire confidence -- especially considering for that 15 minute status conference where he ignored my requests, and the judge commented that if the next court date would be similar lets just do it via zoom. That was if memory servers a greater than $1000 dollar 15 minute appearance. So, It is my feeling that I had to have been charged for him getting dressed too. Between the lack of advocacy, the excessive and uneven billing, and the unprofessional virtual presence, I cannot recommend this attorney to anyone. I regret hiring him and I feel he did nothing to help. He made 1 appearance in physical court room for a 15 minute status conference. I dont believe he drafted a single motion, got me yelled at by the commissioner for filing a letter, and for this I was charged ~7k. Do not give him a retainer. I hope others avoid the same experience.

This attorney was completely unprofessional from start to finish. He laid down during my wife's…read morevisit in his office. He sent a non-notarized version of our prenup to the other attorney, resulting in the other attorney spending more time trying to get things sent again the correct way. He failed to properly charge my wife's credit card, resulting in an additional call. He raised his voice with me on the phone multiple times, even hanging up on me. He charged a $1100 retainer for reviewing a simple (13 page) prenup, then asked for even more money on the back end! The attorney that drafted the agreement gave us a refund on his already smaller retainer. So apparently attorney Zeckel needs more time to read a document than other attorneys do to create one. Stay FAR AWAY from this guy.

I am not sure if this Melissa L has her wits about her. I have had Attorney Best represent me in…read moremany legal affairs with exceptional results. never have I felt pressured to do anything I did not agree with. Ms. Best explained thoroughly all of my options and offered to me what she thought would be the best route to go. I trust her implicitly. She is exceedingly ethical and is every regard a credit to her profession. By reading Melissa L's review, it seems to me that she is angered more by the situation that she put herself in, and when she was presented with the solutions to her issues, she got angry that they were not what she expected. I look at this review as noting more than vindictive, mean and ultimately, "sour grapes." I will use and recommend Attorney Best as often as I can.

This lady is awful stay away from her she works against you she was buddies with the opposing side…read moreand pushed me into things she had no patience no compassion and I honestly felt bullied into making choices. Now today I just find out of a court date and the fact that I was ordered to pay half of the fees my ex paid who I have a restraining order on and who doesn't even feed my child when he is by him but yet this lawyer seems to do nothing other then not even bother to notify me of court dates or anything for that matter. She is out for one thing to take your money and do as little as possible. She never listened to me or even bothered to pretend she cared about me and my son all she did was give me attitude and push me to make decisions in favor of the opposing side. This lady is a very unethical and disgusting excuse for a lawyer and please do not throw your money and case away on her.

I was very reluctant to hire an attorney because I've never had the need to do so, but I'm so glad…read moreI did! Attorney Knighton did a great job and was truthful about every step even if it's not what I wanted to hear. Every one I spoke too was helpful and I never felt left out in the cold. In the beginning I was quoted a fixed fee and they stuck to it. I'll admit that I had some sticker shock when I first saw it, but now that everything's done I feel lucky that I wasn't overcharged or billed hourly.

I hired this attorney because I expected the level of skill, preparation, and advocacy that comes…read morewith hiring a licensed professional and paying thousands of dollars for legal representation. I did not expect a guaranteed outcome, but I absolutely expected someone who would know the law, prepare me for the process, communicate with me, and advocate for me in court. I did not receive that from Lindsey Houghton. From the beginning, I had to chase my own attorney for answers. Very little of the legal process was explained to me, and I was constantly calling and emailing with basic questions because I wasn't being kept informed. Responses were often delayed, leaving me to figure out far too much on my own. What was most frustrating was that I was initially told my role as the children's primary caregiver and my documented safety concerns would be central to our argument. Then, immediately before the first hearing, the strategy completely changed without any meaningful explanation. I walked into court completely unprepared for what was about to happen. The hearing itself lasted about ten minutes. Opposing counsel presented their position while my attorney offered virtually no advocacy for mine. When it was finally her turn to speak, she mumbled through her comments, was interrupted by the commissioner, and then simply stopped. She never redirected, never asked to finish, never made sure my position was fully presented, and never fought to have my concerns heard. Afterward, her explanation was essentially that the commissioner cut her off and there was nothing she could do. That answer was unacceptable to me. I didn't hire an attorney to give up the moment she was interrupted. That hearing set the tone for the rest of my case. My concerns were about the children's safety, yet I left feeling that I had been portrayed as a controlling parent instead. I expected my attorney to clearly distinguish between a parent raising legitimate safety concerns and a parent trying to control the other parent. She didn't. After the hearing, instead of discussing how to address what had happened or how to better present my case moving forward, I was told this was how things were going to be, that I needed to cooperate, and that if I wasn't happy, I could find another attorney. Looking back, I honestly feel like I paid thousands of dollars to have someone sit next to me while my case was pushed through the system. I could have represented myself, spoken for myself, and walked away with a better result without paying for representation that, in my experience, provided little meaningful value. I hired an attorney because I expected expertise and advocacy. I did not receive either, and I cannot recommend this attorney to anyone facing a custody case.

In the matter of, Glenn Price VS State of Wisconsin: Attorney Bear appears for jury trial totally…read moreunprepared and dressed as if she's at home cleaning or possibly an afternoon at the gym. At trial she made no arguments of the evidence available to her that would have proven my innocence. At trial she used none of the video or police statements that again have proven my innocence. In short, the job of a defense lawyer is to present a defense and that never happened. The argument of self-defense was made to the jury due to Mrs. Bears lack of experience and her appearing for a jury trial totally unprepared. Mr. Bear somehow feel her time in court is worth $5,500. Be advised that this amount for her services will not be paid. In closing Mrs. Bear needs a refresher course in arguing a self-defense case that has no evidence, it was a simple he said matter with the police stating that my attacker had started the altercation without cause, police video available upon request.
