Our attorneys are recognized as top lawyers in the field of family law. When faced with a legal issue that impacts your family, you need first-rate legal representation. Our family law attorneys are consistently named by local, state and national organizations as the best in their field. Whether you are seeking advice on an impending divorce, a dispute over custody and placement of children, a child support or maintenance issue or need guidance through an upcoming adoption, our attorneys have the experience you need.
We provide a wide variety of services covering family law issues including divorce, paternity, child placement and custody, child support and maintenance, adoption, prenuptial agreements, guardianships, nursing home issues, and more. While many cases are resolved through negotiation, mediation or other alternatives, we are also skilled litigators at both the trial court and appellate level.
We also offer services and resources which smaller firms simply can’t provide, such as access to in-house tax attorneys, bankruptcy attorneys, business attorneys, and estate planners as appropriate. For clients with substantial financial issues or complex business interests, this experience and access assures that issues such as tax consequences, preservation of business interests, intellectual property rights, and more are addressed properly and efficiently.
Even clients with less complicated financial matters benefit from our experience and resources because issues such as division of retirement plans or analysis of tax consequences can be handled in-house, effectively and efficiently.
Family law matters often impact important personal issues such as child custody and placement, adoption, and dissolution of long-term relationships. We know that these areas are more than just legal issues – they are often life-changing personal events. No matter what the circumstance, we will represent you with expertise, sensitivity, care and respect. Our reputation often encourages reasonable resolutions to these sensitive issues, but when necessary, we have the experience you need for effective litigation in the courtroom.
Our family law attorneys in Madison, Brookfield and Minneapolis have state-wide practices and have represented clients throughout Wisconsin and Minnesota and in the Court of Appeals and Supreme Court.
