Personal service is what we are about at the Law Offices of Jeffrey W. Jensen.  I am a sole practitioner, so when you call, I will know who you are and what is going on with your case.  There are no client numbers, nor do you have to work your way from receptionist, to personal assistant, to the attorney's voice mail, like in the big firms.  On the other hand, I share office space with nine other lawyers, so there is safety in numbers.  The attorneys help one  another, which means that you will never be left in court unrepresented because I am tied up in a trial.  Also, between all of the lawyers, we can handle mostly every sort of legal problem.  Give us a call, and see what you think.

Our firm is in general practice and we handle a variety of areas including bankrtupcy, family law, estate, immigration, consumer, commercial, civil rights, business, real estate, probate and criminal law.. We strive to provide value to our clients and to provide cost effective services.. I speak numerous languages and have previously lived in Moscow, Russia where I opened and operated a cosmetics factory until 1994.  Prior to this, I worked in executive management in operations and finance and held public office.. I am married with four sons and raise chickens and quail.

My wife and I currently reside in Wauwatosa.  We enjoy checking all the great restaurants around our office in the Third Ward.  In my free time I enjoy golfing and attending Marquette and Brewers games.

My major interests outside of work are my family including three children, one adorable (if I may say so myself) grandson and a large, friendly, not very bright black labrador retriever, not necessarily in that order.. I am a runner, although not a very fast one, but I benefit from a dwindling number of competitors in my age group on the theory that if I can't get faster, at least I can get older.. I enjoy traveling and have been honored to lead groups of family law professionals to South Africa, Vietnam and Cambodia, Rwanda and Cuba.  Finally, for 11 weekends every fall (12 if they make a bowl game), I am intensly concerned that the Wisconsin Badgers do not fall back on the old habits from the days I went to school there - all wins are welcome.

Milwaukee lawyer Chelsea L. Williamson’s primary motivation in practicing family law is to help people in especially trying situations.. Emotions are heightened in family law cases, so Ms. Williamson provides her clients with a source of stability and always looks out for their best interest.. “Family law was appealing because of the combination of the legal aspect with the therapeutic aspect,” Ms. Williamson said. “So many of our clients just want someone to listen to them and tell them that their feelings are valid.”. Ms. Williamson has the unique ability to both listen and empathize. At the end of the day, she is honest about the situation facing each of her clients, but she also always is available if they simply need to vent.. “I believe I am able to connect with clients and let them know that I hear what they feel and what they want and that I understand where they are coming from,” Ms. Williamson said. “Even what they feel or want is legally not in their best interest, I want them to know that I understand and will help guide them to the best possible solution.. “The legal process works at its own pace, but it will all come together in the end. I’m here to help them 100% of the way even beyond the pleadings and the court hearings. I am here to listen to their concerns, help them figure out what they ultimately want and do the stressing and the worrying for them. I am also here to make sure they are not taken advantage of.”

Michael Hanrahan provides businesses and individuals with legal counsel and advocacy services on a variety of topics, with a primary focus on litigation matters. Mr. Hanrahan is an experienced trial attorney, having represented clients in state and federal courts in more than twenty jury trials and a dozen court trials. He has also represented business clients in Wisconsin administrative proceedings involving discrimination and unemployment compensation claims.. In addition to his extensive courtroom experience, Mr. Hanrahan is a talented brief writer and has handled a number of appeals. For example, Mr. Hanrahan tried a commercial case involving a large industrial metal stamping press to a Jefferson County jury. After receiving a successful jury verdict in favor of his client under Wisconsin’s False Advertising Statute, the defendant appealed. Mr. Hanrahan briefed and argued the case to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, with the Court affirming the judgment for his client. (K&S Tool & Die v. Perfection Machinery Sales, 301 109, 732 N.W.2d 792 (2007)). See () The Court’s decision stands as a leading decision under this developing area of law. Mr. Hanrahan has also briefed and argued cases to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals.. As part of his civil litigation practice, Mr. Hanrahan regularly represents businesses and individuals regarding covenants not to compete, trade secret matters and confidentiality agreements. He has provided pre-lawsuit legal counseling and contract drafting for covenants not to compete, and judicial briefing and jury trial services as to covenants not to compete. In a recent jury trial involving a covenant not to compete, Mr. Hanrahan obtained a successful jury verdict in favor of his client on a trade secret claim, and, through legal briefing, a judicial declaration of the covenant not to compete’s invalidity, resulting in a complete victory for his client.. During Mr. Hanrahan’s first several years as an attorney, his practice focused on representing insurance companies, and he gained extensive experience in insurance coverage disputes. Since then, he has regularly represented business clients in insurance coverage disputes, including appellate cases. He has also handled professional negligence claims, including medical, dental and accounting malpractice claims. As part of his representation of insurers, Mr. Hanrahan handled a variety of personal injury lawsuits, including negligence and strict product liability cases. With this experience, Mr. Hanrahan has continued to represent clients in personal injury actions, primarily representing injured parties. He has successfully represented individuals in personal injury cases involving food borne illness, products liability and vehicular accidents.. Mr. Hanrahan also has gained significant experience in construction litigation matters. Mr. Hanrahan has represented developers in lawsuits against contractors for breach of contract and building defects. He has also represented contractors who have been forced to utilize their lien rights and pursue claims against developers and/or owners in order to be paid for their work. While in college, Mr. Hanrahan has worked as a laborer for a general contractor, thereby gaining a firsthand understanding of building trades and construction processes and the challenges that come with them.. In representing the firm’s clients over the years, Mr. Hanrahan has also litigated matters involving minority shareholder rights and securities claims. In such matters, Mr. Hanrahan employed business valuation methods and analysis. Such tools have also been valuable in the family law work that Mr. Hanrahan has performed. Often, the most contested issues in a family law matter will involve the valuation of closely held business interests and/or the income that is produced by closely held businesses. In such circumstances, Mr. Hanrahan’s experience as a commercial litigator adds significant value to his representation of family law clients.. While Mr. Hanrahan has the experience to take cases to trial with confidence, he recognizes that litigation can be a time consuming and expensive process. As such, Mr. Hanrahan provides advice and counsel to his clients regarding the potential of settlement throughout the litigation process. He has represented his clients in dozens of mediations, many of which have resulted in satisfactory settlements for his clients. In appropriate circumstances, Mr. Hanrahan uses creative resolution processes. For example, in one case, he negotiated an agreement with the opposing party to settle some aspects of the case, entered binding arbitration for other aspects of the case and tried the remainder of the case to a circuit court jury. Of course, each case is different, and Mr. Hanrahan has shown the ability to be tough when necessary, while continuing to interact with the opposing party in a professional and reasonable manner, thereby keeping the possibility of settlement discussions open at all times.

I've been practicing law since 1995, and I love what I do. I love my work because I thrive off of helping others. Though the money is certainly nice and provides a very comfortable lifestyle, I did not become an attorney to get rich - I became one so that I would have an interesting livelihood with which I could validate my own existence in the universe by doing meaningful things for folks in need of help while fully utilizing all of my language and "people" skills. Unlike a lot of other attorneys, I take the time to provide my clients such quality services as making house calls (not just for the sick or elderly), and I personally return each and every client's telephone call and e-mail reasonably promptly, if not immediately. With the exception of bankruptcy-client cases, no one ever touches my files but me. I do have people helping me out at any given time with the administration of my law practice, but only my hands touch my non-bankruptcy files. I am the only one who drafts my criminal-defense and family-law clients' paperwork, not some paralegal. When a client retains me to handle his or her case in court, I am the one who goes to court for that client, not an associate attorney working for me. And I am the one who is in charge of taking and answering my telephone messages on my direct line. I do everything myself for my clients because modern technology allows me to, and because past experiences have taught me that letting somebody else do work on my cases can lead to sloppy carelessness below the high standards that I adopted from half a decade of military service during the cold war. I realize that what I do for people is very serious business; I take each and every client's case equally as seriously, no matter how much or how little is at stake for each one because everybody's case is important. Another reason that I can do everything for my clients myself and take such good care of them personally is because I am very selective with the number of legal matters that I take on at any given time, unlike other lawyers I know who pile so many cases onto their desks that they end up spreading themselves far too thinly to give their clients the close attention, care and results that I give mine!

Also, click  to read a poem that one of my actual clients has published on about the quality of the service and care I provide.
