Top best C Lawyers in Waukesha | 224 available

When I began to practice law in 1972 I never expected that the focus of my work would be the area of Domestic Relations. Time and many satisfied clients have proved this to be my area of concentration. While this is a very difficult time for most clients, we do our best to help them through this process in a positive way. Sometimes the best advice we can provide is an honest and complete appraisal of the client's situation. Promising unrealistic results or encouraging wasteful and spiteful litigation is not consistent with our firm philosophy. While marriages may end, families continue. We do not serve our clients if at the same time we injure their family.. Twenty years ago, with the help of two mental health professionals, I began a comprehensive divorce mediation business. Like many good ideas, the time was not right, and people were afraid of this new and unfamiliar process for resolving disputes.. Twenty years have passed and the time is now right. I have been providing mediation services to parties and their lawyers for the past two years. Approximately 1/3 of my practice now consists of mediation and arbitration services. The ability of parties and their attorneys to reach resolution when properly facilitated is astounding. More than 95% of the matters which have been submitted to me for mediation have resulted in the parties reaching an agreement which addresses their needs and interests.. In consultation with the parties? attorneys, I am able to design a process which will promote the likelihood of resolution. This process can be facilitative or evaluative or a combination of each. The goal is to encourage the parties to explore alternatives that allow them to successfully achieve their goals.. The mediation process allows for candor and creativity in an interest focused environment which provides safety and confidentiality. There is every reason to believe spouses can assist one another in achieving their goals if, at the same time, they are able to achieve their own goals.

Following that passion to help the underdog, Olivia first interned in the Washington County District Attorney’s office, where she gained important insights into charging decisions and plea negotiations. From there, Olivia interned in the Milwaukee office of the State Public Defender.

My first trial after graduating law school was a homicide case and we achieved a not guilty verdict. Since then, our firm has achieved innumerable dismissials and acquittals. We have won cases that seem unwinable. We have won cases when clients have confessed to crimes. In one very remarkable case, one of our clients confessed to a crime and pleaded guilty with another lawyer. After coming to us for a second opinion we were able to withdraw his guilty plea, go to trial, and convince a jury of his innocence despite the fact that he confessed his guilt to the police.. We have won every type of case you could imagine. Many of our wins occur even before charges are issued - countless times we are hired immediately after a client is arrested and we are often able to convince prosecutors to drop or reduce the case before charges are ever issued. When we can't beat the case, we are usually able to negotiate a favorable settlement. Myself, and my team, work tirelessly to protect your rights. We take what we do seriously, because lives and freedom are at stake. When you read our reviews you are reading real life stories of people who have had their lives changed for the better, because of their contact with our firm.. I have spent my life working for the underdog and the less fortunate. I come from humble blue-collar roots. I spent ten years driving garbage truck, putting myself through college and law school. During law school, I moved to East Africa and spent a summer representing war crime victims in Eritrea. After law school I have spent every minute of my professional career representing my clients with dilgence and care. If you choose to hire me as your lawyer, you will receive my unwavering committment to handle your case with extraordinary effort.

My areas of practice are in litigation-civil rights/municipal and employment, and I have practiced at all levels in both state and federal court.. I grew up just outside Madison, Wisconsin and I attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison. After completing my studies at the UW, I was accepted into the Hansard Scholars program and I moved to London where I served as an intern in the British Parliament.  After fulfilling a bucketlist goal of mine to travel Europe, I headed to Milwaukee to enroll at Marquette University Law School.. My years in law school were some of the most rewarding-and sometimes stressful-years of my life. Not only did I learn the true definitions of hard-work and critical thinking, but I also gained my independence and the confidence to assert myself through both writing and oral advocacy. While at Marquette, I served on the Marquette Law Review. I also competed in the National Entertainment Law Moot Court Competition in California, where I recieved an award for the competition's third-best respondent's brief.  I also served as a judicial intern to the Honorable Dennis P. Moroney and interned in the legal department at Kohler Co.. I now live in Milwaukee, although I travel back to Madison often. I love college basketball and football (go Badgers!) and the NFL (go Packers!). I also enjoy traveling as much as I can, reading and writing, and spending time with family and friends.

In addition to being an accomplished attorney, Thomas Alberti has relationships with media outlets and can manage publicity for his clients.. Milwaukee Sentinel: Dustin Diamond Acquitted of Felony Charge

I represent clients facing serious felony and misdemeanor charges. Throughout my career, I have obtained numerous reductions in charges and outright dismissals. Criminal law is more than just accepting the State's plea deal.. Criminal charges are serious and can have life altering consequences if convicted. A criminal conviction can take away your ability to drive a vehicle, prevent you from owning a firearm, restrict employment, and land you in prison or jail.  Criminal convictions also carry steep fines that can be financially devastating to you and your family.. Oftentimes, clients hire me during the investigation stage of their case before charges are even brought and I have frequently prevented charges from being formally filed.  In the event the State does proceed with formal charges, I will investigate your case fully and discuss with you all possible defense options to give you the best opportunity for success.

I pride myself as being a versatile lawyer that can provide you with comprehensive and diligent legal representation.  Since starting at the firm, I have handled cases in worker’s compensation, personal injury, family law, landlord/tenant rights, real estate transactions, estate planning, lemon law, small claims and civil litigation.  I am also an experienced legal writer and researcher, having interned for the District IV Court of Appeals in Madison.  In looking for lawyers, experience working for a court is always a bonus for several reasons - your lawyer will know what judges look for and perhaps more importantly, he or she will know what judges dislike, so that your case gets the fair chance it deserves.. I graduated early from the University of Wisconsin Law School, receiving the top mark in Judge Charles Dykman’s Wisconsin Negligence course. I also received a scholarship from the Wisconsin Association of Workers Compensation Attorneys and led my fellow law students as a director of a pro bono legal organization and a member of the Christian Legal Society.  My undergraduate degree, also from UW-Madison, graduating in the top 7% of my class is in Computer Engineering with a second major in Computer Science.  I find that having a background as a complex problem solver makes me uniquely suited to tackle your worst legal problems and it is part of why I love to do what I do.. In my spare time, I love traveling with my wife and enjoying the outdoors, including backpacking, golfing and just getting out on the water.  I am also an avid Wisconsin sports fan – whether it’s the Packers, Brewers, Badgers or Bucks.

I practice in the areas of family law, estate planning, and business law.  Please call to discuss your needs.  Representation is offered on an hourly, limited scope or full retainer basis, depending upon your needs.. By way of more information, I became interested in law as a child.  My grandfather  nurtured my desire to make a positive difference in the lives of others. He pointed me to the legal profession, which he said presented the greatest opportunity to apply hard work, integrity and compassion to people in need. Over the years of practicing law, I have found that to be true on a daily basis. In this profession, we see both the best and worst of things that life can bring, and I strive to truly listen to my clients, to be empathetic to them, and to educate them about options and consequences. I believe being an advocate is one of the greatest privileges there is, and I am very honored to navigate my clients through difficult and very important times in their lives.. I started practicing law in 2000, litigating contract and complex tort cases in State and Federal trial and appellate courts. I most enjoyed working with children and families and their legal needs, so in 2009, I opened my own private practice to focus on three areas of the law: family matters (divorce, legal separation, paternity, post-judgment matters and the collaborative process); estate planning (wills, trusts, and incapacitation planning); and business law (business formation, contract creation and litigation of disputes). In March of 2016, I was asked to join Phillips & Gemignani, LLC, and I continue to focus on those three areas.. When I am not in the office, I enjoy spending time with my husband and three children and staying active by volunteering in school, extracurricular activities and other community organizations. My oldest daughter, Abby, was born with hearing loss, and I am fortunate to work with some of the organizations that have helped us along the way. Abby has made me fully appreciate that challenges are opportunities to become more than what we are and to move outside of ourselves to help others.. I was a Burke Scholar at Marquette University, whereby I was able to volunteer hundreds of hours each school year in Southeastern Wisconsin communities (in healthcare, community centers, children's organizations, hunger/homelessness groups, churches, jails, justice centers, etc.).  I graduated magna cum laude with a double major in writing-intensive English and in History. I was fortunate to be named Marquette University’s College of Arts and Sciences’ Outstanding Senior and the Association of Marquette University Women’s Senior Women Ignation Leader. I was also a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Alpha Sigma Nu and Sigma Tau Delta Honor Societies.. My law degree is from Marquette University Law School, where I was a law scholar and where I was awarded CALI Excellence for the Future Awards in Business Law, Elder Law and Juvenile Law.. I have been fortunate to become a member of the Collaborative Family Law Council of Wisconsin, the Society of Family Lawyers and the Waukesha Bar Association, and I continue to volunteer as much as I can, including with the Women’s Center in Waukesha, the Christmas Clearing Council, SC Waukesha, the Legal Aid Society, Rose Glen PTO, and the school district (I am a representative of the Waukesha Superintendent Advisory Council).. I would be honored to be your attorney.

I practice as a criminal defense lawyer because I believe that the rights of all depend on the rights of one. As a result, each person's rights must be vigilantly safeguarded against the powers of the state. An unfettered state results in the very tyranny our Founding Fathers sought to protect us against with the Constitution.. I have devoted the last 30 years of my life as an attorney to this pursuit. With the law firm of Walden & Schuster, S.C., I continue to do so for clients just like you throughout the Waukesha County area in a wide variety of criminal defense matters, including DUI, domestic violence, juvenile cases and drug-related charges.. In doing so, I follow a baseline philosophy: effective legal representation depends on individualized services. For that reason, I have intentionally structured my legal practice in order to enable me to focus on you, the individual.. My focus on each individual client enables me to learn the facts that can determine the outcome of your case. It also means I can help you understand the legal options available in your particular case so you can choose from them intelligently and with confidence whatever the circumstances. Your confidence will stem from the knowledge that my experience means I hold a legal judgment that has been tried and tested many, many times, often by situations very similar to the situation now facing you.

I handle all types of criminal defense.  I have spent many years understanding and defending the most difficult of cases - alleged child abuse.  These cases are very difficult to defend because it requires an understanding of the medical aspects of the case.  I bring this experience and knowledge to your case, along with a great number of physicians who assist me.  If you have been falsely accused of abusing your child, please feel free to give me a call to discuss the facts of your case.. In addition, I handle a significant number of sexual assault allegation cases. I have a significant number of sexual assault trial wins. Recently. the Wisconsin Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (WACDL) named an award after me. That award is given to attorneys who get a not guilty verdict at trial on a felony sexual assault. As a firm, we are highly skilled in defending allegations of sexual assault.. We are also a very experienced federal defense firm.  Whether you or a loved one have been charged with a drug conspiracy, human trafficking or any other federal charge, call me or my partner Anthony Cotton.. I have been a lawyer since 1995.  I went back to school after my children entered grade school.  I am proud to practice with my son and partner, Anthony Cotton.  We are a family orientated firm and we strive to give close and personal attention to all our clients.  We know that a criminal allegation affects not only the accused, but his or her entire family.  We will be honored and happy to help you.

I followed my father's footsteps into the law.  As both a Lutheran pastor and a state public defender, he taught my sisters and I first-hand the importance of being a person folks can rely on during some of the hardest times of their lives.. When folks are facing the loss of their freedom, their job, or their family, it can be the scariest time of their lives.  They need a zealous attorney who will stand up for their rights and their dignity, whatever their background.  That is the type of Attorney my father taught me to be.. I am an experienced trial attorney and have a long history of successfully exposing illegal police searches and seizures.  I know how to hold the State to its burden at every stage of a criminal, right through appeals if necessary.. Prior to arriving at Marquette Law School, I attended the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point and spent two semesters working as a Parliamentery Special Assistant in the palace of Westminster.. The youngest of four, I was the only one of my siblings born and raised exclusively in Wisconsin, mostly in a small town of Clintonville just West of Green Bay.  I grew up fishing and hunting, and still enjoy those things when I can can get time to do them.  However, I mostly stay in Southeastern Wisconsin now.. Beyond fighting felony cases in state and federal court, filing appeals, and representing parents in custody disputes, I try to spend time traveling with my husband at least a couple times per year.  We also try to see as many Brewers games at Miller Park as time allows.. Mostly, my time is spent helping my clients.  If you have any questions about how I can assist you or someone you care about in dealing with an issue anywhere in the state, please give me a call or stop by my firm's Waukesha office, conveniently located across from the County Courthouse.. We're here to help, when it matters most.

I am both a criminal defense attorney and certified paralegal in Waukesha county. In this role, my goals are to connect with my clients and to offer them an exquisite amount of attention and communication throughout the process. I take cases including, OWI, OAR, disorderly conduct, domestic violence, drug possession, and much more.
