Top Divorce Lawyers Near Me in Waukesha Area

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.

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.

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 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.
