Kiley Zellner

Firm: Zellner Law, LLC
4915 S Howell Ave. , Milwaukee , Wisconsin 53207
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense
After graduating law school I realized that my focus as an attorney should be on helping individuals. I began doing criminal defense work when I realized how earthshattering criminal allegations and the legal system can be to individuals. I take my role, of providing a voice to the accused, very seriously. I also enjoy helping individuals who have become overwhelmed with financial issues. I enjoy working with clients to restore normalcy to their lives and a fresh start in a Bankruptcy.

Jeffrey Purnell

Firm: Purnell Law Office
3970 N Oakland Ave , Milwaukee , Wisconsin 53211
Practice Areas: Criminal Defense, Tax
One of my recent cases of interest is State v. Jepsen, 09 CF 0005, in Sheboygan County, Wisconsin. Alan was charged with Sexual Assault of a Child, contrary to Wis. Stats. (2). That charge carried a possible 40 year prison sentence with 25 years of exposure for initial confinement, along with 15 years of extended supervision.  The interesting issue, which garnered national media attention, was that at the same time, a young woman was charged with a misdemeanor for similar activity.. We resolved Alan's case with a misdemeanor, and he received probation.  You can see articles on the case that appeared on The Daily Beast (posted March 19, 2009), and another that appeared in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (Jim Stingl, Sunday, March 22, 2009).  You can also find a radio interview from Wednesday, March 25, 2009, on Seattle, WA radio station, KIRO, 97.3 FM, on Dave Ross' show.

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! Click  to read a few newspaper articles about some of my legal victories. 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.

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.
