Dan Exner

Firm: Exner Legal LLC

1433 N. Water Street , Milwaukee , Wisconsin 53202 Zip code: 53202

Practice Areas: Family

I can call myself a family litigation specialist because I exclusively handle cases that affect your family. I differentiate myself from other attorneys in my communication and advocacy style.. CommunicationYou would be shocked to learn that most litigators are terrible communicators. Apparently, they do not return their clients’ phone calls, ignore emails, and fail to meet with their clients prior to the next court date. Their clients end up in life-changing litigation completely stressed out because they do not know the status of their case. I know this to be true because I have two types of clients. The first who meet with me prior to filing any lawsuit and want to do it right. The second who hired these other attorneys and are completely frustrated with their case.. I will never understand this trend because attorneys talk for a living so who are these practitioners talking to if not their own clients? I view myself as not just a counselor and advocate but as a stress-reducer. The best way to reduce a client’s stress is with robust and effective communication. You are not in court every week like I am. This may be your first and only appearance before a Judge. The best way to get you through this process as painless as possible is to make sure you know exactly what to expect, say, and do.. AdvocacyAt the end of the day, I’m going to get you court orders that affect your life, not mine. This is your case. I am a tool to get you from where you are to where you want to be. Afterwards, if you never want to see me again professionally – great – that’s the goal.. Because this is your case, children, finances, etc., I am not going to tell you what to do. Lazy and arrogant attorneys tell their clients what to accept as an outcome as if they alone know what is best for all situations. I’m going to tell you what I think is reasonable, what your Judge may do, and what could be your best and worst case scenario, but ultimately you will decide on where to compromise and which issue(s) to litigate.. The Twin PillarsThese twin pillars of my practice are meant to shift the focus away from the attorney and back on the client. Most attorneys (and, therefore, law firms) care far too much about themselves. They spend inordinate amounts of money on the flowers in their foyer (true story), what kind of car they drive, or who has the “better office.”. You know who doesn’t care about that stuff? Your children. Who else? The Judge of your case. In today’s technology-forward society, you may only physically go to your attorney’s office once or twice in the entire case.

Practice Areas: Family

My legal career began in 1984 in the areas of general practice and litigation. Through the years my interest, energy and skills have led me to concentrate on family law which is now my sole area of practice. Since 2001 I have been a member of the Collaborative Family Law Council of Wisconsin and can offer the collaborative divorce process to my clients. I also offer services as a mediator, an arbitrator, a special master and Guardian ad Litem.. I believe that as a family lawyer it is my role to guide people through what is one of the most traumatic and stressful times of their life. I work hard to maintain stability and consistency for the children when they are separated into two households. I listen to my clients and advise them on what the law is while giving them options so they may assess for themselves the impact of their decisions on their future and their family.
