Best Family Law Attorneys in Wausau, WI

Our firm takes pride in the quality of our work and in our ability to keep our fees reasonable and competitive in northeast Wisconsin. Just as the length of a divorce is hard to predict, no attorney can predict what a contested divorce will cost because we never know what the other side is going to do. The cost is closely related to the time spent working on your case (divorce lawyers get paid on an hourly basis). We work hard to be as efficient as possible in moving your case to a conclusion. The best way of ensuring the case stays within a budget is by making sure that each client is properly attended to and communicated with throughout their case. Our experienced, compassionate, and (when needed) aggressive attorneys focus on the individual needs of each client. As a result, we will not be your least expensive option for a divorce lawyer nor will we be your most expensive. Instead, we strive to offer our clients exceptional legal service for the best value possible.
