You have probably noticed there is more “asbestos/mesothelioma” related lawyer advertising in Wisconsin than anything else. What you may not realize is the majority of the attorneys and law firms that advertise here are not located in Wisconsin*. They get your business and then hand your case off to another law firm for a share of legal fees. These lawyers may have never even stepped inside of a Wisconsin or Illinois courtroom and you can bet that few, if any, have ever been here during the winter.

Other out-of-state law firms have gone so far as to put up a storefront in state and then act as if they are “Local” lawyers. If you visit the office, without an appointment, the office is vacant and your phone calls are forwarded out-of-state. Wisconsin and Illinois law is unique and your legal needs are unique as well.

When it comes to something as serious as you and your family being involved in legal proceedings in Wisconsin or Illinois, shouldn’t your lawyers know the difference between Menomonie and Menomonee Falls, Forest Park and Park Forest? We do.

*Read the fine print on the television and newspaper ads and you will learn that these attorneys acknowledge (as required by Wisconsin/Illinois law) that they are not licensed to practice law in Wisconsin or Illinois, but will promise to find or associate with a local lawyer if you hire them.
