Great Attorney and Very Nice Person!

I highly recommend Attorney Millenbach as she cared about me, my family, and my case and not only my money or feeding money into the legal system which was refreshing. Very well prepared, invested, and capable. Do yourself a favor and work with her straight away before wasting any money or time on ot...her attorneys.. Thank you so much attorney Millenbach.

Interstate divorce jurisdiction issue

I had a case come up early this year where my wife decided to move from our home in here in WV up to Wisconsin, and then began divorce proceedings against me up there. Very stressful 6 months for me, but once I connected with Rebecca she helped me manage the whole process, kept me well informed, and... kept my stress level to a minimum. I have worked with quite a few attorneys over the years, and I am not exaggerating when I say that in terms of work ethic, responsiveness, and attitude, Rebecca is absolutely the best of all of them! She almost makes me want to move to Wisconsin, just in case I have more legal issues that require an attorney. Well... emphasis on "almost". :) In all seriousness, I have never, ever seen an attorney that quick to respond to emails, voicemails, questions, etc... she really made me feel like my case was a priority to her, and her counsel was worth every dollar I paid. I wouldn't even think twice to hire her again... done deal. I recommend Rebecca 150% to anyone needing legal help.

Custody Modification..5 Star all the Way!! Highly recommended trusted attorney

My husband and I hired Rebecca Millenbach to represent us in a rather unpleasant child custody case with my husband’s ex-wife concerning custody of both their boys. My husband and I had to relocate to Surprise, Arizona due to a better job opportunity for myself and my husband injured lower back. Let’...s face it nobody wants to revisit a child custody case, especially one when one parent had to move out of the state of Wisconsin. It was a very stressful two year process, and we are so very thankful for Rebecca! There were many trips back and forth from Arizona to Wisconsin. Rebecca made our trips easier by keeping us well informed, calmed us down throughout the whole process, she was always honest, and straight with her answers, I liked that about her! There were many changes to the child custody case that Rebecca had to modify within those two years as well, remember this case wasn’t the easiest one. We had to have a Guardian at Liam appointed, needed a Psychologist review, went to trial. Then more changes to the child custody case the oldest son wanted to stay in Wisconsin with the mom, and the younger son wanted to live with us in AZ, which made the case more difficult, on top of the additional stress from the ex to continue try dragging the case on. Kids are rarely split up! But Rebecca worked diligently on every single bit of evidence, both ours and theirs. Rebecca worked hard to make sure she did all her research to ensure we had the best representation for our very involved case. Rebecca took every angle and was clearly one step ahead of the other attorney’s. Needless to say it was the best decision in the world to hire her! She won our case hands down! We received custody of our younger son. We were so very happy with her and how hard she worked for us. Rebecca is very easy to communicate with on all levels. Rebecca has a drive/compassion to do what is best for her clients. I highly recommend you to hire her today if you need a good lawyer on your side! You will not regret it! She is the BEST! And we owe everything to her.

clarification of divorce, child support, and all financial matters involved with the divorce.

My husband and I hired Rebecca Millenbach to represent us in a rather unpleasant case brought on from my husbands ex-wife concerning all the financial matters containing to their divorce settlement from many years ago. It was a very stressful several months, and we are so very thankful for Rebecca! ... She was very informative, and calmed us down throughout the whole process. Let's face it, no one wants to revisit an old divorce again! But through it all Rebecca worked diligently on every single bit of evidence, both ours and theirs, the divorce contract implications and meanings, all the laws in the state that had any direct influence on our case, etc..,etc.. Too much to mention. Rebecca worked overtime to make sure she did all her research to ensure we had the best representation for our very involved case. Needless to say it was the best decision in the world to hire her! She won our case hands down! We were so very happy with her and how hard she worked for us. Rebecca is very easy to communicate with on all levels. She makes lawyers look good. We are so very happy with her work ethic, and her drive to do the very best for her clients. Hire her today if you need a good lawyer on your side! You will not regret it!

great attorney

During a very stressful time, Rebecca took the time to explain things to me and helped me look at the pros and cons of each decision we needed to make for the divorce. She was willing to fight when necessary but yet had great people skills, was professional and had a great work ethic. She emailed me... back on weekends and even when she was on vacation. Rebecca was looking out for my best interests and I am glad I had her expertise and experience guiding us.
