I would recommend to anyone!

Rudy helped me through one of the worst situations of my life. I bought a house that I quickly found out had many undisclosed issues and he fought for everything I was entitled to. He was great at responding quickly & answering all of my questions. He gave good advice & saved me from what could have ...completely bankrupt me & my family. I would recommend Rudy to anyone!

Great Attorney

Rudy helped me and my family with a case about a home we purchased that had a lot of issues which weren’t disclosed by the seller. He was kind, compassionate, knowledgeable and friendly. His assistant Marnie was also very kind and responsive to our questions and concerns. I recommend him to anyone de...aling with foundation and basement issues.

One of the best litigation attorney

I had to use Rudolph J Koss on one of the residential house litigation based on the feedback from our friend. Rudolph is amazing and I really like the fact, the way he takes time to understand our issue, verifies the fact first and then advises pros and cons of the issue. Then he explains how he will... address the issues along with what we need to do. He will provide timely update and once the issue is resolved. I am really thankful to Rudolph for getting resolution on our issue. If you have litigation to be addressed then Rudolph is the guy to goto.

Excellent service, thorough, and competent

I needed help selling a property without a real estate agent. Rudy provided excellent guidance, drafted necessary documents, and clearly explained all the steps. I felt I was in great hands, and was extremely satisfied with the outcome. I would strongly endorse Rudy's experience and skill in handling... residential real estate matters.

Wow! All I can say is Wow!

I'm a small business owner in Southern WI so my time is valuable. I tried to work with a local general practice law firm thinking it might be the best way to go trying to settle a residential realestate matter. $3000 and 3 months later I felt overwhelmed and panicked as I could see the local attor...ney was in over her head. I fired her and then stumbled upon Mr. Kuss. I feel comfortable calling him Mr. Kuss because he is so humble and is not caught up in the title he rightly deserves. "Best Realestate Attorney Ever". He was kind, down to earth and did not confuse me with legal jargon. With two letters he was able to provide a settlement within 15 days. I felt so at peace after hiring him. Mr. Kuss may not want me to say this but I'm going to anyway. My wife and I have 4 children at home and to pay $3000 to our original attorney for no results was a huge punch to the stomach for our family. To our surprise, when everything was done Mr. Kuss said he was not going to charge us for any of his services as we had already paid an attorney $3000 which he felt was way to much to begin with. If you need advice or representation in the realestate area, I highly recommend Mr. Kuss. Thanks for Everything Rudy!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
