Jane E Probst

I was referred to Attorney Jane Probst at a time that I was losing faith in attorneys. My post-divorce litigation was very complex, with children involved. Attorney Probst was not afraid to go up against my ex-husbands attorney. She was very organized, clear and concise with her plan. She is very kno...wledgeable about the Law and gave me confidence in my case at a time when I thought I was at a dead end. I highly recommend her; I wish I had found her at the beginning of my divorce.

I hired attorney Jane for my divorce process. I interviewed 15 attorneys in 3 weeks. Since the 1st time I talked to Jane She gave me the feeling of an honest strong and very professional attorney. Jane has the knowledge and experience to win and get things done. The day when the opposing attorney as...ked Jane what is a “vocational evaluation”? This reassured me that I was in good hands and Attorney Jane is an expert in terms about law. The opposing Attorney was learning new terminology from Attorney Jane! My first Attorney whom I hired felt intimidated by this Opposing Attorney, but Attorney Jane is a confidant woman and knows how to win an argument. Jane is very professional she helped my family immensely. She helped me through my legal custody and physical placement of my daughter. Jane has a system to respond in a Timely manner, and you will never get any surprises from her. Since the first time I talked to Jane I was very happy and grateful till the end of my divorce process. Jane speaks plain English to me, and when it comes to speaking and defending me in court, she is the best fighting back in the court room and most important she has the experience and knowledge. I will recommend Jane always. I had a bad experience with my first attorney that started my divorce, the way he acted made me feel like if I was dealing w/ a dictator. This first lawyer made me believe it would be difficult for me to get placement of my daughter even though there was so much evidence to prove she would be safer with me as did many lawyers I interviewed. This first attorney I hired saw me as a paycheck and not a human being he did nothing to help my divorce case. He just took my money that was the only thing he was good for, thank god I fired him and found Attorney Jane. With Attorney Jane I know I am in good hands and with a true Professional who knows what to do. Thank you Attorney Jane.

Jane believed in me and my case from the very beginning. Her compassion and dedication helped increase my son's placement with me from 36% to 50% without a drawn-out process. She knows how to navigate the system and some of the key players in the Waukesha County Family Court system. Furthermore, I ...would describe her as attentive and focused on the goal. I saw first hand Jane's skills in arguing with another attorney and citing Wisconsin State Statue without missing a beat. Needless to say she won the argument at hand, and during the proceeding discussed how she needed to protect me as her client anything less would be malpractice. In closing after one additional court battle and the initial divorce I regret not having Jane from the very beginning. Regardless, she has been by far the very best attorney for me and my son.

I love this lawyer. I hired her for a child custody case which started out very, very scary and contentous. Jane is extremely knowledgeable about law in this matter. She also knows the major court players of the counties in or near milwaukee. She uses this and unconventional, intelligent maneuvers t...o help your case.

We needed a lawyer in 2013 because our birth-mother was appealing her TPR of our adopted son to the State of Wisc. appeals court. Ms. Probst compassionately spoke with me, as well as thoroughly took the time to read through the case via court documents I brought to her office. I KNEW she had actuall...y read the case when she brought up different things contained in the reports. She said she could handle the case, but felt as though we would be in better hands if we went to an appellate attorney vs. an experienced adoption attorney such as herself. She even gave me a recommendation. THAT was extremely impressive and I never forgot it. Flash forward a year later, when due to many stressful times in our marriage, including almost losing our adoptive son, our marriage was disseminated and I had no other choice but to file for divorce. Who better than the honest, ethical and compassionate attorney who referred me to an appellate lawyer the year before to represent me, then Ms. Probst. It was our initial case that cemented the foundation of what type of an attorney I wanted to represent me. From the moment I spoke to Ms. Probst, through tears, she was very caring. I told her I had tried every other option and as a last resort was filing for divorce, with the hopes my then husband would come to his senses and choose his family over another woman. Sadly, he never woke up from the fantasy life he chose and divorce was imminent. Over the next TWO years the case dragged on because of financial, as well as other issues, including a very unreasonable soon to be ex-husband. Yet Jane remained persistent and focused in achieving what I wanted from day one, to be named his survivor for his pension, due to the fact we have two young adopted children and I had irrevocably named him mine when I retired years earlier. Fortunately for my young children, ages 4 and 7, we were able to secure this without having to go to trial! Jane is a tiny little spitfire who fights hard, yet is very fair and peacefully diplomatic with opposing counsel...one time I disagreed with what she told me regarding child custody as I wanted MORE time with my kids and it set me back, almost to my only getting 50/50 which would have devastated me. From that moment on, I ALWAYS deferred to her expertise and NEVER questioned it again. Jane enlisted the aide of a financial mediator who was well versed in the City of Milwaukee's Police pension system who helped get us closer to a resolution. She was very tactful and innovative in creative suggestions for resolutions regarding our property division. IF you are unfortunately someone that sadly has to take the path I had to and get divorced AND especially if you are someone who will have to consider dividing the City of Milwaukee's pension system, MS. PROBST is extremely well-versed in this area! IF you would like a further recommendation from me regarding Ms. Probst I have no problem with you giving your name and number to them and I would be happy to answer any of your questions from a clients perspective. ANYONE would be happy to have someone such as Ms. Probst represent them. She's ethical, has integrity of great character and responds quickly to emails/calls, fights hard and cares about you as her client, as well as your children who are also affected as a result of the divorce. I'm sorry you are having to even read this review, sadly I was you, but just know, Ms. Probst will do what is in the best interest of her client...while she is petite, do NOT let that sway you, dyn-no-mite comes in small packages :) !
