I came to this law firm after working for a short time with a previous lawyer who wasn't filing paperwork on time, in the beginning it seemed so much better. Her law firm did get a custody study for our case which was a very good thing, but everything else was an incredibly expensive disapointment. ... I worked with One of Probst's associates who although seemed nice was very incompetent in the courtroom, we had 2 humiliatingly bad losses in a row in which the opposing counsel completely dominated us. Not only was Probst's associate unprepared, but meek and afraid to speak up on my behalf IN COURT ROOM! The 2nd of the embarrassing losses was a restraining order case I filed because of Jane Probst recommendation herself, she later scolded me telling me what an unwise decision it was because of the incredibly high burden of proof needed for a restraining order. WHAT? I was taking the advice of my law firm! The first embarrassing loss was for withholding placement, my exhusband had been gone for 2 years, has a documented history of violence, and a woman in the house no one had met which the children claimed was hitting them..should have been easy to illustrate reasonable cause to withhold placement right? Nope, not only did we lose that hearing, but I was ordered to pay his attorney fees! Ultimately what ended our relationship was an appeal I filed for the first hearing. I talked to and confirmed with the associate my plan to appeal both by email (documented) and by phone. 2 weeks passed before Probst even noticed, and then severed the relationship for "acting outside of counsel" and immediately gossiped to the opposing counsel the details of why they were no longer working for me. In fact, within hours I received a message from my ex husband taunting me about it; in her own pettiness and unprofessional behavior not only could she not take responsibility for her own firm's negligence, she actually gave my opposition fuel against me. Probst ended up being completely unprofessional and unethical in the end, in fact during our last meeting the only part of our conversation she cared about was how much the opposing counsel might be making per hour. She also told me she was letting us go because it'd be impossible to win. Probst cutting ties was the best thing that happened to our case because with a new lawyer we did win, in fact we got everything I asked for. That associate by the way is no longer with the firm, I found out over the 2 months it took me to get a final statement from them.

My divorce started in 2014 with another attorney who did nothing for me other than collect a paycheck. That attorney just went through the motions, filed papers on my behalf ,had no compassion for my situation and I don't think she even knew my name half the time, but she definitely had her hand out ...for payment. As such, I fired my first attorney. After working with that attorney for several months, I hired another. My second attorney was more interested in how he appeared before the judge and was useless in helping me fight for my maintenance issues that I believed were unfair. Just like my first attorney, he went through the motions to collect his paycheck. After working with a second attorney for a my divorce, I was thousands of dollars in the hole. THEN I found JANE PROBST! Jane believed in me and my situation. She treated me as a person, with a life, and believed in my cause and did not view me as just another paycheck. Our first court appearance resulted in a reduction of my maintenance. The other two attorneys gave me no hope that I would ever get a reduction in maintenance payments unless I died. But JANE saw things differently. Jane gave me hope. And YES, WE GOT the reduction. For the first time, someone went to bat for me not once, but twice! She not only got maintenance TERMINATED but also got back pay to me from my ex. That is a HOME RUN in my book. Jane Probst went to bat for me. Had compassion, faith, and did the work that resulted in my LIFE BEING RETURNED TO ME. JANE PROBST, YOU ARE A ROCK STAR !!!!!!

My Divorce consultation with Jane was great. She clearly explained her services, her experience, answered my questions, and so I hired her. I talked to several divorce attorneys prior and I was 100% confident in Jane and 100% satisfied with the outcome. Based on my experience, I would definitely reco...mmend Jane Probst based on her extensive experience, professionalism, and staff.

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.
