Jane Probst YOU ARE A ROCK STAR !!!!!!!~

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 !!!!!!

Citing from her mind...

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.

TPR and Step Parent Adoption

Absolutely no hesitation in giving Jane Probst 5 stars! Jane and her team have done an excellent and thorough job in representing us. From our first consultation with her, she dived right in with gathering whatever was needed to keep our case moving forward. She kept us very informed every step along... the way and every response was prompt. She, along with her team are very genuine; and that reflects in their work. You will not regret retaining this law office to represent you! We are forever grateful to her and her team for getting us our happy ending.

Knowledgable, Dependable, Tenacious

Jane is an expert at her craft! Her confidence and commitment to my case was evident at the first consult. She helped with my Divorce and was instrumental on explaining the parameters of the law. She will continue to be an asset going forward for any post marital and family issues should they arise.

Ethical, Compassionate, Supportive, and Hard Working

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 :) !
