Legal case vs. state of WI licensing board

Our practice had an issue with the state of Wisconsin. Chuck handled the case in a timely manner. The state was difficult to work with. He got through all the red tape and we prevailed in the case.

"While Chuck's experience speaks for itself, there is nothing he can't help you with. Chuck is not only one of the finest attorneys I know, he is an incredible person. He is always willing to help no matter what the issue is, and if he doesn't know the answer (rarely happens) he will make sure you speak to someone who does know. I highly endorse Attorney Blumenfield. Anyone would be incredibly lucky to have him as their lawyer."

"Attorney Blumenfield has for years organized an annual conference in recent developments in Wisconsin criminal defense law. I attended two such conferences while in law school; they were top notch. Further, Atty. Blumenfield is a very active and knowledgeable participant in the statewide criminal defense listserv. If you need criminal defense in the Milwaukee area and beyond, contact him!"

Speeding and traffic ticket lawyer | Feb 05

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I endorse this lawyer. I had some questions regarding procedure in the Milwaukee court system and Chuck took the time to contact me and offer to discuss the matter as the local procedure was much different to what I am accustomed to in other parts of the state. Chuck was very helpful and very knowledgeable on the subject. I would recommend Mr. Blumenfield to anyone looking for a traffic attorney in the Milwaukee area."

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.
