Takes the Time to Answer all of your Questions

Attorney Lindgren has been a great source of knowledge and advice during a particularly rough time for myself as well as my family. She always made sure that she answered my questions to my satisfaction and made herself as available to me as her time would allow. When she is working with you, you a...lways know that you have her undivided attention. We really have appreciated her attention and expertise in our legal matters.

Excellent resource

Kathleen was an extremely helpful resource for me while dealing with a landlord issue. She is very thorough and prompt in her responses, and always very professional. I will not hesitate to seek out her services again, should I ever need legal assistance in the future.

Awesome advocate

Kathleen was our attorney for our daughters death. She did her best to make it to every court appreance that we needed her for. She was an awesome advocate for us with our meeting with one of the Milwaukee district attorney's. She was a God send to us with her facilitating a meeting with the DA's off...ice when we could not contact the DA ourselves. she was very helpful in answering questions when they arose. She went above the call of duty for us. I would recommend her and her firm again to my friends.

Saved the day

I needed legal assistance in a pinch and was able to 100% count on her service and took care of things while I needed to be out of town. Not sure what I would have done without her. Was grateful for the recommendation and she exceeded at all levels.
