Jean M. Ansay

I hired Jean to represent me for the relocation of my daughter outside of the US. Her thorough understanding of the law and guidance through the entire process was incredible. Jean was particular on details of completing necessary paperwork with me for preparation in meeting with the guardian at li...tem assigned to the matter. She ensured the entire process was handled for the best possible outcome. Her knowledge and reputation in the community helped solidify the case. I would highly recommend Jean for any of her expertise's and would hire her again without question.

Thank You Attorney Jean Ansay, Some historical information so you can understand how incredible Attorney Ansay is as a lawyer and a human being!! I will probably refer to her as Jean or Jean Ansay throughout because she was much more to me than just my attorney!! My partner and I were in the pr...ocess of selling our business and unfortunately I was personally going through a divorce at the same time in WI, a marital property state with a marriage of 30+ years. Both were extremely stressful along with the duties of running the business. I hired O'Neil, Cannon, et all in Milwaukee, WI to handle both as they represented to me it would be better for the sale of the business. The attorney who represented me in the divorce at that time was recommended by the firm. He was clearly not prepared, did not understand business, he never had time for me and took no steps to thwart the constant barrage of demands from my wife & her attorney. We were slaughtered in the "Temp Order" hearing because he had me fill out my income incorrectly. On top of that he advised against a "De Novo" to reverse that outcome. From the beginning I was told to take the "emotion" out of the divorce; that may be easy to say but clearly he had never faced loosing everything!! After almost a year of mounting legal bills, and even more caving to the other side, I asked the president of the firm to recommend another attorney or I would leave the firm. Jean Ansay was his choice and quite honestly I was not happy she was not my attorney from the start. Jean represented the firm in Ozaukee County, the county of my divorce. I looked up Jean's profile and saw she had practiced family law for 30+ years, handled many cases involving business ownership, was considered an authority in business finance and had the respect of judges from all over WI. This may seem like an unrealistic statement but Jean Ansay saved my life.....literally and figuratively. I was going crazy with worry, getting beat at every turn and frustrated with the lack of business knowledge from all family practice attorneys and the courts system. Jean & I had our struggles in the beginning because I have extensive knowledge of contract law in business and strong opinions on how to handle the case. Jean was the very FIRST attorney that helped me understand that in "family law" the judge had two responsibilities vs any other legal matter; to be fair and follow the law with very broad discretion. Though lying in court would be the end of that party in other legal situations, in family court apparently they need to understand that people lie. The court must still be fair, especially to the party who did not own or run the business. Jean Ansay has the respect of every court because she NEVER lies nor would she tolerate it from her clients. Her reputation was well known throughout WI for being well prepared, knowledgeable, ethical, respectful (to both the judge and opposing counsel) and above all.....honest no matter the outcome. While lying may be acceptable in today's world, it was not to me nor to Jean Ansay; that put us on the same page. Jean was also the first person to "respectfully" let me know "my place". Although I may not have liked it, I respected her for it. Her demeanor throughout the 2+ year divorce was steady and unflappable. Opposing counsel said some pretty slanderous things and was quick to throw out anything....provable or not. I wanted vengeance.....I needed a WIN! Jean wanted what was fair and equitable despite what was going on around her. In conclusion; Jean Ansay is deserving of this long recommendation because she is more than just words on a page, she became a friend in my time of need. In the end I didn't get everything I wanted but I didn't give-up everything I could have; it was FAIR! If you want someone to give you outstanding representation, and treat you like a person who matters, there is only one choice; her name is Jean Ansay! Respectfully, Tim

If you want a divorce attorney who possesses an extremely thorough knowledge of legal ins-and-outs, a shrewd, tough negotiator who will scrutinize your issues from every possible angle to ensure an optimal outcome for her clients; someone who drives a tough bargain, but who is particularly adept in ...the art of negotiation and compromise when the situation calls for that, then Jean Ansay is the legal expert you need in your corner. She is not likely to be the cheapest, but her unique combination of comprehensive knowledge of law and business-like but personable approach creates the finest attorney around! Jean Ansay is invaluable as an ally, but quite a formidable opponent! You will want her on YOUR side!! (I will FOREVER be SO glad she was on MINE!)

Attorney Ansay was a perfect advocate for me, because she employed the tool I value the most: Common Sense. In her arsenal also was honesty: she would advise me when it was time to let an issue "go". I value her opinion, insights, and knowledge of the law. I felt listened to and respected througho...ut the process.

Attorney Jean Ansay did an outstanding job representing me, and along with her truly caring staff, supported me through the most difficult time of my life. She guided me through a complicated case with determination; skillfully advising me utilizing her vast legal expertise. Words are inadequate to e...xpress my heartfelt thanks for everything Attorney Ansay did. I highly recommend her!
