About Todd

Learn Todd’s areas of practice.

I am a life long resident of Sheboygan and happy to be representing the people of my community.  I am married and the proud father of four children.

 

I take my client's cases personally because I truly care about their lives.  I know that sounds strange and foolish to some but it motivates me to achieve success for them. 

 

I am not a "yes" lawyer.  There are to many of them out there and they damage the reputation of my profession.  My clients do not want me to simply be a rubber stamp for their ideas.  My job is to help them understand their options and to guide them in choosing the best option for their present and future.

Fighting for What’s Right
Attorney Basler represented me in a custody/placement case for daughter. From the very first conversation I had with Todd he assured me he would fight for what was right, and if that wasn’t in my favor, he wouldn’t represent me. I appreciated his integrity and respected his straightforward candor. Thankfully Todd always believed that what was in my child’s best interest was being placed primarily with me and he kept his word and fought for what was right. He was prepared and calculated in all his legal presentings and he made me feel confident that I would be treated fairly in a court I feared may never place a young child with her father vs her mother. I am so grateful that Attorney Basler was so knowledgeable and well respected in the Sheboygan County Courthouse. It spoke volumes to them the he was honored to represent me and that made me feel like I had made the right choice. I will always recommend Attorney Basler to anyone who is fighting for what is right because that is exactly what he does.

A True Pro
Attorney Basler was recommended to me and shepherded me through a divroce. My divorce was lengthy and my ex wife tried to throw about everything she could at me. Attorney Basler was excellent in assisting in response and always stressed the long game. He was right, and in the end, his advice proved very correct and I ended up getting the better of my ex wife. We never got to trial, thanks largely to Attorney Basler's work, thank heavens. Attorney Basler navigated the opposing attorney's legal onslaught excellently and through his and his assistant's professionalism, made opposing counsel and her firm look bush league. In summary, extreme professionalism, mastery navigaton of tactics, and though it thankfully never came to it, I think Attorney Basler would have owned opposing council in a trial. Highly recommended.

Highly Recommend!
Attorney Todd Basler represented me for my divorce. Todd is extremely knowledgeable in all areas surrounding a divorce. The level of professionalism was outstanding. Todd showed compassion and kindness as well as helped me to see the humor in certain aspects of the case. Every phone call and email was promptly returned. We were able to settle before trial and I walked away from that completely satisfied. Todd truly cares about his clients and it shows in everything he does. He will fight for you. I recommend Todd with the knowledge that he will do everything he can for you and your case; you will not be disappointed.

HIGHLY recommend
If you want someone who is going to fight for you as hard as you would yourself this is the right man for the job. Attorney Basler is an amazing attorney who works hard and efficiently. He's personable but he's not someone who's going to tell you what you want to hear and then fail to deliver. We would not be where we are today without him as our attorney and we could not be happier with how he handled our case.

Amazing Person - Great Lawyer
Attorney Basler helped me navigate through changes to custody and placement years after my divorce. Our situation was difficult and he was with me every step of the way. He truly does advocate for children and will provide his fair and realistic advice and services to make sure every case is given thoughtful consideration. He was able to successfully help me reach agreement with my ex husband and my daughter and we are so happy we trusted him with our case.

Very good divorce lawyer
Todd Basler was my attorney for a very long drawn out divorce of almost 19 months. Todd had a stategy from day 1 to help me get shared placement of my 3 kids, and get a very fair divorce. Over those 19 months there were many instances that tested my patience from my ex-wife, but Todd never wavered once and stuck to his original strategy and he was very successfull in getting me the things I found to be most important. I got to know Todd and his assistant Christy quite well and they handled everything in my case very professionally and I am proud to know them. I recommend Todd Basler very highly to anyone who needs good, fair, and professional representation.

A very good listener at a very difficult time
Todd was great at listening through the whole divorce process , and not just about my case but also about my life . He showed empathy at a difficult time when it was needed but not expected.

Personal Injury Due To Car Accident
Attorney Todd Basler worked tirelessly for many years to settle my injury from a car accident. Not only did he provide his professional expertise, Todd showed compassion and friendship during a most difficult time of surgery and recovery. My case ended up going to trial. I saw first hand Todd's work in the courtroom. He was amazing. Todds professionalism along with his deep knowledge of personal injuries due to accidents, determination for truth and compassion telling my story..we won my case. I recommend Todd with true respect and a grateful heart.

Faith guided lawyer
I was I client of attorney Basler's and he treated me like an equal. The positives he showed were informing me of his morals and guiding me in a way where I could trust his judgement. He was fair, honest, and showed he was a real person outside of his job. He took control, always kept me informed when he needed to and let me focus on me instead of the case. I would highly recommend Todd for anyone's future concerns.

Happily Divorced!! :-)
Todd had my best interests at heart right from the get-go. I know at the onset of my divorce I was thinking that he was dragging his feet and I was getting upset that things were not moving very fast, BUT.... that being said I am a person of action. I am a bit impatient and needed to be reminded that in the end he would come through for me. My ex-husband (now) was such a jerk from the onset of being served his divorce papers and in the beginning I really thought that I wanted to stay in our house, and I wanted "stuff" but again Todd helped me realize it was only a house and "stuff". I cannot remember a time when I have been happier. Thank you Todd and staff. He has since assisted me in my will and final estate paperwork and also is now working on my personal injury case as well. He is your GUY!!! He is a God fearing, respectful, diligent and top notch attorney.

Outstanding Lawyer and Individual
Todd was more than amazing. He represented me in an almost 3 year long divorce. He worked tirelessly, including meeting with me on a Sunday because it was the only time available. Todd was always “more than prepared”! I often felt that I was his only case and I know that was not true. When it was needed Todd always provided the right words to help reassure me and/or get me to concentrate on what was important. He was a friend, priest when it was needed and an amazing lawyer.

Son’s Custody Case
I was in basically a year long custody case with my son’s father. He took me back to court for placement of our son but he was never really around in the first place. I’m only 24 years old and I was very scared about the whole process. Todd helped me so much along the way. He made sure to inform me of everything going on, he explained everything very well to make sure I understood what was exactly happening, he told me what I should do and what I shouldn’t do to help my case, etc. He was very straight forward and blunt and told me what I needed to hear instead of just what I wanted. He made sure I knew the reality of the situation. I, of course, wanted everything, all placement but Todd helped me realize that no matter what, my son’s father would be getting something at the end of it and I will have to accept that I won’t have my son 24/7. It sucked to go through that but Todd definitely helped me get through it. He responded back to me as soon as he was available and always made time. I had an accident in the middle of my case and Todd even checked up and asked if I was doing okay. Todd represented my father and helped him very much as well in a case of his own so he has helped my family greatly. I don’t think I would’ve accomplished as much as I did without Todd.

Experienced, candid, genuine support
Todd and his staff were the help that my daughter and myself needed to allow me to be a meaningful part of her life. This was a challenging situation that unfortunately had no other option left but litigation. It was ultimately necessary to have psychological evaluations conducted in order to bring the truth to light, and Todd understood and helped facilitate this. Furthermore, he was instrumental in delivering the reality of this conflicted situation to the court so it could be addressed accordingly. This all contributed to a final judgement that was just and fair, and most importantly gave my daughter the opportunity for me to be a meaningful part of her life. His paralegals, Christy and Christen, provided accurate and punctual case information to me and answered my questions within one business day. I certainly appreciated having this information to stay on top of the situation. Todd is a father of 4 children, which I believe helps guide his efforts truly towards the "best interests" of children. His heart was invested in my case, and that went a long way for me. If you're looking for a shyster lawyer with the intent of circumventing the shortcomings of your parenting and/or poor behavior, look elsewhere. If you're looking for an attorney that will go the distance to fight for your fundamental rights to be a great parent for your child, call this man.

Straightforward and HIGHLY Recommended
We had a tough, almost year long, divorce that involved three young children. Todd always kept the needs of my children as the number one priority. He is very straightforward and honest, whether you want to hear it or not. And because of this I never felt surprised or caught off guard. I felt informed each step of the way. He also made himself available as much as he possibly could. An added bonus- his assistants Christy and Christen are amazing as well! We had a VERY favorable outcome for myself and for my children. I am so thankful he was recommended to me.

Straightforward and Sincere
Attorney Basler assisted me through a very contentious divorce. He maintained the highest level of integrity and professionalism throughout the process. His strong background in finance was very beneficial in mediation. I am completely satisfied with Attorney Basler and his entire staff and highly recommend him.

Very Trustworthy
I've needed Todd twice. Once for divorce and once for a custody battle. The reason I recommend Todd is for his honesty. He will listen to your side but give you the reality of the situation. He has always given me both sides of the possible outcomes so I'm fully aware of what to expect. He is a lawyer that will do what's best for the children involved. I appreciate the cold hard truth whether it was in my favor or not. He is great at returning calls and emails. I also appreciated his assistants who were able to help get messages to him when he was unavailable. I cannot say enough about Todd, he really cares for his clients. I highly recommend him.

Endorse Todd
Personal injury Attorney | Aug 20
Relationship: Other
"I endorse this lawyer. As a divorce mediator the last 2 years and a judge the 22 years before that, I have watched Todd work. He is thorough and aggressive. High integrity."
Personal injury Attorney | Aug 10
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"Todd is a true champion and advocate for his clients. Some lawyers are reluctant to file lawsuits and take a case to trial because it means more work for them. Instead, they will attempt to persuade their clients to take whatever the insurance company's final offer is. Todd is not one of those lawyers. If he does not believe the insurance company is being fair, he will tell his client that, and is willing to do the hard work necessary to either get the insurance company to change its position or else go through a trial to have a jury show the insurance company the error of its ways."
Personal injury Attorney | Aug 09
Relationship: Other
"I endorse this lawyer. Todd and I have been working together for many years. If I ever needed a lawyer, I would want Todd because of his dedicated, zeal and drive to win."
Family Attorney | Feb 09

"Attorney Basler is a fantastic, aggressive attorney who gets results. He is extremely well versed in the law and will explore every avenue on behalf of his clients. If you are in need of a wonderfully skilled family law attorney, I highly recommend Attorney Basler without hesitation."
