Long time legal conuncil

Our family has relied on the legal council of Sweet and Maier for many years. They have been with us through a variety of legal actions including trusts,real estate affairs and wills. In my association with Sweet and Maier they have always displayed the highest level of professionalism I have ever e...xperienced. John

Real Estate Transaction

I used Sweet & Maier for closing on a cottage purchased in Wisconsin. The cottage was owned by an individual with a clear title and I was purchasing with cash, so no Real Estate Agent or mortgage was needed to complete the sale. All that was needed was a Title Search and selling contract and a titl...e transferred and filing. The former owner had used Sweet and Maier on the prior like transaction so they were already fully aware of property and the circumstances for finalizing the transaction. They provided me with a quote for the completion of the transaction and honored that price for all that was needed to be done. Recently, I worked with their office to set up an immediate transfer of title to the same cottage to relatives, to avoid Probate, should something happen to my wife and I. They are great people to work with and I will use them again for any future requirements I may have on my Wisconsin property. I highly recommend them.

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.
