Changed my life
Atty Koch walked me through every step of my high conflict child custody case. My case was very contentious.

When you are in the thick-of-it regarding divorce, custody, and placement in Walworth County I couldn’t recommend ...
"I have been in numerous mediations with attorney Koch as well as having been opposing counsel in a number of family law matters. He has always conducted himself in a professional and courteous manner. I have never felt that he was unprepared or unnecessarily litigious. I have referred him clients and would again."
"I endorse this lawyer. Steve is an extremely knowledgeable attorney who really looks out for his clients. In addition, he is well respected by his peers."
