Joanne Kay Leifheit

The time had come to review our old wills, and create a trust. We really benefited from her free seminars, no pressure whatsoever. She really shared lots of information, answered any questions. Atty Leifheit's staff was excellent, and very accommodating. Her staff did as much of the leg work as p...ossible. We met 4 times at her office, and each time every step was thoroughly explained. Very upfront about fees. No regrets, this was a perfect choice for us.

I attended a free estate planning workshop in March of 2018 that attorney Joanne Leifheit offers at her office in Pewaukee Wisconsin. Participants were able to ask questions that Joanne listed on the board and patiently answered. It was most informative. Joanne also told stories that spoke to her d...epth of understanding and legal experience. We were given a folder with a questionnaire to complete prior to a consultation with Joanne. I met with Joanne individually at the end of March to discuss my need for a Will and Power of Attorney for Finances and Property. In April of 2018 I signed my Will and Power of Attorney at Joanne’s office. I was nervous because it is not easy to get these legal matters in order. Joanne and her team make it a comfortable experience and you have confidence she has given you good legal advice. The office is organized and efficient. It has a homey environment with tea, coffee, pie at the workshop, bird feeders outside the windows, and is a great location in Pewaukee. I recommend attending the free workshop as a first step to get your estate plans in order. Thank you Joanne.

I sought out Attorney Joanne Leifheit to develop Trust and Estate planning documents for myself and my husband, and also a separate document for my elderly mother. Attorney Leifheit was highly recommended by the Aging, Disability, and Resource Center and has been recognized as one of the area's lea...ding lawyers for 4 consecutive years in a row by Milwaukee Magazine. Attorney Leifheit specializes in Elder Law, Medicaid and Estate Planning. She regularly lectures and conducts seminars on many of these topics. Attorney Leifheit listened to our desires, answered all questions, and researched issues where indicated. She was very patient and kind to us all and took extra care to ensure that my mother was fully involved in the decision-making process and understood the documents. When my mother subsequently passed away 2 years after the documents were implemented, I was able to avoid paying unnecessary taxes on her estate and without the requirement of appearing in probate court. Implementation of the trust also eased the inheritance distribution process. When my mother's house sold shortly after her death, Attorney Leifheit expedited interactions with the realtor, county court house, and title company. In addition to the above skills, she has integrity, is dependable and has a thorough attention to details. I whole-hardheartedly recommend, without any reservations whatsoever, Attorney Joanne Leifheit.

When my husband and I decided to finally get our "ducks in a row" as far as our estate planning is concerned, we were clueless on where to start. I attended and estate planning seminar that Atty. Leifheit holds several times a month. I was so impressed with her professionalism, the seminar informat...ion, and her presentation! I am mediately made an appointment for my husband and I to sit down and talk with her. She is so personable, and her office staff so professional! We now have a new trust set up, healthcare issues resolved, and we feel as though a huge weight has been lifted off our shoulders. I would not hesitate to recommend Atty. Leifheit for any estate planning needs. She is remarkable!
