Ann S. Rothstein

Ann Rothstein isn't afraid to walk out of your situation with new enemies. We sat and fought in the mediation of my divorce and placement for hours until we walked out with almost 50% placement and no child support order. I hired Ann in a second case and recommended her to a family member who is goin...g through a divorce who will also hire Ann.

Not being from the area, I interviewed multiple lawyers trying to find the right lawyer to take on my daughters divorce and child custody case. My first conversation with her set her apart from all others as she talked to me herself for quite sometime to get details this is before she was ever hired.... She gave me great specific and honest facts about Wisconsin laws, what we were facing and how we would need to approach the case. We hired her and she jumped right in, was available anytime. This is something very rare in a lawyer. She is one of a kind. I found her to be great in and out of the courtroom. She guided us to a relatively quick divorce with equal shared custody and placement. This was not an easy case, but she made it happen. Also, as for her as a person, she is just like family. She is so caring and truly has been there for us and with us. We just love her as a lawyer and a friend.

let's just say that my divorce was one of the most difficult Ann can recall in recent years. Throughout the entire process, Ann consistently kept me informed, and gave great legal advice. Through the many hurtles and hoops we have to jump through, and was persistent in making sure that my needs were ...met. She was available for me 24 seven no matter what time and what the case was. I am so blessed that attorney Rothstein was by my side through my trial, and there is no doubt that my positive outcome was because of her. In Wisconsin, there is no doubt that mothers normally come out with a judges decision favorable, but in our case she fought for the right decision. We met multiple times working on briefs and other documents for the court and I appreciated that. She wanted my input and value my input to make sure all the facts were represented properly. She looked out for me and I will forever be grateful. And isn't just a lawyer, she is an extension of my family and cares about all of her family members. From the bottom of my heart and for my children, words can't explain how indebtedI am to you. You are amazing and thank you so much!

I normally don’t write reviews for anything but I felt like I needed to after I read the review that says she makes her clients do all the work.  I’m a little in awe as to where this person is coming from.  No one knows your case better then you and no one should care more about it then you.  Ann gen...uinely cares about helping you but you need to care as well.  She might ask you to type something up or make a phone call.  Big deal.  She keeps her operating costs down so she can pass the savings on to her clients.  It sounds like this person didn't care enough to get off their lazy ass.  It’s your battle with your ex, if you don’t want to fight it then no one will be able to help you.  If you actually care, Ann will help make the best out of a bad situation.  She’s the best guide/ally one could hope for.

Ann is amazing. I chose Ann after a failed attempt at collaborative divorce. The whole collaborative process had left a bad taste with lawyers who charged me a retainer and then for hours and hours of meetings that did little to nothing to move me toward divorced. Ann cut through all the baloney that... I was getting from the other attorneys and helped move me from frustrated to divorced. She doesn’t have a swank office that you visit and get charged for every moment you are there. She doesn’t have staff that answer her phone and charge you when they send a fax. Ann simply tells you where you stand, what you should do and gets things done. Listen to her. The first weeks working with her she laid it out simply for me and over the following months I took her lead and I ended up with shared placement and custody of my son (which my former wife was adamant that I would NEVER have). Everyone knows Ann in the courts. She is tough, she is usually right and she is fair.
