Worst Attorney in Wisconsin

Took our money and did NOTHING... After months of trying to get a very simple thing accomplished, we were forced to find another attorney. The new firm accomplished in 2 days what Straub couldn't do. He hides behind caller ID to only answer calls from new paying customers.... steer clear at all cost... !!!

Very professional and committed to his clients

I called multiple firms but Atty. Straub was the only one who took my call and took the time to explain everything. We had a horrible experience with another immigration attorney who stole our money and didn’t file what we paid him to do. However I contacted Atty. Straub and he was able to do an emer...gency filing.

Wonderful Experience, Great Lawyer

Attorney Straub was recommended to us by a friend in the legal field. Not knowing much about immigration, we were hesitant and nervous to contact him. After a few emails, we were able to set up an initial consultation with Attorney Straub. We had many questions, but he explained everything in a very ...clear and easy to understand way. He answered all questions promptly and without hesitation. His knowledge and experience in the field was clear and made us feel much more comfortable with our situation. Attorney Straub is a very courteous and experienced lawyer who is great with his clients. After the initial consultation, we immediately knew we wanted to hire him for our case. Less than a year after our initial consultation, we got our case resolved and Attorney Straub helped us every step of the way. We really appreciated his constant reassurance and guidance throughout the entire process. We would highly recommend him to anyone.

Horrible, arrogant man with 0 people skills.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. If there were 0 stars, I would give it to him. He's a very rude, arrogant man that had zero people skills. We agreed on a certain consultation fee over the phone and made an appointment, and when I got there, he completely upped the price and claimed and lied about what was discu...ssed over the phone. I politely asked him about what the new price would cover and what I would need to pay going forward, and he got angry and told me to see another attorney. That's very unprofessional and rude. A client should be able to discuss pricing without the attorney getting upset. He should also work on his people skills. Highly do not recommend. There are plenty of amazing attorneys out there who actually got into their job to help people, instead of being rude and arrogant towards them and lying about pricing.

Replied last September 17, 2019

The potential client was quoted our standard initial consultation fee of $250, which has been the same for at least the last 10 years. When it was clear there was a misunderstanding regarding the fee, the client attempted to negotiate a lower price of $50. The attorney was not rude or angry and answered questions regarding what would occur during the consultation, which typically lasts 45 minutes to one hour. The client wanted the attorney to describe what solution would be offered before paying the fee, which is impossible for an attorney to ethically do without obtaining information from the consultation.

  • 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.
