Outstanding Experience!

My accident resulted in injuries including multiple rib fractures and a totaled car. We tried for over a year to work with the at-fault driver’s insurance co thinking we didn’t want to involve attorneys. There was so much back and forth, and the insurance co wouldn’t even make themselves available be...fore 8:30 or after 4:30 because it wasn’t convenient for them. They assigned different reps ranging from ‘Claims Generalist Associate’, ‘Claims General Int (does this mean intern?)’, etc. So frustrating! Then they gave me a lowball offer saying they wouldn’t go higher. I asked close friends for the name of the attorney who had successfully handled their case decades ago – Attorney Fehring. From the first contact with Attorney Fehring and his paralegal Shannon, they handled my case respectfully and professionally; advising what they thought and outlining options. In the end, they were able to secure far more than we were while they handled all the interactions. Thank you to Atty Fehring and Shannon. I appreciate all you did to help me through this.

Great every step of the way!

Larry was recommended to me by a co-worker after I had been injured in an automobile accident. From the initial consultation through the settlement, Larry thoroughly explained every step of the process at the appropriate time. He always kept me updated on the status of my case. I rarely had need t...o ask a question but when I did, Larry or someone on his staff always returned my call or email promptly. Larry worked hard all the way to the end to get the best possible settlement. The entire post-accident experience with Larry and his staff could not have been better - I would highly recommend Larry to anyone in need of a personal injury attorney.

Choose Him

Laurence Fehring has my unequivocal and enthusiastic recommendation. I have a difficult time envisioning an individual who chooses Mr. Fehring and comes to second-guess the decision. My knowledge of the Milwaukee legal community runs broad and deep. A car accident at the end of calendar year 201...2 -- caused by the negligence of another driver -- left me with injuries, bouncing around from physician to physician and from one physical therapy session to another. Mr. Fehring's name found its way to my "short list" of lawyers for a potential representation. After one preliminary consultation I knew he was the lawyer I wanted. In our initial meeting he manifested kindness, authenticity, amiability, strong listening skills, and more than a measure of wisdom. As time unfolded he proved to be especially -- in some circumstances nearly instantaneously -- responsive to all inquiries I posed via email. No less important, the team of assistants with which he works consistently struck me as every bit as diligent, skilled, and caring as Mr. Fehring, bespeaking (I am speculating here; but I'm comfortable doing so) the talent he and his partners have for training others. My claim against the insurer of the negligent driver settled out prior to any complaint being filed -- as Mr. Fehring had indicated in our initial meeting is the case with more than 85% of the representations he undertakes. I was pleased it did -- even though, at times, my anger at the negligent driver engendered in me the desire to tell my story on the witness stand. To repeat, to my mind Laurence Fehring is both an outstanding lawyer and a terrific person. Having the two rolled into one makes for a can't miss choice.

Understanding and Very Approachable

I was hurt in a car accident 3 years ago. I was swamped with paperwork from both health and car insurance. As soon as Larry and his team took over, I did not have to worry about anything and everything was taken care of. He made sure I understood what was going at all times. Larry always responded t...o my questions in a timely and professional manner. He is very approachable and the best lawyer out there. Highly recommend!!

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.
