Honest, Timely, Reliable

Upon the first conversation with Rebecca, she helped put our family at ease. She fights for what is right and also did not hesitate to tell me I had some work to do on myself in the mean time. With living an hour south of her office, we were able to Zoom, have private over the phone conversations, an...d correspond over emails. There were details of my case that I was unaware of that she brought to my attention. The staff at her office kept in touch with me to make sure of my successful recovery, and outcome even after the case was closed. 4 years incarceration was my original offer. We were able to settle with probation.

Highly skilled, knowledgeable, sensitive to issues of diverse populations.

Ms. Coffee did a stellar job representing my son and was also very compassionate, aware and adept with regard to unique challenges of diverse populations including mental health concerns, LGBTQ issues and social justice for People of Color. I highly recommend her, even for tough cases. She was expens...ive and yet worth every penny I had to borrow.

Saved my Life Best criminal lawyer in Milwaukee or Waukesha

I cannot say enough about the representation I received from Rebecca she literally saved my life. Facing 3 felonies and an enhancement charge facing 40+ years in Waukesha jail she got me 2 years probation is a miracle. She was very detailed kept me calm throughout the entire process and most importan...tly she knew what the hell she was talking about and showed it by her actions. There is no other lawyer in the state better in my opinion I watched her save my older brother life in 2016 so I already knew what she was capable of. Whatever amount she is asking for I promise you it will be worth every penny. I cannot thank her enough for my outcome

Timothy F

I am a business professional and ran into an issue with the city of Milwaukee. I am very impressed with this law firm as well as attorney Rebecca M. Coffee. I had reached out to other lawyers and never even got a call back. I submitted the request and they communicated with me the following day and... set up the discovery phone call. They were very easy to communicate with and treated me with the utmost respect. Rebecca was able to reach out to the prosecutor and find an alternative solution to the issue. This would not have been available without her knowledge, connections, and follow through. I am very satisfied with my outcome and will refer anyone i know to this law firm. Professional, honest, communicated well and has the connections to get things accomplished. Highly recommend!
