Navigated a nasty allegation with ease

Rebecca Coffee provided excellent representation! I was acused of a serious crime due to an unnecessarily lengthy, and difficult divorce. Dealing with the alleged victim and her legal team was an incredibly trying and frustrating process. Rebecca knew when to strike, and when to let the case unfol...d naturally. Dealing with the issues of Milwaukee's backlog of criminal cases was difficult, but they handled it very professionally. She comprehensively explained the case, and prepared me thoroughly for trial. (Several times!) She was always willing to explain the legal maneuvering and course of action we were taking, and why. I always felt knowledgeable about what was going on in my case and the potential legal outcomes. We finally got to trial and were both very well prepared, so much so in fact that while ordering lunch, the jury delivered a not guilty verdict in less than 20 minutes. They also signed and VOIDED the guilty verdict paperwork. Showing they they were strongly aware of the circumstances and facts in my case. I thank Mrs. Coffee and her staff for guiding me through this arduous process with ease.

5 stars

In the spring of 2016 I ran into an OWI. I searched the Internet looking for quality representation and came across cross Mastantouno and Coffee SC. At my free consultation Rebecca accepted my case. She expressed great concern and eagerness towards my situation. Her promptness, intelligence and... honesty reassured me throughout my case. Rebecca was on time for every meeting and court date. Any email or phone call I sent was answered immediately or within a reasonable amount of time. The intelligence shown in the courtroom was above and beyond. I felt she was a step ahead of everyone. Ms. Coffee stuck to the law and fought hard for me. Do to a miss judgement I lost my case; however, Rebecca set me up for a great appeals case to fight. After the courts decision Rebecca told me that appeals cases were not her area of expertise. She directed me to a law firm that was willing to take my case with intensity. I believe that was very honest of her as well as giving me possible outcomes for my situation. In court I felt, heard and saw the respect given to Ms.Coffee from her peers. Acknowledging Rebecca's promptness, intelligence and honesty reassured me that I made the right decision.

Hardworking &Diligent

Fought tooth and nail when the odds were stacked against me and weren't in my favor. All charges were dismissed, and I remain my innocence in its entirety since day 1. I would highly recommend this attorney, she has more balls than most I had conversed with.

Best Attorney Hands Down

Rebecca is extremely professional and I could have never made a better choice in choosing an attorney to represent me! I was facing a facing a felony charge and with her help, it was dismissed.
