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!

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.
