Best Attorney in Wisconsin

Attorney Hart was so helpful, honest and understanding. He always went above and beyond for everything and made me feel like I wasn't just another case. Attorney Hart would always explain things to me so I knew exactly what was going on and was never confused. I will never use another attorney agai...n. He is the best!

Excellent Trail Attorney

Mr. Richard Hart is an excellent trial attorney. He meticulously/methodically probed and illuminated decrepencies in the prosecutions' case against my loved one. Ultimately, Mr. Richard Hart's professionalism garnered the respect of the prosecutor as well as the jurors. He educated the jur...ors about the law, and there responsibility to adhere to it as they examined evidence in their quest for the truth.

excellent help and advice with administration of our Fathers estate

Richard was very helpful to me and my family, First, he assisted us with getting my Fathers will and medical power of attorney written and filed, including coming to the hospital where Dad was very ill at the time, to explain options, answer many questions, and to get Dads will and p.o.a. written, p...er Dads' wishes quickly. A year or so later after Dads' passing, he guided me as the personal representative through everything needed for our family. He kept in contact through email, text, regular mail, and phone, whatever was needed. His staff was also very helpful to us when he was not able to personally see or talk to us. He was professional, personable, and very helpful at a rough time. He quoted us an estimated fee in advance, and the bill came in below that figure, and was very reasonable. We didn't know him prior to this, and was given his name by reference. I will certainly call on him and his firm in the future if needed.

Divorce/Traffic accident

I have been a client of Richard for a number of years. He has helped me in Divorce case, and a traffic accident in which I was compensated very fairly, Thanks to Richard and his knowledge of the Law. In my Divorce case I did exactly as he said and even though it didn't look good for me, he was able... to help me get joint placement and ZERO child support obligations. Thank you Richard Hart!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
