A True Blessing...

Chris Hueneke supercedes ALL factors one would seek in an attorney, and I am ever so grateful that I found him, and that he warmly agreed to accept my case. Due to the extreme negligence endured from a previous attorney who started my father's probate case, Chris was assuredly handed an atypical, ...intricate situation. He not only had to amend multiple, crucial errors that were initially made, but also had to ensure that the case continued to flow in a timely manner. Prior to finding Attorney Chris, there were days I would just cry, feeling stuck and not sure how to proceed appropriately with the mess that had already been created by a claimed professional (previous laywer). However, after working with Chris directly, its no wonder this man won Super Lawyer multiple years in a row for his outstanding work. From my initial visit, to the closing of the estate, Chris went above and beyond to kindly and thoroughly list and explain EVERY STEP, and even the ones subsequent to the present. His communication is amazing, he is a true pleasure to work with, and his navigation through this case was beautifully done. My personal situation required an intelligent individual, who was particularly knowledgeable on all avenues of estate law. Needless to say, Chris fit the bill and highly exceeded any expectations held. Not once was I left with unanswered questions, and I always felt 100% trust with Chris because I knew he sincerely cared...period. I very much admire him, as his qualities and actions deserve respect and praise. He is a true master at his craft! Attorney Chris Hueneke has been a tremendous honor to work with, and God's blessing for me all around. I do not feel this review is enough, to truly resonate my genuine appreciation for him. He has an exceptional personality and attributes, and his character, values and behavior make him a unique and rare find. I just cannot thank him enough for all he has done for me, and I would undoubtedly recommend this man 100 times over! THANK YOU SO MUCH, ATTORNEY CHRIS!

Worst Attorney In Wisconsin

I retained Mr. Chris Hueneke in 2016 to represent me in a divorce. Not expecting a divorce petition, I suffered a nervous breakdown and spent six weeks recovering. Apparently, Mr. Hueneke sized me up as someone he could scam, charge fees, and do nothing, saving him time so he could scam others going ...through the same situation. Hueneke wouldn’t accept a counter proposal I submitted to him. He also would not consider the two appraisals I also submitted to him. All in all, Hueneke did nothing on my behalf. At the court hearing, he simply sat next to me, looking at the table top. I nudged him hoping he’d say something but he did nothing. For all I know, he may have been asleep. After the hearing, I asked him why he did nothing. He raised his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and remained silent. From another review on this site, he apparently did something similar to another one of his ‘clients’. Mr Hueneke is the worst divorce attorney a person could retain and I advise anyone going through a divorce to look for reviews and retain a competent attorney. Hueneke is the worst divorce attorney in Wisconsin and, perhaps, the United States.

Excellent lawyer, but hire your own real estate agent for probate cases.

Me and my siblings hired Chris for a Probate case after our parents passed. I have a minor complaint that I felt rushed. He hired a real estate agent to sell the house, which seemed to be a good friend of his. That is ok, but I did not feel like the real estate agent was on our side, which reflected ...badly on Chris. That situation could have been avoided if we got our own real estate agent, but we put full trust into Chris. I gave Chris 5 stars because his patience was extraordinary. I know we tested his patience and I commend him for hanging in there for us. At times I felt like he went above and beyond for us.He was very professional, very organized, and very personable. He answered all our questions quickly and was always readily available. I would definitely recommend him.

At times, I wasn't sure if chris was on my side

I hired Chris for a child support case, many times during the process I wasn't sure if Chris was on my side or on my Ex's side. The opposing attorney snuck a court order containing many unfavorable and unfair clauses with Chris's approval and without Chris consulting with me and getting my OK, I a...m definitely not happy with his performance.

Replied last June 10, 2016

It is certainly not my practice to allow orders to be submitted without reviewing them with the client and ensuring there are no questions or objections. Also, many lawyers, myself included, are honest with clients whose expectations may not be consistent with the law. Occasionally, that can be misconstrued as the attorney not being on the client's side. However, supporting expectations that a lawyer knows are not realistically attainable within the framework of the family code provides no service to the client. I wish you would have addressed your concerns with me personally before posting comments online. In any case, I am more than happy to address these concerns with you offline. It is important to me that each client has a positive experience. Please feel free to contact me.
