Thoroughly Impressed

Amber was a great help to our family. She advocated for us every step of the way, remained professional throughout, and was very knowledgable. She was always quick to respond with communication and kept me in the loop every step of the way. I have had other lawyers in the past for this matter, but Am...ber was by far the best. I am glad that we worked with her, as she went above and beyond for us and we came out with a good outcome. Thank you, so much!

Amazing Family Law Attorney

I retained Attorney Amber Ragonese for a post judgement case. Absolutely amazing and responsive service. She is very knowledgeable, provided great suggestions, great negotiations and on top of all that, she was able to put up with me! I would recommend Amber to anyone needing a family lawyer and w...ill definitely use her in the future if needed.

She's truly a "needle in the hay stack".

Amber was referred to me by a prominent, well-respected attorney with the Wisconsin Bar Association in March of 2017. My case involved interpreting the vague, ambiguous, and convoluted language in a 25 year old divorce settlement in an attempt to determine a financial amount owed from a 401K portfoli...o. The Honorable Judge Michael J. Dwyer, who presided over the arguments in my case, coined the term in his courtroom to describe my case to be, "a legal nightmare" during the process of ruling on this case. As are most cases between two ex-spouses, this on was no different. In the 21 long months it took to resolve my case, Amber's strength and resolve gained momentum like a freight train. Throughout the length of my litigation, my confidence in her abilities AND results proved I was 100% correct in hiring her. Her hard work and her expertise in her research during my case proved invaluable in the end result. Like a prize fighter, we took body blow after body blow and with each punch Amber rose to the occasion EVERY time to counter with arguments that shot down every attempt to undermine our defense. She kindly worked around my busy work and personal calendar throughout our working relationship as well. When my case was finally resolved, in December of 2018, and the conclusion of my financial settlement determined, Amber "exceeded" my preconceived notions of what I thought it might be...21 months prior. I wouldn't hesitate to call on Amber's legal expertise again, for any legal assistance I may ever need in the future. She's truly a "needle in the hay stack" asset to the Law Firm that employees her and DEFINITELY the clients she so unselfishly serves. THANK YOU again, Amber, for helping me through a very stressful time.
