Christopher J. Dodge

I have known Chris for over twenty years and have benefited from his expertise in both business and personal legal matters. I will continue to recommended him to friends and relatives for any legal assistance they may need.

I’ve worked with Chris on a multitude for different cases or issues for close to 20 years. He has always given us thorough information and recommendations to help us make the best decisions with our legal issues. In each instance he has clearly explained the different options we have and any possible ramifications and also the likelihood of a positive outcome and probable costs. He has a great team of associates who have a wide range of specialties. Navigating the legal system can be a daunting experience for any business but having Chris and everyone at Furhman and Dodge has always made the process a little easier.

I have worked with Chris Dodge at Fuhrman & Dodge in a couple of different situations pertaining to non-compete issues and some other personal matters. Chris and his associates have always been able to point me in the right direction to make conclusive and responsible legal decisions while also firmly understanding any consequences of my decisions. I understand that there is no one path for an outcome and so does Fuhrman & Dodge. Giving me different options and helping me understand them is a key role in why I continue to use them for all of my legal decisions.

I've worked with Chris Dodge on two real estate matters. He will helpful, concise, professional in both cases. I've also worked with other attorneys in his firm, and my experience with them has also been excellent.

I contacted WI State Bar for Referral to an attorney specializing in adverse possession of real estate. They gave me Chris Dodge's phone number. I met with and was assured by Chris that he could handle my case. I signed a contract in early October 2017. I provided very specific printed materials and all the pertinent information he would need to pursue my case. Over the next 6 weeks we spoke by phone and via email. He was constantly deferring decisions on how to proceed on my case to me. The entire reason I hired him was to be the expert on the topic. On two phone calls, he had me on speaker phone with him and two separate associates. We would spend 15 minutes recapping my case for the benefit of the new associate. Chris was clearly unprepared for these calls and I had correct his recollection of my case on EVERY detail. It was irritating because I thought I was hiring Chris, himself, and not having him pawn me off to a lower level associate attorney. I received an email with a draft of letter to the defendent and the letter was missing many of the facts that I had jsut discussed with Chris. I wrote back and let Chris know my dissatisfaction with how my case was being handled. Instead of responding as a professional, he wrote back an email attacking me and firing ME as his client. I called him immediately and never received a phone call back. I found Chris extremely arrogant, unprofessional, unknowledgeable and I would not recommend him or his firm for any legal work. I have filed complaints with the State Bar and the Wisconsin Office of Legal Regulation. I have hired and used attorneys for over 30 years and spent 100's of 1000's of dollars and this is by far one of the worst experiences I have had hiring an attorney. I notice that all the positive reviews on this site are from coworkers or other attorneys, so you they are very biased.
