Highly Competent

Aaron Halstead settled to a high level of satisfaction two Worker's Compensation claims for me in the past six years. I was impressed by the level of expertise that was shown. My questions were always answered promptly and in language that I, a non-lawyer, could understand. If any of my co-worker...s ever need an attorney, I would not hesitate to recommend Aaron. In addition, he is well-assisted by paralegal, Armando Veizaga.

Workers Compensation Case

Aaron Halstead has worked as my attorney for both a workers compensation case and a safety violation case (related to the workers compensation case) for over four years. I would highly recommend him and Armando Veizaga( his paralegal) to deal with workers compensation insurance companies, their atto...rneys and their supposedly "independent medical doctors". Yes, insurance companies will hire certain doctors to evaluate and/or review medical records reflecting treatment provided by your medical doctors. This is for the purpose of having the “independent” medical doctor (once again paid by the insurance company) give a second medical opinion on you. You can guess how the medical report will be written. I would contact their office sooner vs later to find out if you should even speak with an employee of the workers compensation insurance company. Aaron and Armando will not be able to help you medically, but will do a great job of making sure you get medical help and try to minimize the influence the insurance company has regarding treatment and eventually compensation.

Mr. Aaron Halstead is a master of his craft, and the most professional attorney I have ever encountered!

I was recently discharged from my employer, and sought legal counsel for this matter. I got the run around by a few other lawyers. After my initial meeting with Mr. Halstead, I knew my search for legal representation was over! He took the time to listen to everything I had to say. He responded to... every email I sent him, even on the weekends. He genuinely cared for my situation, and well-being. I was very impressed by his knowledge and professionalism. He didn't treat me like "just another case." This was an attorney that was down to earth, that I could relate to with ease. Mr. Halstead put all my reservations, and fears to rest. If you need a lawyer for anything employment or labor related, than look no further. You will not be disappointed. Mr. Halstead is top-notch!

Total Satisfaction

I was referred to Mr. Halstead from my personal attorney, who family includes other attorneys, including the father who retired as a Chief Circuit Court Judge. Aaron always kept me informed on the progress of the case, making recommendations and offering history from others cases. I felt very comfor...table discussing facts of the case with him and his staff. I would not hesitate to recommend Aaron to anyone seeking this type of representation.

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"I have had the pleasure of working with Aaron for a number of years. He is a skilled litigator, and his reputation as one of the Wisconsin's best worker's compensation and employment attorneys is well-deserved. He approaches each client's case with care, attention, and methodical strategy, and he is never afraid to take a case to hearing or trial when necessary. I would recommend him to anyone seeking a worker's compensation or employment attorney."

"Aaron is an incredible reliable, knowledgeable and hard-working attorney that I often consult with on labor and employment matters, and, on occasion, worker's compensation matters (I don't handle many worker's comp matters). In addition to being a great attorney, Aaron is also very friendly, helpful and passionate about his work and his clients."
