I’m one of the best. I have been practicing law in Wisconsin for 40 years. Many clients have told me, “You’re the best,” but I recognize that other lawyers are also very skilled. Please see my client reviews to learn what my clients say about me at the conclusion of their cases.
Simply put, my effort is to be the best: To me that means to use my experience, intelligence and sensitivity to each client’s situation, to get the best possible resolution for each client. It also means that I strive to be the best by being honest and clear in my explanations and by being very available when each client needs to communicate with me, by phone, by email, or in person. To be the best I also deal fairly with my client on their legal fees.
I have been practicing law in Wisconsin for more than 40 years. When a client wants to hire a lawyer for an injury case or for defense of a criminal case, what does the client want: Clients want a lawyer who is honest, intelligent, experienced, and a straight-shooter. Clients also want a lawyer who will keep them informed of the status of their case and what to expect going forward. I always do my best to perform in each of these areas. My goal is not to impress each client just to get hired. Rather, my goal is to do such a good job for each client that, when their case is done, my client would be confident in referring a friend or family member to me. Please take a look at my client reviews.

Great Representation
I wasn't very knowledgeable as far as area lawyers so I contacted David based on a recommendation from a friend.

We hired David for what turned out to be a very unusual and extremely challenging case. Its successful resolution is due solely to David's persistence, thoroughness, diligence, expertise and desire to provide us with the best representation possible.

David is a fine lawyer - ethical, smart, creative. I wholeheartedly endorse him."
"Attorney Relles is a very experienced and well respected attorney in the community.
