Very Patient and Knowledgeable

Keith was extremely helpful, I was working from Hawaii, and had a case in Wisconsin, over a 2 year period, and my move to wisconsin, we were able to negotiate to 50/50 placement. Though it was an extremely stressful situation, Keith was able to provide the legal support to give my daughter the chanc...e to have equal time with both parents.

Outstanding!

My only regret was not using Keith first. I had gone with another firm that had been recommended to me by a few different friends. After watching my original attorney sit silently as I was removed from my house, lost my kids, and had to pay the mortgage and ALL the bills, I knew I needed a new atto...rney. Enter Keith Wessel. Not only was he able to reverse the damage my original attorney had done, he was able to cut through the games and drama my ex wife's attorney had been using. He worked well with the Social Worker, the Court Commissioner, and Judge. He has the knowledge and experience to navigate any situation and is very personable and easy to work with through the difficult circumstance that is divorce. I trust him completely. Excellent communication and response to any questions I had. He is worth his rate and it was money well spent. I would not hesitate to recommend Keith to anyone. My experience with Keith Wessel can be described only as outstanding!

Personable, efficient, and professional.

We came in anxious about the summon we got, but Keith did a great job walking us through the process and prepping us for court. When we mentioned money was tight, he made sure to keep things brief and to the point, and did his absolute best to keep us out of court. We ended up spending a reasonable a...mount of money for a great defense with a competent lawyer, and we couldn't be more grateful. I don't know where we would be without his help.

Great Job

Keith did a great job for me in a complicated custody case. After shopping around, one attorney recommended Keith because she thought he was great with complicated custody cases. I was most impressed with Keith’s ability to think outside the box and foster cooperation from the opposing attorney and G...AL. He was able to get the other attorneys to support his recommendations every step of the way. As a result, I now have a great custody situation that is satisfying for my kids, ex-wife, and also myself.
