Happy We Retained Joe!
Joe is handling our contractor litigation which was not pleasant to deal with on our own. We're very happy we retained Joe to litigate our case for us as he has reduced our stress factor immensely! He is very knowledgeable, thorough and great to work with. Although our case is still on-going, we'...

Balanced Respect/Recommendations
Joseph Skemp Jr. provided excellent legal advice while managing my divorce case.

Excellent attorney
I used Mr. Skemp for a child custody hearing. I had heard great things about him from a friend and decided to retain him. My previous attorney's had always given me mediocre advice and I felt that I was always put on the back burner until my court date arrived. NOT WITH SKEMP. Our first meeting was a...

Joe Skemp
A professional in every aspect yet Joe is friendly and approachable. I would trust Joe to defend me in any case. Seems to have a lot of practical experience and has access to all of the resources you would expect a professional to have. He was firm and fair in dealing with people on my behalf and th...
"Joe is one of the most experienced and knowIedgeable family law attorneys in the area. I wholeheartedly endorse him."
"Atty Skemp's representation of his clients is both aggressive and effective. He is knowledgeable and experienced and that combination allows him to reach creative and efficient solutions to the problems faced by his clients. I fully endorse Atty. Skemp."
"I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Joe for almost fifteen years. Joe has a solid understanding of the law, the court system and his adversary. He has only one goal in mind; the best interest of his clients. I have personally witnessed him volunteer, counsel, weigh alternatives and provide outstanding advice. In an era where it is not uncommon to hear lawyers raise their voice or use a condescending tone, Joe is always on an even keel. He approaches all involved with respect and dignity. This respectful and well thought out approach works to the benefit of his client. It is a pleasure to work with Joe and to refer clients to his good care. I recommend his services without hesitation."
"Joe is taking his place as one of the leading family law attorneys in Southwest Wisconsin. He uses his legal knowledge, his years of experience arguing before judges and court commissioners, and his friendly personality to help clients get good outcomes for their cases. Joe is probably most notable in the community as being able to practice at a very high level against any other litigators in the state while at the same time reliably keeping a conscientious eye on the client's bottom line (i.e. notifying clients if it looks like arguing about certain legal points or property division issues might not be cost-effective and then letting the client decide how to proceed.)"
