Harry R. Hertel's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Harry hired me as an associate when I was fresh out of law school, and was a great mentor. We still practice law in the same community but in different areas of the law.

"Harry cares very deeply about each and every client. This passion, combined with his vast experience, is what gets him excellent results."
"I've known Harry over 35 years. In that time he has always shown himself to be a brilliant and aggressive criminal defense lawyer. Just as important, he is passionate about his client's and their cases. He is one of the very best. Someone I would recommend to a friend or love one in a second."

"I endorse this lawyer. Harry is an excellent attorney. He cares for his client's and their cases. He is empathetic to them while at the same time being an aggressive advocate for them. He is not afraid to try a case. He is an excellent trial attorney. As we are both in the same town, when conflicts arise we refer cases to one another. Also, we confer with one another often. I trust his opinion."
"I have worked with Harry for the past 26 years. We served together on the Board of Directors the Wisconsin Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and as Past-Presidents.. We have taught together at several seminars. We have served as opposing attorneys in several civil matters. Harry is innovative, imaginative, and always prepared."
