How I got my life back on track.

I had a previous Attorney with little results after 2 yrs on the case. I had more progress from Fitzgerald Law in two weeks . Very professional and efficient staff. They were very good with communication. I have highly recommend them to family and friends. My case has not been completed, but I am v...ery happy so far.

Social Security

Not happy how the result ends and she DID not even explain why etc. I had to go to ADRC to have them explain me better why it was PARTILY FAVORABLE which I asked her to help with this and have my son on ssi permantly but she did not do the job as we wished and now we have to pay for her lousy service... … NOT HAPPY!!!! I got approved with JUDICARE and IM going to find a BETTER LAWYER THAN THIS ONE COULD DO…

Worker Compensation

I had previously hired a different attorney out of Milwaukee and I was highly unsatisfied with this representation. I stubbled across Attorney Fitzgerald’s Facebook post so I set up a consultation and was very pleased with her recommendations regarding my very complicated case. She was always incredi...bly professional and quick to respond to my questions. 95 % of the time Attorney Fitzgerald personally responded not an assistant, however, her assistants were absolutely wonderful as well. Not only did my case end favorably it’s end value was almost double what my prior attorney was willing to fight for. Attorney Fitzgerald is knowledgeable and extremely dedicated to fighting for all you deserve. Highly recommend her!

Big Talk but Little Action

I hired attorney Fitzgerald for what she strongly described as an open and shut case. When I first met Ms. Fitzgerald, her confidence and warm welcoming staff gave me assurance that my case would not take long to resolve. I left her office feeling good about things which was short lived. After return...ing paperwork what started as good communication became long drawn out months of unanswered emails and delayed responses to phone calls. When I finally was able to connect and set up an in person meeting, I unfortunately overheard a hallway conversation to my dismay. I over heard my attorney telling a partner, whom she kissed by the way, that foot injuries aren't worth much and she was considering dumping my case. I did not address it with her, hoping she had not been discussing my case at the time. When my court date came around she was over 20 mins late and she attempted to make multiple excuses to the judge prior to him then rescheduling. After we walked out I expressed my disappointment to which I received a very snotty response of her indicating my case was not worth her while and she would be withdrawing later that day. I was grateful at the time as she no longer was my attorney but as soon as I won my case with another attorney she made sure to file an attempt on backpay requesting 20% of my awarded totals. I was completely in shock as she had not done anything on my case and my new attorney had done an impeccable job taking care of things. Although her request was declined by the judge she had choice words with my current attorney that were of little grace. Do not select her as your attorney as she presents as a strong, confident lawyer but in the end falls short and will still attempt to take your money, along with rightfully awarded attorney fees that were well deserved by my attorney that actually worked on my case. I gave her 2 stars on my review as her office was at least competent enough to file my initial papers with the court system.
