improper defense

mr sisson represented in a restraining order case,sat through the hearing and said little in my defense,had he done his job the person accusing would have been charged with perjury,accusations were totally false.recently I talked to a local atty,about the case,it seems that Outagamie co.did not have ...jurisdiction in the case[case must be heard in co. where it occurred or in defendents home co.sisson charged 1500 dollars for doing nothing,i believe he should have known about the jurisdiction issue,thank you ED

Friendly, personable, and trust worthy

I hired this lawyer for my son I'm disabled and don't have a lot of money he worked with us after we sat and talked about what happened. He made me feel very comfortable with him it was like I knew him for ever. Never having to go through this before he walked us through each step of the case he answ...ered are questions and told us to contact him by phone or text anytime and always answered on a timely bases he felt like not only a lawyer but a friend I will give his name out to family and friends

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
