Abigail M. Volberding

Abby helped me navigate a very tumultuous high conflict divorce. She was conscientious of my budget and handled difficulties with opposing counsel and my ex beautifully. She was always on top of things, up front about what to expect and listened when I felt strongly about certain decisions. She know...s the ins and outs of the legal system and how to communicate effectively with difficult people. I was very happy with the outcome. Thank you Abby for helping me get my life back!

Attorney Volbdering displayed determination, stellar work ethic, and preparation throughout my case. Her advice never steered me wrong, her approach to resolving the issues was always correct, her trial preparation and strategy was perfect. Her execution was flawless, especially considering that the ...judge in my case was a bit scatterbrained since he isn't regularly on the family circuit. Her closing argument in the case moved me! She captured everything that I had felt for the last number of years of marriage as it fell apart. To hear it articulated by someone else, to know that they saw it and understood, well that almost brought this big guy to tears right there in the courtroom. I am forever grateful for Attorney Volberding. Without a doubt, she won my case. I got 99% of what I wanted and the few things I didn't get, I can live with.

I think the best part of working with Abigail has been her open communication and her ability to look at matters with a longer term perspective. Abigail has been excellent with reaching out to myself letting me know every step of the way the process in getting my issue resolved. Not only is she a...ble to give the strategy and mechanics behind how she is going to help, but she cares very much about her clients. She reaches out to make sure that I was comfortable with our strategy along with making sure that I was good on an emotional level. Those two aspects alone make Attorney Volberding one of the best in the business. But there is another matter that someone may want to know about, that would be how is she in the court room and working with opposing counsel. It is interesting to watch Attorney Volberding work. She uses her logic and her ability to understand opposing viewpoints which makes her (forgive the phrase) "deadly" in the courtroom. She has the ability to sense where the judge is leaning along with the ability to speak to opposing counsel to figure out the best strategy to help her clients. Her knowledge and understanding in the courtroom is second to none. She will fight for your right to be heard and your matter to be addressed fairly. If you want the best, reach out to Attorney Volderding today.

Abby was absolutely amazing in everything dealing with my post divorce custody and placement agreement I had initially interviewed 7 other attorneys and I knew after speaking with Abby that I felt comfortable and at ease knowing that she was the right choice. Abby is extremely prompt in return...ing all of my calls and emails. There were occasions when I called with no appointment and she took her time to answer all of my questions thoroughly and made sure I understood all of the information she gave me. Abby is extremely knowledgeable in the specific statutes and all of the little "quirks" that Racine County seemed to have. She understands the most efficient ways in getting your case resolved and was great with contacting the opposing counsel and resolving this issue outside of a trial. There were several very emotional and difficult issues that were being dealt with in my custody and placement case, including military relocation and religious and educational decisions. Abby gave me solid advice when I asked. She listened when I was emotional and crying. She was really the perfect example of what you need in an attorney when things get heated and frustrating; telling you the facts but also being kind and empathetic at the same time. Her retainer and fees are absolutely reasonable. I had actually switched from an attorney at a different firm where I hadn't realized I was being overcharged. Abby worked efficiently and didn't charge me extra for things that I had been charged for at the other firm in the past. Looking over my whole closing bill and statement, I couldn't find a thing that I was unhappy with. And ultimately that is sometimes one of the biggest factors in choosing your attorney. You want someone who will work their hardest and get your money's worth. I am so happy and I could truly go on and on about how satisfied I am with my whole experience. I would recommend Attorney Gilman to anyone who needs help with a divorce or custody and placement issues. She is absolutely wonderful.
