Excellent Attorney

My ex-husband took out a temporary restraining order on my boyfriend for child abuse against my son. I had numerous legal battles against my ex in the past, but this was by far the lowest he had ever gone. It felt like a nightmare and we had no clue where to go from there. I talked to numerous attorn...eys that really didn't seem very knowledgeable, or were busy the day of the hearing (because the hearing is set soon afterwards). I just happened to be searching online and found his law firm in Waukesha. I called and they put me through to Chris right away. I explained the whole story to him late on a Friday afternoon and he said he would speak to his partners about our case and call me back. He called me back later that night, which was such a relief, because we had thought we had no one to turn to at that point and we didn't have to go into a whole weekend hopeless. Lucky for us, he had actually tried and won restraining order cases in the past, which are very hard to win...it honestly felt like they would just give a restraining order to anyone. Chris had a lot of knowledge about the court that the hearing was taking place in, and explained the whole process to us. He explained to us what he needed from us to help him with the case and we finally had a direction to go in. Even when Chris was in court, and we needed to get something done, one of the partners at his firm would step in and help us out. When the court date came, we were all fully prepared and had a very strong case. Chris didn't forget any important details during the hearing and was a very effective trial attorney (these hearings are like mini trials). The restraining order was dismissed, and our nightmare was finally over. If we wouldn't have won, I don't know what we would have done. My ex husband would have been able to continue to control my life and actually control who I dated. In addition, my boyfriend was completely innocent. Having that kind of restraining order against him would have ruined his life, both in our relationship, and his reputation. If you need an attorney for anything related to family or criminal law, you are in good hands with Chris and actually have a fighting chance. I couldn't ever thank him enough. No amount of money could repay him for giving us our lives back, and preventing my ex from trying to take my son away from me.

"As a fellow criminal defense attorney, I was immediately impressed with Attorney Ehrfurth from the first time I met him. He displays a remarkable knowledge of the law, is extremely personable, and has the even-keel personality that you need as a criminal defense attorney to negotiate successful resolutions with district attorneys (95 percent of cases settle so this is an incredibly valuable asset). If you have a criminal defense case, I wouldn't hesitate to contact Attorney Ehrfurth to discuss your case."

"Due to a scheduling conflict, Chris handled a stipulated reduction from a crime to a ticket...funny thing is, when i got the paperwork back, he somehow managed to get a better result for the client than I had negotiated. Just amazing!!"

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"Chris is top-notch. I have had him work on some of the most complex and difficult projects in our office, and he has always achieved stellar results. One case in particular, involved an allegation that a client had stolen hundreds of thousands of dollars. Chris was able to avoid charges for the client. In another case, I sent him to a distant county in Wisconsin, to try to persuade a judge to release the client from prison and to terminate the parole - Chris succeeded. Chris' negotiation skills and courtroom presence are tops."

"I highly endorse Attorney Ehrfurth. He is a rising star and one of the brightest individuals I have ever met. As a fellow attorney, I have learned a great deal from Chris. Anyone looking for a criminal defense lawyer would be extremely lucky to have Chris in his/her corner. He truly cares for each of his clients and fights for their individual needs. Chris is already a top tier attorney; however, I have no doubt that one day he will be one of the best there is in the criminal defense community."
