"Do you only take cases in the Sheboygan area?"     My office is in Sheboygan, but I handle cases in ALL Wisconsin counties.  For example, in the past 10 years I have had many clients in Sawyer County and I make regular trips to the Hayward area.  I have had cases all over the state, from Prarie du Chien to Door County.  

"Will I have to pay for your travel time and expenses if I live far away?"   My travel costs are not passed on to my clients, no matter where the case is in Wisconsin. 

"Will I have to travel to your office for every appointment?"   I prefer to meet clients at my office but if you are across the state I don't expect you to make the trip.  I can meet with you before or after court when you have your appearances.  

"Are you able to get good results even though you live outside of my area? How do you fit in time for golf with so many judges and prosecutors around Wisconsin?"   The notion that it is an advantage to be in cahoots with local judges and prosecutors is a common misconception:  good results are earned honestly, by hard work, creativity and perseverance.

"If I hire you to represent me on my drunk driving charges, can you help me with my divorce and draft a will?   I only practice one area of law: criminal defense.  I devote all my time to staying on the cutting edge of the defense field.

"If I hire you, will you hand my case over to someone else in your office because it's not important enough for you to handle personally?"   Absolutely not.  I chose to start my own practice so I can have complete control over the cases I take and how they are managed.  When you hire me to represent you, it will be me- not a junior associate- making all court appearances and working on the issues in your case.
