“I just want to thank you for the representation you provided me in my case. You kept me well-informed in every step of the case, also making sure I fully understood everything. I fully believe that had I had any other lawyer, the outcome would have been much worse. Your confidence, intelligence, and demeanor made all the difference in the courtroom. You will be the first attorney I recommend to people. Once again, thank you so much.”

“Attorney Richards has just represented me, and I was facing four felony charges, and the State’s initial offer was for 3 years of prison and 3 years of extended supervision. Attorney Richards help me through this time and was very professional. He answered all of my questions and was very courteous to my needs. I was very pleased with the outcome. I plead guilty to one felony charge and was given two years probation and was given no jail time. Thank you again Mark job well done.”

“Natalie Wisco produces results ! She was not the first attorney that touched the case. After a year of bouncing through the hoops in Wisconsin with a typical “turn and churn” lawyer that wanted to settle. Natalie believed in the case and gave it the attention it deserved and was able to win. Not ever needing a defense lawyer before and hope never to again I was naïve to the messy and unfair legal process in Wisconsin. I learned a lot and was taught by one of the best legal minds in the state. THANK YOU NATALIE !!!!!” – Scott T. (2024)
