I recently had the great pleasure of working with Attorney Benjamin Lutgen. Ben is hands down one of the most professional, attentive, and thorough attorneys I've worked with. Ben's subject matter knowledge and overall personal candor is a recipe for success...and he provides successful results to prove it!!! Without a doubt, l will highly recommend Attorney Benjamin Lutgen and the law firm Kim & Lavoy, S.C. to anyone in need of the best representation for the best results. 5 stars is an understatement!!!

We hired Attorney Zachary Hoff from Kim and LaVoy Law Firm for a case that took a few twists and turns but Atty. Hoff assured us he would do everything in his power to get the best results for our case. He came through with flying colors. He kept us informed of everything that was happening by letting us know what we should expect. He kept us grounded when we began to see things in a bad way. He was professional but still very easy to communicate with. We can't thank him enough and recommend him highly for a great legal counsel.

Personable, professional, compassionate, and knowledgeable.
He kept us in the loop at all times, and explained each legal detail completely.
We would not hesitate to hire Jonathon again.

We have been clients of Benjamin Lutgen intermittently since approximately 2016. He is very reliable, attentive, dedicated and competent. When you need his services, he is attainable, prompt and communicates well. We have a lot of faith in Ben and his ability to attain the best results. This has been proven to us repeatedly and the reason we are repeat clients. He was recommended to us and we would not hesitate to recommend him to others as well.

I would highly recommend this law firm. Mr. LaVoy represented our family member on 2 occasions. We found him to be extremely knowledgeable, professional, and very honest and direct in communicating what he felt we could expect as an outcome. He and his staff are very responsive to emails and calls, we were never made to wait to get answers to our questions. We believe that because of his thorough preparation and broad knowledge base, he presented our case very well and we experienced positive outcomes in both situations.

I got pulled over in July allegedly going 89 in a 65 in a construction zone. This was the first time ever being pulled over & I was originally just going to pay the ticket but doing further research online, I found out anything over 25 mph is an automatic 15 day suspension on your license in Wisconsin. I am from Chicago and nanny full time & could… not have this happen so I started looking for an attorney to get some legal advice. After calling countless law firms everyone told me this was going to be a super difficult case. I finally reached out to Kim & Lavoy and spoke with

I highly recommend Alexis Garuz at Kim & LaVoy. she went above and beyond with my traffic violations. Not only did she save me from getting my license suspended but she also managed to get both 6pt tickets removed/reduced. Not only that, but she took the time to make sure I knew what was going on (as a young adult, not everyone is willing to explain in simple language) 500% worth the price. simply the best. Thank you again Alexis!

Kim and LaVoy, along with their team, presented a very informative and timely session and how to protect your teen. My husband and I left the session with a greater knowledge of the legal system as well as the importance of being a proactive parent. In addition, they did this for free! Thank you for the quality of your service and your commitment to helping others.

Julius Kim was my brother's attorney, I couldn't be more impressed. He walked my brother through the entire process in an extremely professional manner, making sure he was totally prepared for each step. He took the time to get to know who he is and used that information to plead his case to the judge. I sat in amazement hearing him speak to the judge on my brother's behalf. If you are looking for a compassionate, professional, thorough attorney who understands the legal system call Julius Kim!
