The attorneys at Gionis & Murtaugh Law Office, LLC are certified by the State Public Defender to represent clients facing serious felony and misdemeanor charges. Right to a jury trial, where all twelve jurors would have to agree that you are either guilty or not guilty.

If you are charged with a crime, there may be a variety of pretrial motions that can be brought on your behalf to exclude evidence or have certain charges dismissed prior to trial.If you are arrested or charged with a crime it is in your best interest to not give any statements to law enforcement or investigators until you have had an opportunity to meet with an attorney and discuss your situation.
No one ever wants to face a divorce. It is one of life's most traumatic experiences. Have you and your spouse found there is no way to work out your differences? If only one spouse wants a divorce, a judge will usually find a marriage irretrievable broken. A divorce will end a marriage. A legal separation involves the same procedures as divorce but the separated spouses can't marry others.
Your role as a parent does not end when your marriage does - neither does your former spouse's. You both love and want what's best for your children. Once the divorce process has begun, you must decide on child custody and placement arrangements. The way you and your spouse handle these arrangements will have an enormous impact on how your child copes and their emotion well-being during and after your divorce is final.
If only one spouse earns a salary or both draw an income but one earns more than the other, the law recognizes that both spouses contribute to supporting the marriage. The law states that whatever the couple acquires during the marriage should belong to the equally. This can have certain advantages.
You value the ability to make your own decisions regarding your finances, property, health care decisions and raising your children. If you should die or become incapacitated, you hope others will handle these matters for you according to your wishes. Simple state planning makes it possible for you to ensure that your wishes will be followed.

I’ve never actually dealt with Miss Gionis. I have talked with her on the phone twice. She is pretty much the rudest person I’ve ever talked to.

Kathy Goinis was great! She helped me get through some post divorce issues. With Kathy we were successful at wining against a much feared attorney in west wisconsin.
Thanks again Kathy!
