We paid Annette Rauch 5,000 dollars for a OWI case. She literally got me the opposite of everything she told me I was getting. She asked for a 1000 dollars every time I saw her. After she received her last 1000 she stopped answering mine, mothers mothers and fiancé’s calls. She’s extremely unprofessional and unethical! Please do not use this attorney or the partners she works for.

Do not hire chris hartley as a criminal lawyer! Worst money i have ever spent. He is not responsive after he gets his money. He is unprofessional. I had his cell phone number and would have to show up and catch him at the office just to get a response. But after the court date he was very responsive i am guessing because he knew it was over. He walks in the court room unprepared with no arguement and does nothing his client ask him to do. We suggested to get a different judge but upon his recommendation we kept her. Which was the worst mistake we could make. If you value your life DO NOT PUT hIT

I had Mark as my divorce attorney back in 2003, and he did a phenomenal job. He apparently doesn't practice family law anymore as far as divorce cases, but I happened to run across his "new" office while doing some work in the same building and received a reminder of him on Google so I figured it was worth mentioning how great he was for my case back then, and that I would certainly trust him to handle any other legal matter for me if I ever had the need in the future.

Save your time talking to others with a negative outlook and greedy pockets and call this firm.

I have an ongoing issue of persecution from a jealous malicious neighbor, for the past 8.5 years. She has lied about me to many people at my kids elementary school where I was a volunteer. I called Atty Mark Pecora on Friday and he was kind enough to meet me on a Saturday. He seemed compassionate as my kids and I explained the situation in a nutshell with the angry jealous malicious neighbor ( she put a restraining order against me) to make a long story short i have been harrassed by Kenosha police and courts and that neighbor and her minion friends.. my daughter has been very depressed and this

Mark Pecora is the best most professional, knowledgeable, experienced attorney we (Cassandra Martin, RN) was able to secure. We interviewed 7 top Milwaukee criminal defense attorneys and received the most positive feedback regarding our case from attorney Pecora. His rates were reasonable and the outcome of the case better then anticipated. If you are currently seeking legal representation I would highly recommend attorney Mark Pecora.

I was referred by a family member to Mr. Hartley and as soon as I sat down with him I knew this is who I wanted to have my back. He informed me of things that I didn’t even think about he was so smart,… aggressive, and instrumental that my sentence was reduced to probation. I cannot thank Chris enough for his dedication to me and my family.

Hey Chris, I'm not sure where to start, so from one veteran to another, I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for representing me. I believe your incredibly outgoing personality, the fact that you genuinely care about those you represent, and your vast knowledge of law are the reasons why my felony charge was dismissed with prejudice… for which I will always be grateful! If you're looking for an attorney you can trust? An attorney who's fees are flexible and won't lead to bankruptcy? An attorney who's guided by the rule of law and a set of values such as loyalty, duty, respect

No Complaints. In 2015 ALL of my charges were DISMISSED including the FELONY. Thank You So Very Much!! This was the first time I had ever been charged with something criminal so I was rather emotional, ignorant to the process, a little scared I guess, etc. Chris Hartley did His BEST to Reassure Me and to Explain the Process. We went to court a handful of times, he did what he does, and NO JAIL FOR ME!! The price was fair. Not Cheap but Not Crazy either, Competitive. In this situation, you really do get what you pay for though. I was referred by two fellow veterans that also had GREAT experiences
