If I may be of assistance to you and help you with your legal situation, please contact me at (608) 833-3880. I will happy to speak with you with no obligation on your part. I also believe that when hiring an attorney, particularly with regard to family law, it is essential that a prospective client have an opportunity to meet and discuss their case with that attorney.
Attorney Timothy Riley's family law services include divorce, custody, placement, property division, child support, maintenance, post-judgment revisions, trial advocacy, pre and post -marital agreements. Timothy also serves as a Court-appointed guardian-ad-litem representing the best interests of children in Dane and Columbia counties.
There are any number of issues to consider in writing an offer or in accepting or countering an offer received that will impact the ultimate success of the transaction and satisfaction of the client. Even simple contingencies such as the date of closing can become quite significant when a party is involved in purchasing another property while selling their current property.
This is certainly not an exhaustive discussion of estate planning. There are also more complex estate plans for those who need to address potential estate or capital gains taxes as well as medicaid nursing home planning. There are certain devices to keep assets in your estate from passing through your will or probate.
The following are actual unsolicited written comments from a number of Attorney Riley's clients. Given the strict Attorney-Client confidentiality rules we cannot provide names. The case had a short time frame and Tim was able to find and implement a solution before the deadline. His dedication to the case was evident our discussions and demonstrated in the results.

I called Tim to get advice on a real estate transaction that involved the disposition of earnest money. Tim provided me timely professional advice and never charged me a dime (even though I offered to pay). Tim was referred to me by my now retired real estate attorney and I am glad I made the call. Tim’s experience proved invaluable and I highly recommend giving Tim a call.

Very unresponsive, takes forever to answer simple questions. Does not pay attention to you and very monotonous, saying the same thing over and over. During my case he was always a step behind the rest of us. I was always having to correct him. He would say things on record that I didn't say. Seems he does not know how proceed documents without destroying the quality. I think he prints pdfs out to scan them into the computer to upload to court. They were twice the size and a quarter the resolution. We were paying him $ for this.

In trying to buy a house I can across one that had a renter occupying it. The selling agent was less than helpful with providing information about the lease going so far as refusing to give up anything unless we had an accepted offer. At which point my realtor advised me to reach out to a real estate attorney so see how we should write up a contingency. Mr Riley was very responsive, and offered great advice that was very helpful. Even stated that if I have further question to call him for further assistance.

I was recently involved in a real estate transaction and hired Attorney Tim to represent me. Considering that this was a sell by owner transaction and I was located in a different city, I was bit nervous at first. Tim walked me through the entire process from start to finish thoroughly. He was attentive and was available when needed including weekends and Christmas holidays. He also suggested a couple of pointers on the real estate condition report which turned out to be right and smart thing to do to avoid any legal troubles in future. I was able to complete the whole process from a different

Tim professionally represented me for 1.5 years in a medical case involving my ex-wife and our minor children. Through that time, Tim successfully overcame no less than 4 major issues created by my ex and her attorney. My ex's attorney was combative and litigious both in and out of court yet Tim always held to a professional standard. The case concluded with us settling 1 wk before trial, and ultimately allowing me an acceptable outcome. Tim's rates were less than other attorney's and he was careful and courteous with his billing (no frivolous charges). Sometimes I'd need to wait a day or 2 for

Attorney Tim Riley was highly recommended by another Attorney's office. He was very willing to answer multiple questions, on numerous occasions for us. We were unsure if we would need to attain his services, however, he willingly continued to answer our questions (*disclaimer, suggestions/ not advisement), give us feedback, and point us in the direction we needed to go. Without hesitation, had we needed to hire an attorney, Tim Riley WOULD HAVE AND WILL BE it! Considering Attorney Riley handles multiple areas of law, I foresee our family attaining his services in the future. I would HIGHLY recommend
