Choosing a law firm in Waunakee

Look up the lawyer in the State Bar of Wisconsin's online directory — membership is required for anyone practicing in the state — to confirm active standing and check for public discipline. Ask whether the firm regularly appears in Dane County Circuit Court, since familiarity with local judges and filing practices can matter as much as general experience in your type of case. Get the fee arrangement in writing before signing anything, and ask what expenses, if any, are charged separately from the fee itself.
