Bob Gingras and his firm have protected me for over three decades. Some time ago while serving as…read morethe Executive Director of the State of Wisconsin Investment Board (SWIB), I found the need to report financial and political corruption to the State Attorney General and the State Auditor. I was fired by the end of the that week. A former SWIB Trustee recommended only one attorney that afternoon - Bob Gingras. That evening, Bob Gingras drafted a press release that became the lead article in the Wisconsin newspapers the next morning and began the lawsuit to preserve the records and facts. After years of stalling by the Governor and his high-paid & tax-paid attorneys, the Judge caused a settlement on the second day of the trial. That "fresh start" with compensation gained by Gingras' firm allowed me and my family to continue my career in Global Financial Management with assignments in twenty-five countries. Please believe me, the selection and use of an attorney is NOT a well-planned event. A law firm must have the talent to carry your case through the entire court process, including a successful trial and an abundance of financial resources to complete the case to your benefits. The talent, or team of talent and experience, must have a track record of accomplishment and integrity that you personally TRUST.

Not all attorneys are snakes!…read more Mark Borns is a good, knowledgeable, experienced, honest, and effective attorney. He let me know right from the outset that the divorce process would be a long drawn-out affair (because he was familiar with the pour-gas-on-flames approach of the opposing counsel). Mark handled the situation with skill and a thoughtful strategy. The paralegal, Jenny, was outstanding as well. Her role is critical--providing a great sounding board for talking through strategy. The Borns Law Office team is effective, efficient, and in the end, they saved me thousands of dollars and major emotional headaches, due to their good counsel and successful negotiation(s). I like that I can sleep and night, and not feel bad about our approach. Borns Law is the best in the business.

I was referred to Marilyn Townsend by another attorney. During my initial consultation she was…read morevery upfront and informative with me regarding my case and the possible outcomes and concessions I would have to make if I wanted to pursue it. I never felt pressured to chose her as my attorney. I hired her because I believed she was the right individual for the job. She came across as a very strong, independent, intelligent woman, an individual with enough guts and glory to stand up for me against my former employer and whatever attorney they might hire and not back down. Sometimes you need an attorney that can be condescending, dismissive, or possibly even rude! This was a very difficult time for me and Ms. Townsend was very respectful and compassionate. She handled my case professionally and quickly. Needless to say we won. I have since referred two other individuals that were also pleased with Ms. Townsend's services.

She told me of other clients she had who were minimum wage workers but were willing to spend their monthly income to hire her, as if making the biggest financial sacrifice proved your seriousness. She wasn't very pleasant or friendly, either. I'd avoid her, unless maybe you have millions of dollars and don't have to talk to her.
