  • “Excellent - My divorce was long and drawn out and full of conflict with my ex changing attorneys and hiring one who seemed to want to fight about everything. And when reading the correspondence between Brad and the opposing attorney, I was very happy Brad was on my side. He knows his case law and he knows how to communicate well…I can say without a doubt that the money I spent on an excellent attorney paid off, and will continue to pay off in the future. It is important that everyone remember why we hire skilled labor. Why we go to an expert. Because you don't know what you're doing and you need help. So listen to his advice. Follow it, and do well. Thanks for your help Brad.”

  • “Diligent, Professional Family Law Attorney - For the past two years, Brad has lent his profound legal acumen to my particular placement, child support and custody situation after my divorce. While he was my attorney, he was able to get me twice as time with my kids, reduce my child support by half and advise me as to the steps I had to take to help attain these goals. He is beyond competent - he has a masterful grasp of his legal specialty. I highly recommend his services - especially if you have been disappointed by other attorneys performance.”

  • “Worth Every Penny! Brad handled my very complex custody case in Jefferson County, WI even though I live in another state hundreds of miles away. He was nothing short of amazing! His communication was always prompt and succinct. He definitely did not waste my time just to get billable hours. Brad always came to hearings extremely well prepared and argued my case in a way that did not make him seem like a pit bull attorney and was extremely effective. He also advised me very well on effective communication with my ex-spouse and helped keep me from falling into any traps or pitfalls that I may have found myself in without his advice. We ended up succeeding in changing placement after 6 years to another state hundreds of miles away which is about as uphill of a battle as we could get. If I could give 10 stars I would. I knew it was going to be a difficult case to win and was told by nearly every attorney that it was not likely to succeed but I had to try. Brad Schweiger was perfect for the case and I can't imagine I could have found any more effective representation anywhere else.”

  • “Honest, fair, trustworthy - Brad took my case with some very honest feedback, but also ways to move forward that work best for my kids…after hours of notes and calls he compiled a very accurate portrayal of the situation and showed the court options that would help everyone navigate what is best for our family. Brad is confident that what he's bringing into the courtroom is what matters for the case and he did an excellent job.”
