This Is Our Craft

Many lawyers view legal representation as a fill-in-the-blank process: Sign this. File that. Next, please.

We view our work as your lawyer as our craft, something that requires finesse and artistry. Within the confines of the law, we find creative approaches that yield better results for our clients. In negotiations, we take bold actions and propose more innovative agreements. We maintain the highest level of integrity in all cases, but we do not feel compelled to approach situations with a "that is the only way it can be done" mindset.

Our innovative thinking benefits our clients: Every law firm will help their clients avoid harassment by creditors following a bankruptcy. Most send a letter and charge their clients a small fee to get the creditor to comply with bankruptcy court orders. Our innovative lawyers went beyond that and found a way to make harassing debt collectors pay for violating the law. We used federal and state regulations to force creditors to not just stop harassing our clients, but to pay damages to our clients for the illegal action they had already taken. Rather than charging our clients to enforce the law, we managed to put money in their pockets.

Fresh Solutions and Bold Action

Because many times we deal with clients in desperate situations who are seeking last-ditch efforts, we often have to rely on innovative tactics. We need to apply the law in a way that others have not considered. Our attorneys not only have an extensive knowledge of the law, they have a talent for developing fresh solutions and the boldness to take swift and definitive action. This approach has made us innovators in the areas of bankruptcy and consumer law.

We Teach Other Attorneys the Law

Our staff is experienced and respected. Our nine lawyers have well over 100 years of combined experience. Using this experience by regularly training other lawyers, sharing our unique perspective on how the Bankruptcy Code and consumer protection laws can be applied to a client's case. We regularly consult and discuss strategy with each other. While you will work with a single lawyer as your main point of contact, you get the collective expertise of our entire team applied to your case.

Our attorneys have conducted seminars around the state on bankruptcy, foreclosure defense, consumer protection issues and other personal and business financial matters. David Krekeler, the principal shareholder at our firm, has also taught classes at the University of Wisconsin Law School. Other attorneys including attorney Briane Pagel, are regularly consulted by the local media to answer legal questions.

This means our lawyers are always in tune with the latest developments in the law and we bring this experience to work for you as our clients.
