    I never needed a personal lawyer before. And honestly, I just Googled one and decided to call and got in touch with Adam Welch. He was fantastic. Returned calls immediately, completely professional, and great in the court room when I needed him the most. I have nothing but good things to say about Adam and his firm. Top notch.

    My wife and I came to visit Wisconsin last year for some R and R and unfortunately found ourselves in need of an attorney. What we thought to be a simple misunderstanding quickly escalated into more and we found ourselves in a desperate situation doing our best to research available attorneys with experience and a good reputation in the area. Neither my wife or I have a record or have ever been in trouble so to speak, so we found it a bit overwhelming in differentiating which attorney would be the right fit for us so to speak. We came across a lot of attorneys but ultimately decided to go with Adam Welch. Upon our research we found Adam to be listed as Wisconsin elite when it came to law and trial cases. After retaining Adam's services, it was beyond apparent why. Not only did he live up to everything we read online and then some...He had a very polite and kind demeanor and it was obvious he cared. Let me say that again. I whole hearted believe that not only did he care, but he had our best interests in mind. Now a days, that's a hard found quality in any line of work. It did not go unnoticed. After almost a year of dealing with a less than desirable District attorney, Adam stuck to his guns and we ended up going to trial. Again, neither my wife and I have ever been through anything like this and it was beyond a little nerve racking to say the least. Adam was cool, calm and collect and reassuring the entire time. In fact, not only during the trial, but the entire time for the last year any time we needed Adam made himself available. Ultimately, a not guilty verdict was had which was what we were hoping for and thank goodness we can finally start to put all this behind us. I hope that no one ever finds themselves in a situation like ours, but life happens...Thank God we found Adam. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS MAN!!! When we felt no one else would listen even from the State, he did and he never stopped. Thank you again, we are so appreciative!
