CLIENT REVIEWS
"I am a business professional and ran into an issue with the city of Milwaukee. I am very impressed with this law firm as well as attorney Rebecca M. Coffee. I had reached out to other lawyers and never even got a call back. I submitted the request and they communicated with me the following day and set up the discovery phone call. They were very easy to communicate with and treated me with the utmost respect. Rebecca was able to reach out to the prosecutor and find an alternative solution to the issue. This would not have been available without her knowledge, connections, and follow through. I am very satisfied with my outcome and will refer anyone i know to this law firm. Professional, honest, communicated well and has the connections to get things accomplished. Highly recommend!"
"I cannot say enough about the representation I received from Rebecca she literally saved my life. Facing 3 felonies and an enhancement charge facing 40+ years in Waukesha prison she got me 2 years probation which is a miracle in my opinion. She was very detailed kept me calm throughout the entire process and most importantly she knew what the hell she was talking about and showed it by her actions. There is no other lawyer in the state better in my opinion I watched her save my older brother life in 2016 so I already knew what she was capable of. Whatever amount she is asking for I promise you it will be worth every penny. I cannot thank her enough for my outcome."
