I hired Alex and Sam to represent me for a motion to reconsider in my divorce case, and their performance was completely unsatisfactory. Their work primarily consisted of taking a document I had already written, removing several relevant portions, and charging me nearly $14,000 for their minimal effort.

They spent almost $4,000 in "billable hours" repeatedly revising drafts of my original document. Despite our discussions and agreed-upon changes, they consistently reverted the drafts back to earlier versions, failing to incorporate the necessary updates. Not only did this reflect poor attention to detail, but they also double-billed me for their repeated failures.

Alex appeared unprepared and overly dependent on Sam for oversight, which resulted in significant inefficiencies and additional charges. When Alex finally appeared at the hearing, he was late, unprepared, and unaware of key details in the case. His incompetence ultimately contributed to a costly financial outcome.

While Sam came highly recommended for real estate and estate planning, it is evident that neither he nor Alex has the experience or ability to handle divorce cases effectively. I would not trust them with anything beyond minor traffic violations.

I worked with Will on a school issue. Will was very knowledgeable and on top of the case and very friendly to work with. We were able to resolve the case and get the outcome we hoped for. I would definitely use this firm again.

Some of the best! They have been so helpful for many of our legal needs. I love that they have a wide range of knowledge and actually fell like they care. Very thankful we found them!

After reaching out three times I finally received a response. Then it was prompted to pay a $250 consult fee for what I assumed was a simple question (is there any recourse to a faulty home inspection). My question was answered within two minutes, yet I was still charged the full $250. After that, I reached out to discuss my frustration about being charged so much money for the consult when it was a simple 1 word answer, no there isn't. I was prompted to pay another $250 to to discuss my frustration. I've worked with lawyers before this isn't how you should run a business.

I have used Sam in Sheboygan for some of my own family planning along with have him assist multiples of my clients with their legal planning needs.

I have worked with Sam Melei and his firm for over 10 years. I rely on them for all types of legal matters. Not only do they do excellent legal work, but I can always reach them when I have a question or need something. I would recommend them to anybody.

I have used this firm on many occasions for many different reasons and I have always left feeling completely informed and satisfied with the results of the situations presented. I was talked to like a normal person. I had the information broken down in a way I understood and I felt like I was being heard and represented in the most professional way. I definitely recommend reaching out!

Robbie, Sam, Will, and Andrew all helped us out along the way as we were closing on our home! Andrew walked us through every document we signed at closing and provided us with a thorough explanation of what we were signing. This was especially helpful as a first time homebuyer.
