- Spouse or domestic partner

We do not require you to put down a deposit or a retainer to start working with our staff. Instead, we’ll take our payment from your settlement when we win your case. If we don’t win your case, you don’t owe us anything.
We Can Find the Evidence You Need to Build Your Case
Our team of 130+ legal staff members can put the full force of the firm into investigating your loved one’s fatal accident. We have professional relationships with seasoned investigators who can help you find the most valuable:
- Photos and video footage of a loved one’s accident
- Physical debris
- Environmental damage
- Electronic data
- Statements from witnesses
- Input from expert witnesses, including coroners, medical professionals, and police officers
All of this evidence helps us meet or exceed Wisconsin’s burden of proof. In doing so, we make it easier for you to argue that someone else’s negligence led to your family’s loss–and that the liable party owes you money.
We Can Represent You in Conversations With Insurance Companies
You have the right to pursue an insurance claim after losing a loved one to a devastating accident. However, we do not recommend speaking to an insurance claims adjuster without an attorney present.
Unfortunately, insurance claims adjusters can take advantage of your grief, twist your words, and make it significantly more difficult for your family to recover.
If you have a wrongful death lawyer serving Green Bay on your side, you can rely on that lawyer to protect your rights and prevent an insurance claims adjuster from taking advantage of you at a difficult time. We can make sure the claim you file with an insurance company highlights the specifics of your losses and the negligence that contributed to your loved one’s death.
We can go on to emphasize your right to comprehensive damages based on the expenses tied to your loved one’s death. We do not let insurance claims adjusters minimize your losses, manipulate evidence related to your accident, or use your grief against you.

You can work with our Green Bay, WI, wrongful death lawyers to determine which of the state’s deadlines applies to your case and what exceptions or extensions you may qualify for based on your circumstances.
