Providing Quality Legal Service Since 1922 GODFREY, LEIBSLE, BLACKBOURN & HOWARTH, S.C. A cornerstone in this area’s legal community for over 80 years, behind our doors you will discover an extensive group of lawyers, para-professionals and experienced support staff. This allows our attorneys to limit the scope of their practice and to stay abreast of changes in the law. Our size also allows us to provide our client with a broader perspective toward achieving results in a timely manner. GODFREY, LEIBSLE, BLACKBOURN & HOWARTH, S.C., was founded over 80 years ago on one very important premise: to provide high quality legal services while maintaining the personalized attention that only a local firm can offer. To deliver those services, we have brought together an outstanding team of attorneys. Our attorneys understand the special needs of today’s corporations, business managers, entrepreneurs and clients with personal legal problems. With this understanding and need, we are able to provide the highest quality of legal services. Whether your problem involves business counseling, litigation, estate planning or real estate law, we have attorneys on our team who are experts in the field. We are proud of the close personal relationships we have with our clients, and our resolve to maintain those relationships is and will be a material consideration in our representation. Despite our commitment to technology, we believe the access to your lawyer continues to be far more important than access to a computer. WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT GODFREY, LEIBSLE, BLACKBOURN & HOWARTH, S.C., provides a full range of legal services. What makes us different is our organizational divisions, each providing legal services in limited areas coupled with a team approach to the practice of law. This philosophy has been carefully developed to ensure that you will receive prompt and personal attention. Although our lawyers may concentrate their practice in one or more legal divisions, our clients are served by the entire firm. This approach allows us to represent a wide variety of clients including major corporations, municipalities, schools, financial institutions, insurance companies, land development, public service corporations, and, of course, individuals. Our clients receive monthly interim statements for legal services performed, whether the matter is of short or long duration. We have a firm policy, consistent with the Rules of Professional Conduct of the American Bar Association and of the State of Wisconsin, to enter into written legal representation agreements with our clients, both to define the specific scope of our engagement and to provide the method by which legal fees will be determined and will become due. Attentiveness to these details at the outset minimizes the risk of misunderstandings at a later date. Monthly interim billings also permit our clients to regularly evaluate the cost of legal representation concerning matters handled on their behalf. QUALITY AND DEPENDABILITY Our firm places a premium on producing an excellent work product. Over the course of most of the last century and continuing into this century, we have earned the reputation of being thorough, cost effective and tough. Our roster of clients has grown steadily as a result. PROMPT, EFFICIENT, PERSONAL SERVICE Whether our clients need instant access to the courts to obtain a temporary restraining order or want an in-depth analysis of a complex legal problem, we have the diversity and experience to put together a team to serve our clients’ needs. Our sophisticated network of legal assistance and computers helps our lawyers minimize costs. Our lawyers respond promptly and keep clients updated on developments and work in progress.
