A consummate professional who delivers exceptional results

When our small manufacturing company was facing a complex product liability lawsuit, the stakes were incredibly high. We needed counsel who was not only technically brilliant but also understood the nuances of Wisconsin law and the insurance landscape. Michael Crooks of von Briesen & Roper was that attorney. His 18 years of experience were immediately evident. He meticulously deconstructed the plaintiff's claims, guided us through every discovery phase with clarity, and developed a defense strategy that was both pragmatic and aggressive. His deep knowledge in personal injury defense for defendants and insurance law was instrumental. While his recent 'Lawyer of the Year' recognitions speak volumes, it was his day-to-day professionalism—returning calls promptly, explaining legal jargon in plain English, and maintaining a calm, strategic demeanor under pressure—that truly set him apart. The case was resolved favorably well before trial, protecting our business's reputation and financial stability. Michael isn't just a lawyer; he's a strategic partner you want in your corner for the toughest legal challenges. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
