Fuhrman & Dodge S.C.

Chris recently handled an acquisition of a competitor. Everything went very well. Not only is he very friendly and easy to talk with, he is thorough and detailed. Chris never gave me the feeling that it is only about billable hours that most attorneys have in the past. Chris and his associates also helped my son keep a clean record by getting a DUI case dropped after another firm had failed. They had to get the case reopened and then managed the dismissal, even at at lesser fee than the original attorney that did very little. Chris is the only attorney I trust and I would not consider another.

I contacted WI State Bar for Referral to an attorney specializing in adverse possession of real estate. They gave me Chris Dodge's phone number. I met with and was assured by Chris that he could handle my case. I signed a contract in early October 2017. I provided very specific printed materials and all the pertinent information he would need to pursue my case. Over the next 6 weeks we spoke by phone and via email. He was constantly deferring decisions on how to proceed on my case to me. The entire reason I hired him was to be the expert on the topic. On two phone calls, he had me on speaker phone with him and two separate associates. We would spend 15 minutes recapping my case for the benefit of the new associate. Chris was clearly unprepared for these calls and I had correct his recollection of my case on EVERY detail. It was irritating because I thought I was hiring Chris, himself, and not having him pawn me off to a lower level associate attorney. I received an email with a draft of letter to the defendent and the letter was missing many of the facts that I had jsut discussed with Chris. I wrote back and let Chris know my dissatisfaction with how my case was being handled. Instead of responding as a professional, he wrote back an email attacking me and firing ME as his client. I called him immediately and never received a phone call back. I found Chris extremely arrogant, unprofessional, unknowledgeable and I would not recommend him or his firm for any legal work. I have filed complaints with the State Bar and the Wisconsin Office of Legal Regulation. I have hired and used attorneys for over 30 years and spent 100's of 1000's of dollars and this is by far one of the worst experiences I have had hiring an attorney. I notice that all the positive reviews on this site are from coworkers or other attorneys, so you they are very biased. If you doubt my claim, you may want to search Chris Dodge under the Wisconsin State Court access to find cases filed against him and the firm for malpractice by others.

I worked with Chris Dodge on two separate real estate transactions. In both cases, he was helpful, concise, professional. His firm saved me from making a costly mistake. I worked with two other attorneys at his firm and found them to be likewise excellent.

Top drawer, professional treatment from our first contact through to a successful conclusion. I worked with attorney Jennifer Schank and paralegal Eric Burtz. Eric was very efficient at making the legal machinery work. Jennifer came up to speed on my case quickly, sorted out the key facts for me, engaged the other party aggressively, and most importantly, prevailed!

I trust Chris Dodge and hold him in the highest regard. Chris has and is handling cases for me. In the past he has settled 2 cases in my favor. I appreciate his professionalism and his attentiveness to my needs.
