The top ten categories that received the most votes were (in alphabetical order): Business Law, Civil Litigation Law, Construction Law, Criminal Defense Law, Employment and Labor Law, Estate Law, Family Law, Law Firm, Personal Injury Law and Worker’s Compensation. Legal professionals often debate the topic of whether a lawyer worklife balance is achievable, or what that even means. Dictionary.com defines a work-life balance as “a situation in which one divides or balances one’s time between work and activities outside of work.” Admittedly, a work-life balance is hard to achieve when you have chosen the law profession. One of our goals is to create a program that is nominated and voted by the audience who is most interested in the topic. With Best of Wisconsin Law Journal, we think you’ll discover this. Not only when looking to refer to another firm, or find new services, but also when it’s time to relax, play golf, and enjoy the “balance” part of life. When thinking about the future of any business, the reality is that resources will always be limited, and it’s up to decision-makers to do the best they can with what they have at any given moment. At the same time, making the right decisions today can have a substantial influence on the capabilities and opportunities for success tomorrow. We encourage you to make it a point to discover more about the 83 firms and businesses found in these pages and at BestofWLJ.com.

REPRESENTATION
Criminal defense is an area that can touch many peoples’ lives, and the four-attorney member team, which includes Michael Turner and Trisha Fritz as well as Hogan and Eickhoff, is dedicated to helping people fight criminal charges that threaten to disrupt their lives, possibly forever.
But that’s not the only reason the firm is so successful.
Each team member is passionate about criminal defense, Hogan said, and the firm, because it only serves criminal-defense clients, lets them focus on that one specialized area of law. They’re not running in 50 different directions, worried about divorce or real-estate cases, for instance.
It is a tight-knit firm, founding partner Timothy E. Hogan along with Eric Eickhoff, said of the Appleton shop which serves Oshkosh and surrounding areas. “Our four attorneys routinely collaborate with each other and that sharing of expertise and opinions really lets them offer the best representation to their clients.”

In addition to being held in high esteem by the working public, the attorneys at Hogan Eickhoff are well known and respected by local judges and prosecutors for being extremely well prepared and exceptionally dedicated to their clients.
For instance, Fritz is a licensed foster parent in the area and a member of the Opiate/ Heroin Treatment Court of Brown County, and Turner is involved with the programs at his church, St. Joseph’s. Several of the team also enjoy sports such as watching the Packers, Badgers, Bucks and Brewers.

We believe that everyone has a right to a strong legal advocate, and we won’t rest until we have a clear idea of a person’s hopes and goals for their case.” With a combined more than 20 years’ experience handling nothing but criminal-defense matters and a demonstrated knowledge of that branch of law, the Hogan Eickhoff attorneys can handle every type of criminal case imaginable, from ordinary traffic offenses to misdemeanors to felonies as serious as sexual assault cases, drug delivery, domestic abuse and even homicide cases as well. “When it comes to criminal-defense law, Hogan Eickhoff is among the best but while our attorneys take on larger-firm-like cases, we do not have larger-firmlike pricing.

MATHIE MEDIATION SERVICES LLC Take Advantage of Everything that Mediation Has to Offer.
James Mathie of Mathie Mediation has experience mediating cases and he knows there are advantages to mediation that just can’t be had in a court of law. And he should know. As a licensed and practicing attorney, he litigated cases for three decades before he began mediating them six years ago. Now his goals are simple. He wants his clients to be satisfied with their decision to mediate, and he works to ensure they have enough time to consider that while a case outcome might not meet their highest expectation, it is often the best outcome for all parties, especially after his serious review of the case. Mathie knows that in a courtroom, a judge or jury will decide instead of both parties coming together to find a mutually acceptable resolution. Mathie Mediation is broad based, and the practice includes business and commercial cases as well as personal ones. He can mediate for professionals as well as take on nursing-home negligence cases, real estate disputes, personal injury cases and some construction, employment and trust disputes. Despite his popularity, he does not mediate divorce matters from his four office suite downtown. He is available to travel statewide to mediate cases but does not charge for his travel costs.
