Efficient/Effective Litigator

I contacted Mr. Schmit for assistance in resolving a dispute with my previous employer regarding the non-compete clause in my employment contract. He was both very efficient and effective and was able to resolve the issue both amicably with all parties involved and within 2 months. I was then able ...to start work with my new employer with a minimum of delay.

Works to find the best outcome

Evan helped me work thought a legal situation that had me on the verge of bankruptcy. His knowledge of the law and willingness to fight on the merits helped me obtain a settlement that was better than taking the bankruptcy option. He was always honest in his assessment of the situation and the opti...ons, and I always felt like he was on my side. I'd strongly recommend Evan for anyone looking for help to solve complex legal issues.

Controller

Evan worked on a client bankruptcy case for us and we were eventually able to collect almost 50% of the amount owed to our company.

Highly recommended. Informative, thorough, and thoughtful.

Evan navigated us through a family business wind down. He went above and beyond to ensure the best interest of all parties were met, and he took a holistic approach based on our business and personal context. We were happy to have Evan supporting us through this complex transition. We highly recommen...d his services.

Great bankruptcy attorney

Milwaukee attorney Evan Schmit of Kerkman Wagner and Dunn represented me in a complex chapter 11 bankruptcy. He laid out a clear, affordable strategy for recovering the majority of my investment. Attorney Schmit is a very capable attorney and I would recommend him to anyone who finds themselves in...volved with any ongoing bankruptcy litigation.
