  Attorney Fry-Galow This statement reflects my personal experience and opinion from a family court matter in which this attorney represented the father of my child. THIS AGAIN IS MY OPINION AND MY VIEWS OF MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. I HAVE MUCH STRONGER OPINION ON THIS HOWEVER I AM LEFT TO TIPTOE DUE TO THE COMMUNICATION THAT CAME AFTER I LEFT MY LAST REVIEW. IN MY OPINION IT ALWAYS SEEMS TO COME BACK IN THREATS, AGAIN THAT'S MY PERSONAL OPINION AND MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. IN MY OPINION, FEEL FREE TO FIND ME ON FACEBOOK. I am left with serious, unresolved concerns about transparency, accountability, and the overall handling of my child's case. Throughout the process, I repeatedly struggled to obtain clear, direct explanations for key positions and decisions. Especially the decisions that led to an inpatient stay for my son for an unfounded reason. From my perspective, the approach taken often felt opaque and difficult to follow, leaving me without a meaningful understanding of how critical outcomes were being reached in a case involving my child. One of the most troubling aspects of my experience involved major decisions that significantly affected my time and relationship with my child. In my opinion, the circumstances surrounding those decisions were not fully or fairly considered, and the information I attempted to provide did not appear to be meaningfully addressed and opposing party here in my opinion did absolutely nothing to correct the opinions and perspectives reached through what I call manipulated, juxtaposed and altered evidence. The court was allowed to jump to conclusions based upon evidence presented and that side did absolutely nothing to correct the record or to ensure that the child's best interest in my opinion was being thought about thoroughly throughout this because if it was, the case would not of happened the way it did. In my opinion it was so detrimental to the child and to my entire family. The result, from my perspective, was an outcome that felt disproportionate and deeply concerning given what was at stake. As a direct consequence, I experienced a substantial disruption in my ability to maintain normal contact with my child. The impact of that cannot be overstated. In my view, the process that led to those restrictions lacked the level of balance, transparency, and responsiveness that is essential in matters involving children and parental rights. What makes this even more disturbing to me is the timing. My child is approaching adulthood (turning 18 in September 2026), which makes every decision during this period critically important. In my opinion, the way this case was handled during such a narrow and meaningful window only intensified the consequences and raises serious concerns about judgment and approach. In my opinion the opposing council and the guardian ad litem were 100% working together and always fell in line with each other. In my opinion I could tell instantly that this was going to be an issue because of the ridiculous things that were being brought up that I knew was untrue. Additionally, I found the overall tone and conduct throughout the case to be unnecessarily adversarial and, at times, dismissive. Rather than contributing to clarity or resolution, it often escalated the situation and made an already difficult process significantly harder to navigate. This is my personal experience and opinion. Others may have different experiences. However, based on what I went through, I would strongly urge anyone considering representation to carefully evaluate communication practices, transparency, and overall approach—because those factors can have a profound impact when the stakes are this high. In my opinion, ENSURE THAT YOU DO YOUR RESEARCH, ASK QUESTIONS, AND TRULY DO ATTORNEY SHOPPING IF YOU DO CHOOSE TO GO THAT ROUTE. AND FOR HEAVEN SAKES THIS IS CHILDREN'S LIVES SO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT YOUR ATTORNEY IS PLANNING ON DOING IS RIGHT AND IS NOT FRAUDULENT OR MISLEADING OR ANYTHING BECAUSE THAT WILL END UP IN LAWSUITS SO QUICK IN MY OPINION AND IN MY CIRCUMSTANCES IT SURE HAS.

  Nelson Krueger and Millenbach replied the same day to my inquiry, but said they do not practice in Sauk County. If hearings are remote/phone, I don't see why they couldn't have explored taking my case. Either way, prompt notification, at least.

  Working with Attorney Nelson during my divorce was a nightmare. She was completely uncooperative and treated me like a child. She took advantage of the fact that I was leaving an abusive marriage by acting sympathetic initially, groomed me, and then ended up using all the same manipulation tactics that my ex did. That was traumatizing. Attorney Nelson deliberately held up my divorce and filed motions against my wishes that had no impact on my case. She ignored my requests and charged me for the time she spent writing and filing them and for the argument we had about this. She called me a “idiot” and said I was combative when I asserted myself in any way. She and my ex’s attorney argued the same points circularly to rack up billing hours without even trying to disguise it. She informed me that the judge didn’t care about my case, stating there are people in family court with “real problems.” Lastly she took no measures to protect me against my abusive ex which had significant consequences for me. Didn’t even bother to have my new address redacted from the documentation despite my requests. You are better off representing yourself.

  I worked with Attorney Krueger throughout the duration of my divorce proceedings and always felt supported emotionally, confident in her legal acumen, and impressed with her timely and comprehensive communication. In our one-on-one meetings, Alison was warm and assuring; her humanness put me at ease. In hearings, however, she sparkled. I was often in awe of her poised professionalism; the competent manner in which she articulated our positions or proposals always made me proud that she was representing me. While I worked most closely with Alison, I had similar experiences with her lovely assistant, Alexis. I recall feeling embarrassed and vulnerable the first time I walked into a legal office, but Alexis was warm, friendly, and non-judgmental. I was similarly impressed by how the firm functions as a team. When Attorney Krueger left on a planned vacation during a pivotal time in my case, she updated another partner on the particulars of me case so that I was never without legal representation or personal support should I need it. Divorce, for me, shook my confidence and diminished my self-esteem. Working with this firm, with this staff as role models, helped build me back up.

  I cannot say enough good things about my experience. My attorney, Alison, took over my case from another firm at my request. She jumped right in and got to know me and guided me through one of the most stressful periods of my life with compassion, clarity, and unwavering advocacy. She was responsive, thorough, and always made sure I understood my options. I felt truly supported every step of the way once she took over. I’m deeply grateful for her expertise and the peace of mind she gave me.
