Dispute
Resolution Services
Have
a dispute you need resolved with a neighbor, store, or other 3rd
party? We offer mediation services to resolve your dispute without
the hassle and cost of going to court. Mediation is voluntary
by each party. We will even contact the other party to see if
they are intersted. Best of all, the parties split the cost of
the mediation services.
Dispute
with Business or Creditor?
We
offer a 20-minute no charge consultation to see if we can take
on your case. Many cases can be taken on for no fee up front if
attorneys fees are mandatory for the type of dispute or if the
attorney can take on the case on a contingency basis. Oftentimes
consumers may think their dispute is trivial - such as creditor
harassment, or a defective product, however, many times we are
able to pursue a just result for the consumer. Please call to
make an appointment to see if your case can be pursued. Examples
of types of consumer disputes are:
+
Home Improvement Disputes + Car/Vehicle Disputes (new &
used) + Non-disclosure of Financing Terms + Product Defects
+ Creditor
Harassment + Mortgage Reporting Errors + Deceptive Sales/Advertising
Practices
The
list above is only a sampling. Please call to make an appointment
to review your situation. Bring all documentation with you regarding
your issue. Be open to questions from the attorney that may not
seem related to your issue of concern as sometimes the attorney
can spot an issue that is legally prohibited but may not be the
issue you are disputing. Also see www.wisconsinlemonaid.com

Free
Legal and Consumer Information
Horizons Law Group also has a wall in the retail
area dedicated to free brochures on many legal topics and consumer
issues. Many of these are provided by the Federal Trade Commission
(FTC) at no charge FREE! This is very consumer-friendly information
that our federal government has put together (many in full-color!)
for consumer use and informational purposes. Also see our Do-it-yourself
page for a complete listing of our free services. Even if you
are a client already, the information available is helpful and
informative.
Legal
Library / Legal Reference Area
Our library contains Wisconsin case law (WI Supreme
Court and WI Court of Appeals) and all state statutes (laws).
Consumer use of the library/resource area is FREE. Consumers can
also use our attorney reference binders complete with information,
directions, and forms used by most attorneys at NO CHARGE. Copies
of any information is only a small fee.
Take-a-Lawyer-to-Lunch
Also too good to pass up! For the price of a lunch,
you can have an hour of a lawyer's time. This is a great way to
get to know a lawyer before hiring him/her for your sensitive
legal matter.
