Welcome to the Ramsdell Law Office Web Site
This site provides an overview of my law practice and the legal services I provide.
I am committed to doing the best for my clients that I can and caring about their problems and their needs, in a relaxed, comfortable setting. I have had my own general practice of law in Madison since graduating from the University of Wisconsin Law School in June, 1974. I was appointed by the board of the Dane County Circuit Court Judges and served as a part-time Court Commissioner from 1986 to 2010.
My clients are families and members of families. In order to better assist my clients, I now limit my practice to the following areas: Family Law, especially Collaborative Divorce, various forms of Adoptions, Criminal & Traffic, Wills, Trusts, Supplemental Trusts, Powers of Attorney for Finances and for Health Care, Declarations to Physicians and instructions for Disposition of Remains.
I am interested in understanding your specific needs so that I can be of better service. Please give me a call at 608/251-4400 to discuss your particular situation.
WHAT DOES RAMSDELL LAW OFFICE DO?
Divorce Over the years, the law has become more and more complex. I have often been distressed at the cost to the client, both in terms of finances and the tremendous emotional havoc the process can cause, when going through divorce. That's why I offer Collaborative Family Law and "Divorce Mediation" services. ..... more here
Mediation I have received training sponsored by Dane County Bar Association in the special skills required to mediate disputes. This section of the website is designed to better educate clients regarding legal mediation. For your convenience, I have arranged it in a Question & Answer format. Just click on the question, and you will be be taken directly to the appropriate information. ..... more here
Adoptions I have done adoptions since graduating from Law School in 1974. I was fortunate to do what might have been the first totally confidential private adoption proceeding in the state of Wisconsin. I am one of about three attorneys throughout the state that developed the procedures now used for 20 years to assist people in adopting children. ..... more here
Criminal and Traffic Law As part of my law practice since 1974, I have assisted people who get themselves into problems with the police. This legal assistance is, to me, an extension of assisting people and their families. ..... more here
