Welcome to the RAMSDELL LAW OFFICES website. This site provides an overview of my law practice and the legal services I provide.
I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree from UW-Eau Claire in 1967. My undergraduate Degree included a major in Physical Science (Chemistry
and Physics) and a minor in History.
 I have been in the general practice of law in Madison since
graduating from the University of Wisconsin Law School in June, 1974. I have maintained my own law practice since that time, representing clients in many areas of law.
I now limit my work to Family Law (Divorce, Annulment, Paternity), Adoptions (private or independent, step-parent, relative, and adult),
Wills and Trusts (what I call Life Planning), Criminal & Traffic Law, Guardianship, Conservatorship and Probate. As a Court Commissioner
since 1986, I have done hundreds of weddings all over Dane County. I also preside over Supplementary proceedings if requested by attorneys.
I work alone by choice. I have computers for all tasks including legal
research. By working without staff, I am able to better control my overhead, control the work that is done, and control my fees. By keeping my office small, I
can render the kind of personal service that I believe clients deserve.
 I also enjoy practicing my profession in the informal, quiet,
peaceful surroundings my office affords me. I come to work
with my dogs, a couple of Lhasa Apsos by the name of
“Mister B.” and “Snickers.” There is no “hurly-burly” office
atmosphere here. You can relax here and we can work on
your problems. If you need, evening and weekend
appointments are available.
I am concerned about the needs of my clients and do my best to help my clients whatever their needs. If I believe I shouldn’t handle your case because
it’s outside of my areas of ability, I’ll help you find an attorney in our locale that can help you.
My office is located at 4217 Milwaukee Street, in a duplex located on the south
side of the street about 2 blocks east of the Highway 51 intersection. That’s the intersection where Woodman’s East is across from the Main Post
Office on Madison’s east side. (See Pictures). As you head east on Milwaukee Street, you’ll see a Country Kitchen Restaurant, a McDonald’s and a
PDQ-Citgo, all on the left (north) side of the street. I’m just kitty-corner from the PDQ and directly across Milwaukee Street from Truesdell Animal Care Hospital.
Please refer to my Location Map for specific driving directions.
I have 24-hour voice mail on 251-4400.
My Professional Liability Insurance is provided by CNA.
I am a member of the State Bar of Wisconsin, the Dane County Bar Association, the Dane County Family Lawyers Group, The Collaborative Family
Law Council of Wisconsin, Inc. and the Dane County Chapter of Collaborative Family Lawyers. I am licensed to practice law in all the courts of Wisconsin as
well as the Western District of Wisconsin and the Eastern District of Wisconsin Federal Courts. I’m also a veteran of the US Navy, serving from 1969 to 1973.
