Your Hometown Law Office: Providing Personalized Legal Support Right at Home

We are a hometown law office with deep ties to the Fox Valley. Don Herrling opened his law practice in downtown Appleton in 1959, and he believed that even though the community was small, his friends and neighbors deserved top-notch legal services without having to go to the big city. As the years have passed, Appleton and the Fox Cities have grown, and so has our firm. With 17 lawyers joined by a professional support staff, we now offer more than 200 years of combined experience. We still hold firm to our founder’s belief in providing high-quality legal representation with a personal touch.

We are honored to be able to serve the legal needs of multiple generations of our clients’ families in Appleton, Green Bay, Oshkosh, and the surrounding Fox Valley communities. Contact us at 920-739-7366 to speak with an experienced, trustworthy lawyer.

Personal Injury

If you’ve suffered a serious injury or the sudden loss of a loved one, it can have significant effects on you and your family. Besides physical pain and suffering from a personal injury, you may also face unpaid medical bills, ongoing treatment costs, and potential disability impacting your income. It’s essential to explore options for financial compensation in such situations.

If you or a family member have been injured by a negligent driver, property owner, or trucking company, or have been bitten by a dog, our lawyers are here to offer the legal assistance you need.

Losing a loved one due to negligence, dangerous products, auto accidents, or recklessness is emotionally and financially devastating. If you’ve experienced such a loss, a wrongful death lawsuit might be the best way to seek maximum compensation for your family.

Our goal is to negotiate a favorable divorce settlement, and if needed, represent you in court.

Paula is very knowledgeable and kept my interests foremost in the divorce. While the divorce was amicable, Paula made sure I avoided pitfalls and reminded my ex-wife that even though the three of us met, Paula represented me. Paula was concise in our meetings and kept the process flowing smoothly. Without hesitation, I would recommend her to others.
