Client Testimonials
Theresa represented me for an injury from a car accident. I was hesitant to make an injury claim as I had heard that the process could be difficult and my injury was tolerable on most days. I ended up calling Habush Habush and Rottier after seeing an ad on a particularly painful day. She was clear in her explanation of the process, honest and realistic in what I should expect, kept me informed and was patient and kind. I would send my closest family to her, but hope I won’t need to.

Theresa was an excellent attorney. I would trust her with my own children. In the past six months, Theresa has worked extremely hard for me and my family. She truly cares about us, understands how difficult a disability claim can be, and empathizes with us. Theresa always kept me informed and kept me calm in the most frustrating situations. I cannot say enough about how pleased I am with Theresa and Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. as a law firm.
Rick Stevens Point
Explained the whole process to me and was able to get a fair settlement for my claim. It was nice to have someone give me such great service when my claim was not the 6 or 7-figure “ad-worthy” claim. Knowing a little about the process, I suspect those are rare.

There was nothing I didn’t like about this firm and the people I worked with! Jenny and Theresa were always working to keep me informed of the progress and what to expect next with the case. Very professional and outstanding job with correcting the overbilling with the medical clinic. They made me feel very confident with letting them handle every aspect along the way with the insurance companies. I can’t say enough about this law firm. 2nd to none!
Thanks again, outstanding job!
