Beware of Wire Fraud

May 16, 2019

BEWARE! Wire transferring money on real estate transactions could cost you your life savings. We continue to advise our clients in residential real estate transactions, and in commercial real estate transactions, that they should be extremely careful about putting personal information (such as social security numbers and bank accounts) in any emails, and when they are wiring funds to an attorney’s office, a real estate agency, or a title company.

Mandatory E-Filing in Walworth County

March 11, 2016
 
On February 23, 2016 the Wisconsin Supreme Court adopted a petition that will require parties to file cases electronically (e-file). The approved plan calls for counties to implement mandatory e-filing in civil, small claims, paternity and family cases beginning on July 1, 2016.  Several counties are currently offering e-filing on a voluntary basis.
