Richard Rice won my case. Mr. Rice represented me in a labor issue. As a state employee, it is daunting to take on the Department of Administration. Our case went all the way to the WERC (WI Employee Relations Commission). We won our case and the state had to pay my legal fees and my discipline was reversed and removed from my personnel file. Very quick to reply to my queries, and he listened to what I had to say. I don't care much for attorneys in general, but Richard is a winner.

Just spoke with Mr. Rice, in the Madison area, about a possible work disability discrimination issue, and he was EXTREMELY polite, well spoken, and clarified everything for me. If I ever need assistance, I will be calling these guys back. Thank you Mr. Rice!

Richard was great, very helpful and an invaluable resource. Highly recommended.
Richard Rice represented me with my case. From the beginning he made himself available. He never made me feel unimportant. He always answered my questions in a timely manner. He also took the time to explain the process. He always let me make the final discussion. He is very kind, patient, and knowledgeable. I would recommend Richard to my family and trust that they are in great hands.

Fox & Fox is a go-to law firm with an exceptional reputation, one earned client-by-client through belief and hard work. They have helped me and they have helped my friends. While they have succeeded in achieving the hoped for outcomes, they have been equally successful in tending to the emotional lives of the folks they represent. Resolution can mean many things and they understand and deliver on all aspects of it. I am grateful for what they have done for me and for others.

Unfortunately in December of 2017 I found myself in need of an employment attorney . I did an internet search and decided to give Fox & Fox a call. The next day my call was returned by Mr. Richard Rice . As it turns out that was a very fortunate day for me. I talked to Mr. Rice about the issues I was having with my employer. Mr.Rice asked if I could come to his office to further discuss my case , at which time he decided he would take my case .Mr.Rice was very detailed about the battle that lay ahead . Mr.Rice went to battle for me diligently working on my case .Mr. Rice was very prompt in returning all emails and phone calls . Mr. Rice kept me informed on every step that was taken concerning my case,exceeding my expectations. Mr Rice resolved my case with very favorable results.

Over the years I have retained several lawyers and have found Attorney Richard Rice of Fox & Fox to be of excellent quality. Unlike other lawyers that were indifferent, Rice is very dependable with transparency, returning emails and phone calls which is consistent with Fox & Fox's positive reputation. He has many years of experience, listening ears, solid advice and a polite confidence that comes with it. Rice is particularly quick-witted in depositions and Hearings, and is definitely ethical. So overall, I have found him to be a trusted protector and partner with my legal matters which has given me peace of mind. Attorney Rice has earned my recommendation.

Atty. Richard Rice has been a value man of counsel for many years now and continues to be. His wisdom and advice has tremendous value to me and my family and I continue to look forward to routine opportunities for ongoing dialogue. He has and will continue to be an important expert for my family and one attorney I'll always refer others to. Terrific talent and an outstanding listener!!!

I have had nothing but positive experiences in working with attorneys and staff at Fox and Fox. Randy, Mary, Peter, Mike, Krystle, et al are all high character individuals with a passion for their clients and the law. Their vetting process ensures that clients will not be misled with false hopes on questionable claims. The cases they take are pursued with utmost vigor and integrity. I wholeheartedly recommend the Fox and Fox firm!

Amazing Experience. A Law Firm that lives its values and cares about their clients. Terrified and teary eyed, I stumbled blindly into Attorney Rices’ law firm after long having been on the receiving end of abuse at the hands of my former employer. I had written down Fox & Fox almost a year prior as a former co worker had mentioned his law firm’s name and good reputation. I stashed the number away never thinking I would need to use it. The thought of attorneys in general just hit a sour note with me. I just pictured ambulance chasers, the “one free consultation meeting” fees for every little thing. Let me tell you my fears were allayed. I was greeted warmly by the woman at the front desk and Attorney Rice came right out of his office to meet with me not knowing who I was and having no stake in my claim despite clearly seeing I was in distress. He could have just as easily told the lady at the front desk that he was busy but he didn’t and he sat me down and asked me easy to digest questions and he was very firm and had an air of trustworthiness about him right away. Based on my claims he provided me with incredibly clear and concise instructions as to how to proceed and it further instilled confidence in me that this man did not once mention fees or contracts or anything financial he truly put me, a total stranger first. I followed through on his basic requests and we kept in touch and let me tell you he is a terrific communicator, prompt and honest responses; he is not the type to just tell me what I wanted to hear and that was refreshing. We met again in person and after actually interviewing me and patiently reviewing my documents he agreed to take the case. Long story short is that both he and his firm had the utmost professionalism, integrity, compassion, perseverance, innovation and good judgement. As you may have already surmised, we were able to both make and resolve that case with great success and not once did I worry he would abandon or take advantage of my situation. I highly recommend Attorney Rice and Fox & Fox!

I want to express my gratitude for all effort & dedication put in by Mike Fox and Fox & Fox regarding my employment dispute. It was a three and a half year process & I never thought anyone would stay by my side for that long.
After 29 great years with a company I was shocked to lose my job because of a "reorganization" that affected only me and a few other employees. I am so thankful for the guidance & support given to me by Mike and the firm during what became a very difficult time for me. Employment cases are difficult and emotionally draining. The knowledge & determination of the firm was a great comfort to me during multiple hearings & mediation.
During the course of my case I talked to a friend who asked me what law firm I was working with. I told her it was Attorney Mike Fox. She shared with me that the husband of a friend of hers worked with Fox & Fox, S.C. on an employment issue he had. He had nothing but high praise for the firm and was very happy with the resolution.
I will never be able to thank Mike and the firm enough! I would recommend Fox & Fox, S.C. to anyone asking for a highly personal and effective representation

I’m incredibly grateful I found Fox & Fox to represent me on my claim of employment discrimination.
I’d never been involved in a lawsuit before and wasn’t sure where to turn, how to find a good attorney, or whether I even had a case. I had just been fired from my job after a series of troubling events with my employer, and it left me shaken. A friend who was familiar with situations like mine and the lawyers who handle them recommended Fox & Fox as the best. I reached out to them, and Mike Fox and Mary Kennelly agreed to represent me. I could not have had better guidance through the legal process, better advocates in the court room, or better partners to navigate a very difficult time in my life.
Mike and Mary related to me on a very personal level, always attentive to the stress that I might feel as the litigation progressed through various stages. They balanced empathy and rigor beautifully: both were supportive and sensitive to what I had been through, while maintaining their intense focus and legal perspective.
Mike and Mary bring so much experience and intelligence to their work, and they were alert to aspects of the case I would never have thought of or known to bring up. They were consistently on point when arguing our case, presenting my testimony, and examining my employer’s witnesses. Their preparation and execution impressed me.
More than anything, I was proud to be represented by attorneys with such integrity and high ethical standards. Mary and Mike fought for me with respect and grace. They consistently exceeded my expectations and made me feel valued, protected, empowered and understood.
I highly recommend Fox & Fox to anyone looking for expert counsel.

Attorney Peter Fox took my employment whistleblower case where I was the victim of retaliation - to say the odds were stacked against me would be an understatement. I faced a team of lawyers with an unlimited budget and I was all alone. Peter looked beyond the difficult circumstances of my case because he saw a victim of injustice and he would not let that stand. He fought for me and my family and he won the case. It was a very emotional time and I can honestly say we made it through because of Peter Fox. He not only represented me but he saw me through this storm with compassion and encouragement. He gave me hope when I thought all hope was lost, often calling me on the phone just to ask how I was doing. Peter cared about me as a person not just a client - words cannot truly express how much that meant to me. He carried me through one of the most trying times of my life - and the thing is... he didn't have to. He could have easily passed on my case and a lesser attorney would have. But this is the thing about Peter Fox - he believes in doing the right thing no matter what the outcome. He believes in justice and he believed in me - I don't think I can ever thank him enough for that. I cannot express how much that meant to me, how much it helped me to stand up. There are times when special people touch your life and through who they are - you become a better person. My experience with Peter Fox is an example of one of those times. I highly recommend Peter Fox and Fox & Fox, S.C.

Over the past 30 years, in a prior professional capacity, I had the opportunity to work with literally hundreds of attorney’s. Now that I am retired and reside in S.E. Wisconsin I found myself requiring the services of an attorney well versed in employment law. I contacted over a dozen firms in the Milwaukee/Madison/S.E. Wisconsin area and was fortunate to have found Peter Fox.
From the time I first spoke to Peter until the conclusion of my case, which included going to the United States Court of Appeals for the 7th District, I can honestly say I couldn’t have asked for better representation. His expert knowledge of this complicated aspect of the law as well as his integrity, tenacity and ability to present my case to a jury were exactly what I was looking for. While many attorney’s I’ve dealt with in the past are unwilling or hesitant to proceed to a jury trial, not Peter, when he realized that was the best option for my situation, we discussed the pro’s and con’s in detail so I could make the best informed decision on how best to proceed.
During the long/protracted period it took my case to work through the court system Peter was always willing, day or night as well as weekends, to quickly respond to any questions I had. If he wasn’t sure of the answer his detailed research of the law, coupled with the outstanding team effort with the entire Fox & Fox staff, resulted in an easy to understand reply. In the courtroom Peter was most impressive tailoring his approach to best allow the jury to understand the complexities of the case. Most important to me was the fact his integrity was always above reproach.
In summary, if you are in need of an attorney who is a subject matter expert, goes above and beyond to ensure the welfare of his client, communicates effectively and efficiently, and maintains the highest standards of integrity, then contact Peter Fox. I have referred several associates to him and all have told me they couldn’t have been more impressed. It’s no wonder he has been recognized by his peers as a recipient of the prestigious “Leader’s in the Law,” and is a Fellow of the Wisconsin Law Foundation and a Super Lawyer.”

I would highly recommend Peter Fox, Fox and Fox S.C., who represented me in an employment matter. Peter is a strong advocate and does what he says he is going to do. He will not hesitate to litigate a case, is an exceptional strategist, and forthright with his opinion. Peter always took the time to answer questions and promptly returned phone calls / e-mail. He has a great passion for representing the underdog and getting results. I would have no hesitation retaining Peter or his firm again if needed.

Peter Fox stood shoulder to shoulder with me and fought a prolonged, incredibly complex, highly sensitive legal battle that he saw all the way through to a positive outcome. The odds were stacked against me and both of us knew that going in. However, as he so eloquently told me, he knew I was backed into a corner, he was in there with me, and he was going to get me out. And he did. Mine and my family's appreciation for all he did for us cannot fully be described in words. More than being an incredibly brilliant strategist and in-depth legal expert, Peter Fox (and by extension his firm) not only gets the legal job done, they actually tremendously care about their clients. The impact of my situation almost destroyed me and my family. For anyone out there facing a David vs Goliath situation, who thinks all hope is lost and is considering giving up, don't do it, contact Peter Fox instead. He will give you his honest, unvarnished opinion of your case, your chances for success, and will ultimately leave the decision to proceed or not up to you. Only you can decide if the risks of proceeding in a high stakes situation are worth the known and possible costs. But if you decide it's worth it, there is no one better to have in your corner than Peter Fox. When he says "Winning Matters," he means it. What he accomplished for me and my family allowed us to move on with our lives in a dignified, restorative way. He will forever be one of my most trusted and respected advisers, because he stood by me and believed in me when hardly anyone else did, and he had no problem staring Goliath right in the eye and taking on the fight. If you're going through a tough time right now, my heart goes out to you. Do yourself and your family a favor and talk to Peter Fox about your case. If anyone stands a real shot at helping you, it's him. Thank you Peter, for helping me get my life back. Without you, my prospects would have been dismal. Today, we are living in peace and cherish each day, and that would not have been possible without you. You're a true blessing in the legal field that you are called to!

Peter Fox is AWESOME! He stayed by my side all the way to the Supreme Court with winning results for me after a 9 year battle on an employment discrimination issue. Being a father himself he understands dedication and loyalty and will be a friend for life to both my husband and I. He definitely knows how to help the "underdog" and win his cases! Thank you Peter!!

You have been warned to not use Mr. Richard Ross. Very rude and condescending individual. I contacted the Fox and Fox office involving a US Department of Labor investigation that need to be followed up on after employer refused to pay back wages as directed by the federal government. Mr. Ross informed me that an investigation could not have been done by the US Department Labor with out a written complaint, which is a complete contradiction of the information I received for the head of the Wage and Hours division of the US Dept. of Labor this morning.
Mr. Ross informed me that it is my responsibility to get that complaint on my own. There was no written complaint made by me, the complaint was taken by phone, which was explained to Mr. Ross, who then explained that it was not possible. He doesn't know his information, and refuses to take action like an attorney should. If you're looking for an attorney who takes action, don't go with Mr. Richard Ross. He'll expect you to do all the leg work which is close to impossible when working with an agency like the US Dept of Labor, and then expect still get paid.
I have talked with people at the Cross Law Firm that were willing to take action of retrieving the information needed for court from the US Dept of Labor after our initial consultation. It would be my suggestion to contact the Cross Law Firm with all of you employment law needs.
