Chris Theisen did a truly wonderful job on our family's case. Chris treated us with the utmost kindness and respect and made us feel at ease with his knowledge and expertise. Robin also did an outstanding job easing us through the process, responded promptly, and answered all our questions. We highly recommend Thiesen & Roche LTD.

When I decided to bring suit from a personal injury, Id had next to no legal experience in my life, but having Chris Theisen as my lawyer was like being shepherded through my casewhich, believe me, had many interesting twists and turns!by a knowledgeable good friend. Chris is not only an extremely competent attorney, but his proactive willingness to keep me always in the loop as things developed, his personal availability to answer promptly all my many questions, and the general graciousness with which I was always addressed by both Chris and his staff made what could have been very challenging circumstances proceed smoothly to a quite successful conclusion. As his client, I found Chris to be excellent in every respect and to anyone looking for a good lawyer would recommend him without hesitation.
