FALKOWSKI LAW FIRM, LLC

Attorney Falkowski will be a guest speaker where he will discuss Powers of Attorney with the host, Mr. Paul Snamiska.

With the construction of West Bend’s downtown Main Street, we understand it may be difficult for some clients to find parking and to access our law firm from the 120 North Main Street “front entrance”.  It is our understanding that there will still be sidewalk access for some time, however, if you are dependent on ramps or elevator access, attending appointments using the front door access may be more difficult at this time. We have also been notified that the Centrum Building's Elevator will be out of service from May 22, 2023 - approximately June 23, 2023 to accommodate an elevator upgrade. 

​

For your information, there is also a “back entrance” to our building on 6th Avenue, but unfortunately this entrance has steps and no direct access to the elevator in the building.  If this is inconvenient or going to be a problem for your upcoming appointment, please call (or email) our office in advance and we can either reschedule your appointment for after the downtown construction is completed (end of October 2023) or we can make other arrangements to have a phone conference, an online meeting, or to accommodate your visit to our law firm in some other way.  Thank you for your understanding. 

Attorney Falkowski will be a guest speaker where he will discuss TODs (transfer on death designations) and PODs (payable on death designations) with the host, Mr. Paul Snamiska.

Falkowski Law Firm, LLC opened its doors to the public on July 9, 2018.  After working over 20 years at Shanebrook & Falkowski Law Office, LLP in Suite 310 of the Centrum Building we decided to make the big move (down the elevator) to Suite 240.  Planning and arranging a new law office can be a daunting task, but now that the physical move is over we are all excited about our new location.  Our phone number (262) 338-1750 remains the same, but we did update our email and website.  All confidential client files originating from Shanebrook & Falkowski Law Office, LLP remain secure at Falkowski Law Firm, LLC.
