What Clients are Saying...
My name is Tom Collins and I am the co-owner of Collins Sanitary LLC in Clinton, Wisconsin. Our business is pumping and disposal of residential septic tank and commercial food processing wastes. We have been in this business for 28 years.
In 2004, we decided to diversify the business and began the process of building a 2-million gallon Harvestore SlurryStoreâ. The reason we decided to diversify our business was to control our costs by reducing or potentially eliminating the municipal disposal costs and to also reduce or eliminate the fertilizer costs on our family farm. Making the decision to build the SlurryStoreâ was the easy part of this project. Getting the approval of the local town board and cooperation of a few neighbors was the real challenge.
- Enter Mr. Frank Jablonski of Progressive Law Group LLC -
As a small business, we tried to negotiate our differences without the help of an attorney, but it didn't take long to realize we were in over our head. I looked through the Madison Yellow Pages for an attorney that was familiar with environmental issues. There were many ads, but I decided to call Frank Jablonski. His ad gave me the impression that I would be dealing with a personal businessman, not a big impersonal law firm. I made the right choice!
When I called Frank for the first time, I talked to him. He made me feel like our case was his #1 priority. Using Frank's services saved us money in the long run, because he was able to help us get through the permitting processes and hearings that the local government required.
Frank served us very well. His knowledge, professionalism, and integrity are qualities that set him apart from the other law firms. I highly recommend him with complete confidence.

Frank,
When the phone company repeatedly screwed up my restaurant’s telephone listings, I knew I needed the best legal help I could get. As a former lawyer, I chose Frank Jablonski and his firm to represent my business because he is smart, ethical, and effective. I also knew he would have the toughness and stamina needed to take on a big company with their armies of lawyers and aggressive tactics. After defeating several attempts to get my case thrown out of court, we were able to get the result we needed. When you take on an elephant you need the right caliber of lawyer. You need Frank Jablonski.

To whom it may concern:
We had gotten ourselves into a bad business situation where we were looking at possibly having to pay out most of what we own to cover the debts of a business we owned with a couple of other people. We brought our situation to Frank, and when we couldn’t work our way out of the mess by negotiating with the other owners, he brought a lawsuit for us.
Things got very tough but Frank would just not let us lose. Because he just kept looking for a way to win, and refusing to give up, we were finally able to work a way out of that mess we got into, and we owe it to him. He was great. He always called back, and he always let us know what was going on. We don’t think you can do better.

To whom it may concern:
Clean Air Madison was expertly and exquisitely represented by Frank Jablonski of Progressive Law Group. Frank helped us take on big industry. He made it affordable for a grass roots organization to play and WIN against a large company with unlimited resources. Frank's passion for protecting the kids in our neighborhood and the environment, along with his legal prowess and attention to detail on all fronts was amazing. This was a scary process for many of us to go through and Frank was there with kind reassurances at every step. He is an outstanding attorney with a huge knowledge base. Frank is also a stunning writer which made his briefs a work of art. And along with his expert analysis and assessment of what needed to be done on the legal front he was there to help guide us through many other areas as well, like dealing with the media and public relations matters. He's a great strategist. We are extremely grateful to him for the hard work and dedication which he put forth on our behalf. Frank's energy and smarts gave Clean Air Madison a victory over a big time polluter. We are eternally grateful to him.

Dear Frank,
Thanks to you, Frank, and your law firm, for your dedication in winning important battles in our family's long legal fight to secure justice and restitution.
Almost six years ago now, our family suddenly found itself in a desperate and tragic situation involving our elderly Aunt Helen.
Our circumstances were overwhelming; the landlord had evicted Helen. After that, he seized and controlled her property.
As if that were not enough, while Helen lay sick and dying, almost all of her life savings were stolen by her supposed “temporary guardian” while the big bank from which Helen’s money was taken sat by and allowed Helen’s accounts to be raided and drained.
We needed to be heard; we needed answers; we needed action; we needed a sharp lawyer who could navigate both the law and the frustrating legal system. You had the courage and compassion to take our family's complicated cases.
While most lawyers would have jumped ship by withdrawing, your commitment to our cases and our family continued. You sorted through the complications and overcame the long odds against us by working very hard. Thank you (and your family) for all the late nights you put into this.
If anyone were to come to me asking about a lawyer who can really be trusted, I would suggest they contact you and your firm.

We are Citizens for a Safe Environment. We are a group of five families living west of Watertown, Wisconsin, site of the July 19th, 2005 tire fire, a disaster visible from satellites in space. Watertown Tire Recyclers, where the fire occurred, was one of the three largest tire recyclers in Wisconsin.
Watertown Tire Recyclers had been a concern to us, its rural neighbors, for years. Enormous ugly piles of tires built up on the site, posing fire hazards and providing mosquito and pest breeding grounds. After trying for years to work with local government officials and the Wisconsin DNR to get this business into compliance with its legal limits, our five families organized together and formed what became known as CFSE or Citizens for a Safe Environment. With government agencies refusing to act, we had come to the point where we felt like we had to look at legal action against Watertown Tire Recyclers to get this business into compliance and to not be a danger to the public.
One of our members contacted Frank Jablonski of Progressive Law Group LLC. With Frank’s guidance and assistance we were able to form what became a small but strong group. With Frank as our attorney we went up against an established business, the Wisconsin DNR and local government. Frank helped us get organized, he kept us on track, he walked us through everything we needed to do, he encouraged us to do things we never imagined ourselves doing (like contacting state officials and making public appearances). Ultimately the fire - -a potential disaster that we specifically warned about in our lawsuit - - occurred, changing our original goal. With Frank’s help we were able to become a “player” in a wider legal process that resulted in a plan requiring Watertown Tire Recyclers to cut its operations, pay local first responders, and eventually, shut down.
Many thanks to Frank and his law firm for all his hard work, guidance and encouragement.
Sincerely,
Citizens for a Safe Environment Members
