Benson Law Office, Ltd.

Lummis Law Office LLC is a focused family law practice serving Portage County and the surrounding central Wisconsin region from its offices in Stevens Point, a mid-sized university city at the confluence of the Plover and Wisconsin Rivers in the heart of the state. Founded as a limited liability company reflecting the modern solo-practice model common among client-centered family law attorneys, the firm brings personalized attention to divorce, legal separation, child custody, and support matters for individuals navigating some of the most consequential legal events of their lives. The lummislawoffice.com platform connects prospective clients throughout the Portage County area to the firm's services and scheduling resources. Stevens Point is anchored by the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, a campus of approximately 7,000 students whose presence shapes the local demographic with a mix of faculty, staff, graduate students, and long-term residents. Portage County's family court dockets include a range of matters from straightforward uncontested divorces to complex custody disputes involving parents at different stages of life and career. Lummis Law Office LLC serves this diverse clientele with an understanding of how Wisconsin's physical placement framework under §767.41 applies to shared parenting arrangements, including the creation of detailed placement schedules that account for academic calendars, extracurricular activities, and the geographic realities of central Wisconsin living. Wisconsin's marital property system under Chapter 766 and its property division framework under §767.61 present both opportunities and challenges for clients in Portage County, whose marital estates frequently include modest residential property, retirement savings through employer plans, and personal business interests in the county's growing health care and educational sectors. The firm assists clients in understanding the equal division presumption and the circumstances under which courts may deviate from equal division. Spousal maintenance under §767.56 is analyzed in light of each couple's employment history, and the 120-day waiting period from service of summons is used constructively to prepare clients for the financial adjustments post-dissolution. Central Wisconsin offers a lifestyle built around natural amenities — the Plover River, Schmeeckle Reserve, and the Green Circle Trail system that winds through Stevens Point — and Lummis Law Office LLC understands how these community ties influence custody decisions and the desire to remain in the area post-divorce. The firm approaches family law not merely as a legal transaction but as a transition requiring clarity, practical guidance, and a strong advocate who understands Portage County's courts, its people, and the values that matter most to families rebuilding their lives.
