Cornell Law Office, LLC

Consigny Law is a focused family law practice serving Janesville and Rock County from a base in Wisconsin's fourth-largest city, a mid-sized manufacturing center in the southeastern corner of the state near the Illinois border. Operating under the domain janesvillelaw.com, the firm signals its deep commitment to serving the Janesville community — a city of approximately 67,000 residents that has reinvented itself economically in the decades since the closure of its General Motors assembly plant in 2009, the same plant that gave former Speaker Paul Ryan his formative political education in the struggles of the American working class. The firm brings focused expertise in Wisconsin family law to clients navigating divorce, custody, and support matters in Rock County Circuit Court. Rock County's economic profile — a blend of blue-collar manufacturing workers, small business owners, and a growing professional class — shapes the nature of the family law matters that come before Consigny Law. The firm assists clients across the income spectrum, from workers with union pensions and defined benefit plans to business owners with complex partnership structures, in understanding how Wisconsin's marital property framework under Chapter 766 and the §767.61 equal division presumption apply to their specific circumstances. The Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS), one of the most well-funded public pension systems in the nation, frequently appears in Rock County divorce cases involving public-sector employees, and the firm assists clients in dividing WRS benefits through the appropriate domestic relations order process. Legal custody and physical placement under §767.41 are areas in which Consigny Law provides particular depth, helping clients in Janesville and across Rock County craft placement schedules that account for work shifts, school districts, and the co-parenting dynamics that arise when couples separate in a mid-sized city where both parties frequently remain in close proximity. Wisconsin's 120-day waiting period from service of summons is used strategically by the firm to prepare clients for final hearings, negotiate temporary orders, and — where possible — pursue mediated resolutions that reduce litigation costs and preserve co-parenting relationships. Janesville's location along Interstate 90/39 and its position as the hub of Rock County give Consigny Law clients access to a practitioner who understands both the urban dynamics of a city-courthouse setting and the rural realities of the broader Rock County county, which includes agricultural communities like Beloit, Beloit Township, and Milton. The firm's local identity, reflected in its janesvillelaw.com branding, underscores a commitment to Janesville and Rock County that goes beyond transactional legal services — offering clients an attorney embedded in the community whose professional reputation is built on outcomes for Wisconsin families.
