Matthew Prior Law Office

Englund & Associates is a family law firm serving Sauk County and the south-central Wisconsin region from its offices in Baraboo, a charming small city nestled in the Baraboo Range between Devils Lake and the Wisconsin Dells corridor. The firm's domain, baraboodellslaw.com, reflects its dual service identity spanning two of Wisconsin's most recognizable geographic names: Baraboo, the county seat and historic home of the Ringling Brothers Circus (now preserved at the Circus World Museum), and the Wisconsin Dells, the tourist resort destination immediately to the north that draws millions of visitors annually to its waterparks, boat tours through the scenic sandstone Dells formations, and family entertainment venues. Englund & Associates brings a multi-attorney team approach to family law matters for Sauk County residents whose lives and assets are often intertwined with the unique character of this remarkable region. Sauk County's economy blends tourism, agriculture, and small-business entrepreneurship in ways that create distinctive challenges in divorce proceedings. Waterpark and resort businesses along the Wisconsin Dells corridor, dairy farms in the county's agricultural interior, and retail establishments tied to the tourism economy represent the kinds of closely held business interests that frequently require valuation and division in dissolution cases. Wisconsin's §767.61 equal division presumption provides the starting framework, and Englund & Associates assists clients in presenting statutory deviation arguments where the nature and source of business assets, pre-marital contributions, or extraordinary efforts of one spouse merit consideration. Devils Lake State Park attracts over three million visitors annually, making Sauk County one of Wisconsin's busiest recreational destinations and contributing to the county's overall economic vitality. The firm's attorneys are experienced in Wisconsin's physical placement framework and the construction of parenting plans for Sauk County families, many of whom work in seasonal or shift-based employment tied to the tourism industry. Placement schedules that account for summer tourism season work schedules, school calendars, and the practical realities of rural commuting are crafted with precision by Englund & Associates attorneys familiar with the demands of Sauk County family life. Spousal maintenance under §767.56 is analyzed in light of the region's wage structures, which can be substantial for successful resort operators but more modest for seasonal or hospitality workers, and the firm navigates these income disparities thoughtfully. Baraboo's position as Sauk County's governmental and judicial center means that Englund & Associates attorneys maintain active relationships within the Sauk County Circuit Court system, understanding the preferences and practices of local judges and court commissioners who handle family law matters. The firm combines this local institutional knowledge with comprehensive Wisconsin family law expertise to serve clients throughout the county — from Lake Delton and Wisconsin Dells in the north to Reedsburg in the west and Merrimac and Prairie du Sac along the Wisconsin River to the south. Englund & Associates represents the kind of established, community-rooted family law practice that clients in a region as distinctive as the Baraboo-Dells corridor can rely on during life's most challenging transitions.
