Our Firm

I worked with Mary on my father’s estate. It was the easiest and smoothest experience for me as I am an only child and my father didn’t have a will. She took care of it all and explained the process along the way. I am forever grateful for the ease of the process during a difficult time.

I was recently represented by Attorney Trevor Peterson for a child custody matter, in which the other parent lived out of state. I couldn't have asked for better representation. He, and his team, kept me informed throughout the entire process. They were always quick to address any questions, or concerns that I had. I would definitely recommend them, especially if your situation is more complex than normal.

This is truly the best law office around! Everyone is so nice and helpful. Attorney Mary John helped us make changes to our estate documents and was fantastic to work with. From the time you walk into the office and are greeted by Kelly, to the time you receive the updated documents, everything was perfect. Highly reccomend!

Mary John updated our estate plan. We were able to get an appointment quickly. She was friendly, professional and promptly completed the plan. She took the time to explain different options so we could make the best choice to meet our needs. Highly recommend!

This was a great experience. Mary was a pleasure to work with.

Very professional!

We found Attorney Mary John with Eaton Law delightful to work with. She was very informative and explained things very comprehensively. We found her to be thorough and informative - and kept our best interest first and foremost.

I am incredibly thankful for Trevor Peterson's assistance during a difficult custody case for my daughter. Trevor's expertise and guidance were invaluable throughout the process. He patiently explained each step, ensuring I felt informed and supported.

Trevor's dedication to advocating for fathers' rights was evident in his approach to my case. His professionalism and attention to detail were commendable, and I felt confident in his abilities from the start.

Thanks to Trevor's efforts, we achieved a positive outcome in court. I highly recommend Trevor Peterson to anyone in need of a family law attorney. Thank you, Trevor, for your outstanding service and support during a challenging time.

Thus far we have worked with this law firm on two separate occasions. Both times we worked with Mary John. We found her very knowledgeable and efficient. We truly enjoyed working with her on both occasions.

Our estate plan was completed in a timely manner, and the cost was exactly what the firm estimated it would be. Our attorney, Mary John, listened to us and answered all our questions. We couldn't be happier with our Estate Planning Documents.

Attorney Mary John updated my estate documents in 2002 and again recently. I recommend her highly for her attention to detail and ability to write concisely , clearly and in a way the keeps the documents pertinent for years. She’s also a pleasure to work with.

My lawyer Trevor Peterson was so nice and I would highly recommend him to anyone! Pamela Parent and Atty Peterson were super helpful in my family law case in regards to child custody. They made the process quick and painless. I was able to come to a settlement agreement versus having to go to trial and they made that possible for me. Thank you so much.

Professional, caring, friendly and prompt service. I would highly recommend this firm.

Atty Trevor Peterson and his paralegal, Pam, handled my divorce and while rather simple and uncomplicated; they were both very personable and I felt as though they both had a vested interest in my case. I would strongly recommend Atty Peterson to my family and friends.

Trevor Peterson was my knight in shining armor!!! He has a very kind nature and was able to help me through a long drawn out 2 1/2 year divorce. He was able to work well with the opposing counsel and come up with a very fair deal. I am a business owner, and it was very helpful to have someone on my side who understood exactly what I was going through and fought for me.

I had a different attorney representing me for the first two years of my divorce and I am so happy I switched to Eaton Law Firm!! Going through a divorce as a business owner, and specifically a female business owner is especially stressful, and I truly am thankful for everything he did for me.

Dale was extremely professional yet personable. He helped my company retrieve a refund from a vendor who otherwise wouldn’t deliver the full amount owed.

My husband and I had a great experience while working with Trevor. We can not thank him enough for helping us through our case. Trevor was very personal and dedicated to help us win our case. He changed our lives immensely. We would highly recommend anybody to work with Trevor.

Attorney Dale Eaton was beyond helpful in my case. He is a great listener, very strategic thinker, and was able to help me in so many ways. I'd highly recommend his legal service to others.

First class Law Firm. Took great care of me during my divorce hearing allowing me to keep my business. Thanks Dale

This team is absolutely top notch! I was in quite a predicament and Dale was able to help me out & make sure everything was all good. Everyone was very nice and I'd recommend this firm to anyone looking for a lawyer.

Trevor is an amazing attorney! I highly recommend him.

They helped me tremendously! I gave my retainer and instantly they got the ball rolling. Within a very short time my matter was dealt with in a respectful and professional manner. Trust me you want these guys on your side! they get results.

The city of wausau proves to have some shady attorney's. I hired Dale Eaton after a lengthy conversation about the goals I had for my peticular case. He told me everything I wanted to hear. I paid him a $2500 dollar retainer. We had a trial date set and coming up and I tried contacting Mr. Eaton several times in the coming weeks before trial with no luck. 2 days before trial I get an email from Mr.Eaton stating he was substituting another attorney by the name of Trevor Peterson because he had overbooked on another big business meeting and Trevor was to be my new attorney. Trevor has limited experience in the type of case I have. Thankfully the trial got pushed out but then Mr Eaton decides to bill me another 4997.02 for his services. That's rediculous. These people are crooks. Please don't put yourself in a shady situation like I did. Look elsewhere for a attorney that is honest and has integrity.i have hired a new attorney and I will be filing a grievance against this firm

I am going to edit this review in response to their reply. I never said Trevor Peterson was a bad attorney. The problem lies with Dale Eaton who owns the firm. Mr Eaton knows better than to substitute an attorney for a client. Especially without the clients knowledge or approval and then to charge that client the amount of money he did is way left field. We will let the grievance I am filing iron this out

Listened to client wants and needs! Gave different ideas and discussed what goes on by take which choice. Very well informed! Thank You!

Trevor and Pam were a pleasure to work with! Both were very knowledgeable, helpful, and made the process much easier.

We were extremely pleased with the service provided by Mary John for our estate planning and Scott Jackman for our corporation needs. We highly recommend them. Their support staff are incredibly kind and professional, as well.

I recently had a harassment charge put on me with a very short notice injunction (3 days), and had Trevor Peterson from Eaton Law handle it for me. From the initial sit down, until the end, my worries were lightened by his professionalism. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome.

Mary John at this firm was timely, precise, professional and honest. What more could you ask for? Mary was consistently professional & patient as we gathered needed documents. I recommend this firm and Mary John with the utmost sincerity and confidence.

Thank you for getting us in so quickly! Great professional service! We were recommended to your office and we will do the same.

Dale Eaton was extremely professional and responsive to all questions and concerns that I had with my legal situation. I recommend anyone who needs legal assistance to contact him.

Mr. Eaton did a wonderfully thorough job researching cases in the field that I required his guidance for, he was extremely knowledgeable and informative. With his help there was an out-of-court settlement reached in a timely manner. I could not ask for a better experience with a legal matter!!!

Attorney Dale Eaton frames the defense of his clients with high integrity and provides representation based on his vast knowledge of the law and legal precedent. His ability to reason and explain with civility, and without unnecessary condemnation and judgement of adversaries is admirable.

As a new business owner, I had an opportunity to do some independent contract work with a global company in the industry of my expertise. I was very excited about it, and ready to just sign on the dotted line. But then my better senses told me to have a legal review of the contract first. The attorneys at Eaton John Overbey Jackman reviewed the contract terms and pointed out several areas of concern that could have left me financially vulnerable. They provided a thorough draft of recommended changes which provided the foundation for my contract negotiations. I was able to approach the contract discussions with clarity and confidence, and we signed a deal that protected my business interests while ensuring me increased financial security. It was nice to have the legal expertise of this firm protecting my interests all along the way. I would highly recommend this law firm for small businesses like mine.

Did a good job

Mary John helped to finalize the estate of my sister after her untimely death. It was a long, slow process, but our situation was not normal. I appreciate everything she did to expedite the process.

Yes, I highly recommend Mary John to handle any of your estate needs.

Called twice with no receptionist to answer. Left two messages requesting a call back for family law representation. Never got a call back. After my review posted i received a voice mail from a senior partner apologizing for the two missed calls that she looked into as well as an explanation on how the calls were missed. The following day I received a phone call from the receptionist her self with a full sincere apology from her. We are all human and make mistakes so apologies accepted. I can see they do care about their professionalism and quickly made right of a mistake that was brought to their attention. My rating of yhem went from a one star to a four.

I was in a bad marriage and needed a lawyer. I was lucky to have a friend that used the services of Attorney Overbey for his divorce and Daniel came highly recommended. I met with Daniel and knew that he was the Attorney I needed to get the job done. Attorney Overbey is well spoken, respected by the courts, honest, caring, and really does have my best interests in mind. He worked very hard to keep my costs in check but ensured that the job was done right. He is an attorney with high moral standards. I feel lucky to have had Attorney Overbey represent me. I am better off today than I ever thought I would be thanks to him being in my corner. I feel it should also be mentioned that the staff at EJOJ is FANTASTIC. From the moment you call and are greeted by a friendly voice that always recognized my voice and asked how I was, to Daniels Paralegal Pamela, the team is outstanding. There were even a few issues in my divorce that other people in the office needed to be brought in for guidance on and those issues were handled with ease, smoothly, and with total team integration. The service I received was beyond my expectations and I can’t thank Daniel and the team enough.

Update - I needed the services of Daniel for a contempt motion against my ex. Again, he and the team are simply fantastic! There are not enough words to express my gratitude to Daniel and the whole EJOJ team!

Mary John was so helpful. She took my call right away. Gave me advice on a realestate transaction, and made a recommendation for a title company. Very professional!

Mary John was very pleasant to deal with, but very assertive in getting a slow investment company to honor their obligations. She used the correct legal terminology to forcefully motivate them to follow through on what they agreed to. Her price was also very reasonable. We were impressed that she returned part of the original retainer. I recommend this trustworthy autorney of high integrity.

Attorney Mary John of Eaton, John, Overbey, Jackman, LLP was very competent and complete in her approach to solving our family's estate needs. She was able to resolve our issues without a petition to the court. I have already recommended Lawyer Mary John to several friends and relatives

I have known and worked with Dale & Mary for over 20 years. They set the standard for professionalism and experience. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for legal advise.
