Legal Question in Consumer Law in Wisconsin

My first bit of advice to you is to NEVER give your birthdate or even your name to anyone who calls you; rather, only do this if you initiate the call and know exactly who you are speaking with. Even then, you should hesitate and only give this information out if there is an extremely good reason. The same applies to giving information out to websites; if you do, you are literally begging to have your identity stolen. If you must give this out in order to participate in, for example, a social networking site, make up a birth date rather than using your actual one. Most "cold call" telemarketing these days is from scammers, and this is also true of most email offers which you may get. The safest presumption in life is that all sales pitches are scams until proven otherwise. Once you engage a scammer in a conversation, you may already be subject to a fraud and the odds only increase with every second that you continue the conversation. For setting up commercial phone service in an office, the industry standard is for a sales rep to make an appointment and visit you personally, NOT via telemarketing.

However, I would be more than happy to discuss possible representation with you via a private email or via the inquiry link on my private office website.
