Summary
In 1995, attorney James K. Jaskolski was fresh out of law school and handling one of his first divorce cases. While he sat quietly next to his client, Ronald J. Jaskolski, his father and boss, thundered away at opposing counsel.
Beaver Dam attorney James H. Olson, of Olson Law Offices LLC, got a sick feeling when a letter from a nearby community bank arrived at his home. The letter was from the bank vice-president, who told Olson that his assistant had been cashing checks on an account that Olson never created. The VP tried to contact Olson at his office, but the calls never went through.
