About Attorney Awards

About this firm

For over 50 years, Bye, Goff & Rohde has stood as Wisconsin's premier personal injury law firm, representing accident victims throughout Wisconsin and Minnesota from offices in River Falls, Eau Claire, and La Crosse. Founded in 1974, our firm has built an exceptional reputation for delivering multi-million dollar results while treating every client with the personal attention and respect they deserve.

Board-Certified Excellence You Can Trust

All attorney partners at Bye, Goff & Rohde are board-certified through The National Board of Trial Advocacy (NBTA)—among the highest honors a lawyer can receive. Only 3% of American lawyers achieve this distinction. Board certification demonstrates our commitment to the highest standards of expertise and ethical conduct in personal injury law, ensuring our clients receive representation that is truly trial-tested and continuously evolving with the legal landscape.

Our firm also holds the AV Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell, an honor bestowed on only 8% of lawyers nationwide. This peer-review distinction confirms that fellow attorneys and judges recognize our legal ability and ethical standards as superior.

Comprehensive Personal Injury Representation

While many personal injury firms limit their practice to car accident cases, Bye, Goff & Rohde handles the full spectrum of injury cases. Our 215 years of combined experience encompasses motor vehicle accidents of all types (car, truck, motorcycle, bus, rideshare, and RV), recreational vehicle incidents (ATV, snowmobile, boating, jet ski), aviation accidents, premises liability claims (slip and fall, dog bites, chemical exposure), product liability cases (defective products and dangerous drugs), catastrophic injuries (brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, burns), wrongful death, and workplace accidents (construction, farm, and industrial injuries).

This comprehensive approach means Wisconsin and Minnesota families can turn to one trusted firm regardless of how their injury occurred. Whether you were hurt in a drunk driving crash on I-94, injured by a defective product, suffered a devastating fall at a local business, or lost a loved one in a workplace accident, our attorneys have the specialized knowledge and resources to maximize your recovery.

Results-Driven Advocacy with a Personal Touch

Our firm's trial-ready approach has secured multi-million dollar settlements and verdicts for our clients. Insurance companies know we don't settle for less than fair compensation, giving us significant leverage in negotiations. Plus, we work on a contingency fee basis with no upfront costs—you only pay if we win.

What truly distinguishes Bye, Goff & Rohde is our belief that personal relationships matter. You'll never get lost in the shuffle. Our clients have direct access to their attorneys, paralegals, and legal assistants throughout the legal process. Beyond the courtroom, we're deeply invested in our communities through volunteer work with Relay for Life, Mock Trial coaching, food donation drives, and support for organizations addressing homelessness and food insecurity.

At Bye, Goff & Rohde, your welfare is our first priority. We're proud to be your personal advocate when you need it most.
