Phil is an excellent attorney who takes the time to listen to my needs as a client. He is a highly ethical, motivated representative of my current case, and provides me with peace of mind. With him as part of my legal team, I don’t have to worry about the next steps, as he navigates those for me. It’s nice to have competent legal counsel to take the worry and the burden off of my shoulders. He proving to be an above-average expert in real estate law, and it will be my pleasure to refer him to my friends and family should they ever need this type of attorney in the future. As the owner of multiple pieces of transient rental real estate, it’s great to know that any future challenges that I face as an owner, I can involve Phil and allow him to handle it all!

If you’re in the air about a lawyer to choose, just stop looking, and go with Michael. This man is an absolute saint in my eyes. A hero, if you will. Now, these things don’t happen over night, so as long as you have a little bit of patience, it will surely go a long ways. This man not only helped me get my children back after I had them taken through addiction, but he was so calm and understanding about the entire process. From day one he made me feel comfortable and confident that he was the right man for the job, and he was going to get it done. He’s very good about staying in contact with you throughout the entirety of your process, and is willing, and WILL jump through all the necessary hoops. I never really felt like I was talking to a lawyer when I was speaking with him, because he’s such a genuine guy. The man knows his stuff inside and out, and loves his Browns for any of you dedicated fans out there; Michael Asseff is your guy. 10/10 would recommend, and I absolutely plan on keeping him as my lawyer.

My husband and I did estate planning with him and all went well. I contacted him a few months later and asked if he couldnreview our trust and update. He agreed and asked me to provide a copy of our trust. I drove a copy to the office. We called him five times over a month for an update on whether he could update and he wouldn't call us back or provide an update. I called a final time requesting the documents back since he wouldn't respond and when I didn't get another call back, I went to the office and he wasn't there. The office staff called him and stated he would call me. He text me instead, relaying I could pick up the documents the following day. No explanation or apologies were given. I would not recommend this law firm.

I called Ms.Giovanna Bremke after hiring a law firm and having them decide not to take my case. I then called two other lawyers offices and was given the worst advice and I was made to feel like I couldn’t get any help with my case which was a felony child support case that I had been trying to resolve forever. I was terrified and scared that I wasn’t going to be able to have an attorney that actually took the time to talk to me and understand my case, but I called Ms.Bremkes firm after getting a referral from a family friend. I genuinely wanted to just give up and not deal with it at all but when I talked to Ms.Bremke she was so understanding and handled my case with utter efficiency and took care of everything so fast and swift that I was in shock. I couldn’t believe that after all the other firms had me scared to death to turn my self in that she was able to give my side to the court and come to a final decision so quick and now I don’t have to worry about it anymore. She is absolutely the best attorney I have ever dealt with and I absolutely recommend her to everyone. I hope I won’t be needing an attorney anytime soon but if I did there’s only one firm I would call and that’s hers. Thank you so much for helping me with my legal matter I’m truly grateful.

If you are in need of legal services or advice, contact Bremke Law! Giovanna is a phenomenal attorney. She is knowledgeable, professional and looks out for your best interest. Giovanna took the time to speak to me about a contractor issue I was having and provided me with options and practical advice. She truly put my mind at ease and I would recommend her to anyone looking for legal advice or services!

I feel compelled to write this review after attorney Giovanna Bremke was hired for a non-criminal legal matter. People contact attorneys to navigate them through an unfamiliar, overwhelming and stressful legal situation. I found attorney Bremke fails to return telephone calls, fails to communicate effectively the legal processes and becomes dismissive and condescending when I requested further explanation. Attorney Bremke was not interested in nor supportive of family and community resources. Attorney Bremke's interpretation of our conversations were factually incorrect and self-serving. It is important for other who may consider hiring her know my experience.

I used Attorney Marcie for my purchase of a piece of commercial real estate. He walked me through the steps of the purchase and closing and made me comfortable throughout the transaction. I would highly recommend him.

Atty. Marcie helped my husband and me understand how estate planning can optimize the assets we want to leave for our children. He spoke to us in plain English instead of "legalese" - spent a lot of time with us and accommodated our time constraints for our appointment.

I have met many attorneys and have to say Atty. Marcie is one of the most knowledgeable and intelligent attorneys that I know. He always returns my calls the same day or the next, always makes sure I'm clear as to how to proceed and never charges "an arm and a leg" for his services. He has been my attorney for probating my parents' estates, planning my estate, an auto accident, and a case where I was sued by a former landlord (we won!) I'm so glad I found him!

He was very honest with me , didn't sugar coat a thing which is what I need . Thank you for all of the information about CPS in Montgomery county Ohio. I did call juvinelle public defender which they wouldn't speak to me unless I had a case . Which doesn't look like I do and we are hitting 40 something days since they first showed up while I was in the hospital. I am going to try to get a hold of the advocate for CPS and file a complaint since the case worker has been only really keeping in contact with my sister . My daughter is a little over a month old and I've lost so much time already with her thanks to CPS. I've not been given a chance to even be a mother to her . This is supposed to be my time to bond with her and I haven't been able to since she is 20 min from me and I rely on people since there is no bus line where she is at the moment. I wish you were in Montgomery county and I had the money to hire you as a lawyer I definitely would . Thanks again for your time it was greatly appreciated.

If I could give him negative stars I honestly would. I hired Paul for a child support case. After wasting $4000 over a period of 5 months I finally realized what was going on. He had no real interest in my case. Because I live out of the state he kept stringing me along for more money and no results. In the end I pay double in child support and have NO visitation rights. Anyone out there that wants to get taken to the cleaners this is your guy.

Avoid these attorneys at all costs. I was a customer for 10 years, my original attorney left and we decided to stay. The new attorney makes me extremely uncomfortable. We asked him to help with a simple lease assignment. He ended up bringing on an additional attorney, charged us almost $10,000 for a very common/simple review. We did not ask for 2 attorney's to review this. When communicating with the attorneys they go out of their way to drag out conversations, they act like they don't comprehend what you say and then draw out the conversations to make it look like they actually were getting work done.
Most recently, we were potentially acquiring another unit in our franchise. I specifically told them NOT to file paperwork or work on this. Today, we received a bill where they want to charge us for the work I specifically told them not to do. And to top it off, they are claiming that both attorney's put work in on this when they were told not to.
I would not trust this company, it seems like have lost their principles, lack transparency, and are deceitful in their practices.

I, and several other past officers of a private club, were recently sued for slander over statements we made in defense of our club manager. Mike Nakon and his team filed a motion to dismiss for lack of a claim. The case was dismissed with prejudice (meaning the plaintiff has no claim and cannot file again). Attorneys from our insurance companies, who largely sat on the sidelines. all praised the filing and legal research behind it as outstanding. I would not consider any other attorney to represent me in the future. Mike is amazing.
