David is an artful and incredible negotiator. My situation involved a difficult business breakup between two partners. David was able to negotiate and recommend practical solutions to my situation. While I hope I do not need his services again, I would never hesitate calling upon his skills in the future. Simply a great lawyer.

My wife and I have both worked with Susan in the various Environmental fields for close to 23 years. Both my wife and I have known Susan to be a very knowledgeable, research oriented and forceful in the specific field of Environmental Laws where you deal with Local, State and Federal bureaucracies.
Ms. Johnson is well respected by Regulators and Clients alike. When she works on a case she is devoted and dedicated to bringing the facts and resolving your issues.
She is a "one of a kind" attorney who understands Operations involvement in complex fields such as Chemical, Scrap Metal, Hazardous Waste Treatment and Transportation (and more) in complex fields such as RCRA, TSCA, Clean Air and Water Acts, etc.. She is highly recommended.

Five-Star Review for an Outstanding Divorce Lawyer
I cannot recommend Samantha highly enough! From the very first consultation, Samantha and her team were professional, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. Going through a divorce is never easy, but Samantha made the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
She fought tirelessly for my best interests, ensuring that every detail was handled with precision and care. Her strategic approach, sharp negotiation skills, and deep understanding of the law resulted in an outcome that exceeded my expectations. I always felt heard, supported, and confident, knowing I had the best advocate on my side.
If you’re looking for a divorce attorney who will go above and beyond to secure the best possible result, look no further than the Genesis Legal team and Samantha. Their dedication, expertise, and unwavering commitment to their clients make them
truly exceptional. I am forever grateful!

Givi is the best! He was affordable, and the value and experience that he provides is invaluable. He made the very daunting immigration process for my wife, seem very simple as he clearly laid out each and every step of the process, with extreme accuracy.
He knew almost exactly what was going to happen next at any given moment in the process due to his vast experience and knowledge. The comfort and peace of mind that it gave my wife and I to have everything laid out in such a simple step by step way, is priceless. Throughout the process, Givi responded extremely promptly to any questions or concerns that we had, sometimes even responding to emails at 1-2 am! It truly felt as if we had a teammate in this process, and I could not be more thankful that we chose Givi as our immigration lawyer. Thank you for everything!

Paul is a wonderful attorney and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking to have their license reinstated. My husbands license was revovked for nearly a decade he was very intimidated by the process to have it reinstated. My husband said Paul was very personable, easy to talk with and put him at ease. He made what seemed to be such a daunting process to us much more bearable. It only took a few months from the start of us hiring Paul, to my husband having his hearing. He was granted reinstatement to a restricted license during the hearing and we couldn't have been happier or more relieved. Thank you Paul for being so attentive to your clients and going above and beyond to ensure the best results!

I sent one of our clients to him randomly and he was honest with the guy. He recommended an option for him that he could use to take care of the small issue himself and not have to pay anyone. These days, this is huge to me when it seems like everyone is out for themselves. I would recommend David's services and will be sending him more of our clients in the future.

While walking my dog in my neighborhood one Sunday morning, a dog launched himself through a screened window that had a hole in it.
The german shepherd grabbed my arm and mauled me severely while dragging me into the driveway next to the house. After emergency surgery to repair the damage from a compound fracture (including plates and screws) and a stay in the hospital, I began the search for an attorney to guide me through the legal process of addressing the incident.
Because of a previous auto accident when I was represented by Barry Lakritz, and because of the level of trust I had in him and his team, I reached out to his office to see if this would be something they could help me with. Once they saw the pictures of my arm prior to surgery, they immediately agreed to handle my grievance against the homeowner.
I understood how the process worked and that it might take some amount of time to gather evidence and process it through whatever necessary systems (i.e., insurance claim, court, etc). But, Lakritz Law took the time to keep in touch with me and explain exactly what was happening. They even came to the courthouse to view my personal petition regarding the disposition of the animal that attacked me (something they do not legally handle).
Lakritz Law worked quickly and professionally to address all my concerns. Their entire staff was extremely knowledgeable and responsive – with special gratitude to Erika for all her time and attention to the details. They have many years of experience working on cases such as this, and have my highest respect. They are the only team I would consider to represent me again, if needed. Thank you, Lakritz Law.

My wife and I unfortunately had an automobile accident in 2021, and Matt Brown and his team were referred to us by a family friend. They treated us well, took us seriously, and were extremely professional, and timely with how they handled our case with us. It was a three year process, and they stayed patient and kept with us the whole time. When it came to other parties or needing someone else to do something for us, they were aggressive in getting it done and made sure it was done properly for us. They took great care of us and our family, and I would highly recommend them to anyone needing a lawyer to represent them.

TLDR: Great Lakes employs attorneys that are not only terrible at their job, but who will overbill you and treat you terribly.
You are doing yourself a tremendous disservice taking your business to Great Lakes. Kim Browning in particular is the single worst attorney I have ever had to deal with. She is both not very good at the legal aspect of her job, nor the customer service aspect.
She ended up billing me 3x higher than her initial estimate despite the fact that the case proceeded exactly as anticipated without any sort of hiccups.
What's more, despite the case progressing exactly as anticipated, she never gave me a clear understanding about what the next steps would be.
Worst, she WILL NOT RESPOND TO YOU. Despite paying her over $10k, she could not bother to respond to simple "yes" "no" emails without me having to send them to her 3+ times.
Please take your business elsewhere. With Great Lakes and Kim, all you'll get is a massive bill and disappointment.

Kimberly Browning and Stephanie Taylor helped me through the hardest thing I had to go through in life. I lost my dad and didn't know what to do next. Kimberly over heard me talking to people at court trying to figure out what to do next and offered to help. They have been amazing the whole year they helped me with my dad's estate. They always answered my questions. And I was always able to get ahold of them which was very important to me. I highly suggest great lakes family & estates!!

My son sustained a TBI in an auto accident in 2011, he was 18. It was clear that the auto insurance agency was more interested in their bottom line than his needs. During our first encounter, Arthur Liss and Nick Andrews listened and reassured us that they could navigate this unknown territory for us. I was very impressed with their knowledge and expertise in this area of the law. Whenever there are questions or concerns, I am always able to speak with someone there and I receive answers promptly. The staff there is amazing. Everyone is very personable, knowledgeable and willing to assist us in any way possible. Words cannot express our gratitude for what they have done and continue to do for us. My son's needs continue to be met thanks to this firm. Our journey is ongoing, and Liss & Andrews will always be a part of that journey.

Marshall Tauber provided professional and astute legal services to me during a challenging and difficult time in my life.

I contacted Marshall on a Monday for advice on what to expect with an OWI I received that previous weekend. I was of course frantic and beyond stressed. He first asked me for some detail and helped me understand how it all worked. He really took the time to help me calm down and understand everything during the consultation. It was after that first call that I decided to hire him to represent me. He was by my side through the entire process. I had never been in trouble before and I was so worried as to what was going to happen. Marshall really made me feel comfortable in a situation that is anything but. He always returned my calls quickly with answers to my questions and never left me sitting in the unknown. Not to mention the case he built for me was incredible. I will be turning to Marshall for any legal questions and referring him to anyone I know seeking a lawyer.

What a Business Lawyer Can Do for You
A business lawyer provides critical legal guidance and support to entrepreneurs, startups, and established businesses.
