Heather is the most outstanding Lawyer anyone could ask for. She is a terrific listener and has an absolutely great knowledge of the law. In my case, I hired her to represent me with the negotiation process for my buy-out. Her communication skills with both myself and the Disability company was wonderful and we were successful with my objective. I would STRONGLY recommend her!!!

Attorney Heather Karrh represented me in a disability insurance case. I was so impressed that she and her staff took into account the degree of stress that I was under, my illness and my lack of knowledge regarding disability insurance and still made me feel comfortable and reassured that I was in good hands. Throughout the process, I was impressed. No matter the outcome, I would have given her a 5-star review. Fortunately, we received the outcome we had hoped for. Heather saw it through and I couldn't have been more grateful. We are almost a year down the road from the decision and she still ensures I understand and am comfortable with the process. I highly recommend her for her competence, her knowledge and her empathetic way of reaching her clients. 5 STARS!

Heather was/is a blessing to me (and my family). She was great about communicating with me at every step, without making the situation seem overwhelming.
She is easy to talk to, listens, and seems genuinely concerned about helping her clients. I couldn’t imagine having gone through this ordeal with out her.
I wouldn’t hesitate to call on her again to seek advice, guidance, and directives. She helped make a bad situation better.

Founders Legal has changed the game of small business startup assistance, and has been the greatest asset for my company, and my sanity, during my business entity's beginnings. It is nearly impossible, without double business doctorates, to properly start a company today by yourself and be able to accurately check all the boxes required by the government. From business formation to trademarking, website policies to NDAs, the folks at Founders Legal have the experts to handle your worries. I could not, and would not, attempt to become an entrepreneur again without Founders Legal on my side. Protect yourself and your company! Major Kudos to Zach and Kennington.

As a long time client of Founders Legal, I feel at home knowing that this office actually cares about me and my business. The best word to describe this team is, 'trust'. I consider Founders Legal an anomaly in the legal space, where trust is hard to find. The generosity and personal one-on-one care that this team has delivered to me has made my IP challenges, a lot less challenging. Zach has pushed through many difficult projects for my business, too many to list and too much history to get into in one google review. Yuri is always available and generous with his time and his team. There are many more names on the list, but to keep things short, I foresee a lot more IP acquisition for my business using the Founders Legal team.

I would personally like to thank Overman & Overman Law Firm for everything they did for me. This Law firm save my license and career. I’m a cdl driver, and I had some serious charges that could have ruin my whole career; not only did Mr.Overman get the charges dropped; he got my whole entire case dismissed. One thing I liked about this law firm is their dedication and communication towards your case. Johnthan Overman walks and guide you through the whole process, his team assures you that everything going to be okay. Another thing I liked is that they will financially work with you. You might not be able to afford the cost at the moment due to certain circumstances, but they will work with you and still provide you with the best service. I highly recommend this law firm. I’m so grateful to still have my CDL license.

Completely unprofessional. Talks down to people and seems like he works more for the prosecutor than the client. I paid $5500 for nothing. To have someone treat me like an idiot and work for the prosecutor. I felt pressured to take a plea that I was not happy with.

John Mrosek came highly referred to me by a really great home inspector and all around good man as I was in the process of buying a condominium in downtown Atlanta. I had told my inspector some of the serious problems I’d been having with my “real estate agent”, a woman who was lazy, ALWAYS HOURS late for home tours AND who told me that I didn’t need to ask for an inspection or any due diligence simply because I was interested in purchasing a condo as opposed to a single family home. As a first time homebuyer, I believed her, plus it was my lender, First Community Mortgage who referred her. And so I signed a purchase agreement that asked for no due diligence and because she gave no guidance about request seller concessions, the agreement I signed asked for NOTHING from the sellers.
As you can imagine, this was NOT at all in my best interest. And so after I spent weeks haggling with the AWFUL woman who was supposed to be my realtor, I was finally able to get her to ask the sellers to allow me to inspect the place. But she agreed to have an inspection done that would still leave the sellers free of any responsibility to fix or adjust their asking price based on the inspection findings.
I shared all of this with my home inspector who was as kind and concerned as a grandfather. He immediately told me about real estate attorney John Mrosek. I reached out to the attorney and after a more than 1 hour phone consultation wherein I detailed ALL of what I was going through, he offered his services. He told me that his hourly rate is $300 and that he requires a 5 hour retainer fee of $1500 upfront in order to start defending me.
I paid his retainer fee and he asked me to send every email exchange I had with her and her brokerage firm. There were plenty of emails. At a short point after I began forwarding the emails, he text me saying that I don’t want to use up all 5 hours on him going through emails!!! So, I stopped.
As things worsened between me and my fake realtor, I kept updating John and asking for his LEGAL EXPERIENCE AND HELP! He suggested I use what he calls the “walk away method” wherein I’d email the sellers agent that I’m no longer interested in the property. I copied my fake realtor and John on this email. John replied to me saying in effect, “very good, you’ve got them right where you want them to be...”
All of this was happening during the holidays of 2021. The sellers replied by saying that they would sue me for not honoring the terms of the binding legal purchase contract I had signed and that they would keep my earnest money. I emailed John with this info but he did not respond. I would not hear from John for the next 2 weeks, assumably because he was on holiday; but he never gave me a heads up that he would not be available.
By the time I heard from John in the 2nd week of 2022, I had lost my earnest money and both the sellers agent and my fake real estate agent were threatening to sue me for commissions they would’ve receive had I closed on the date that had been set. John’s response to me was that my case “is not easy” and that I “sent too many emotional emails that were rambling...” I was furious!
I asked John only 1 request, I asked if he would call a meeting between us, my fake realtor and the sellers agent so we might be able to come to an agreement. John responded saying that it might open a can of worms if he and I were to show up together; that it would cause the sellers to bring their lawyer. I was like, so? What’s wrong with that?
This was my ONLY request and it was denied by John Mrosek. After this, about 2 solid weeks went by and I heard NOTHING FROM JOHN. I then emailed him saying that he was either dead, out of town or had given up on my case. No response. Another 2 weeks passed and so I sent him an email detailing all the money I had lost in my efforts to purchase the property and I added in his $1500 retainer fee as another chunk of wasted money. He refunded ONLY $420! Saddening.

John helped me tremendously in buying out a partner and establishing my company. He has been there for me throughout the development of my business and is the only one I contacted when I was approached to sell. He is a great resource for thinking through issues in business.

Being in business for well over 25 years resulted in multiple needs for the services of a competent attorney. Lawyers who promise results but work little beyond filing form letters is my typical view of the disappointing results my company has experienced with the law profession prior to hiring John Mrosek. I commend and highly recommend John who proved to be the ONLY attorney that delivered highly productive results saving my company from nefarious or illegitimate lawsuits in several instances.
John will not tell me what I want to hear but what I need to hear and do to gain resolution while shortcutting the often wasteful costs of moving a case forward through the system. From several (supposedly uncollectable) six-digit collection cases which were resolved in my company's favor to defending against frivolous lawsuits, helping us navigate the many legal hurdles to insure our business foundations and practices are solid and defensible to providing me with a comfort and security that we are a well run and honorable company.
John Mrosek IS Great Bang For The Buck and very affordable. I am thankful for his service. John if you read this Thank You for helping me save my company and protecting our work force family....

How to Check the Credibility of a Business Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable business lawyer:

- Look for client reviews or testimonials: Online reviews, testimonials, or word of mouth from other business owners can provide insight into the lawyer's reliability and effectiveness.
- Ask for references: A credible lawyer should have satisfied clients who can vouch for their services.
- Check professional memberships: Membership in respected legal organizations (such as the American Bar Association or a local business lawyer association) can signal credibility.
- Review their website and professional profile: A well-established lawyer typically has a professional website showcasing their areas of expertise, credentials, and case success.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To make the most out of your first consultation with a business lawyer, prepare the following:
