I was being represented in court by Donna Mayor she had done nothing for me in court. She was rude and not willing to listen to a word on my case. She didn't even look at my paperwork or evidence in my favor. It wasn't that I didn't want to pay I just didn't agree with all the fees and being charged 3x my rent amount. I had recieved rental assistance for which my landlord only applied 2 months. He applied the rest to unreasonable charges which was thousands of dollars. I even wanted to represent myself but she discouraged me with her actions and bullying. A man named Chris who works there was trying to find information in regards to my funds from the city and what they were for. she started throwing paper at him and belittling him. Now I have no one to help me. Donna just wanted me to settle so she can go on about her day doing nothing or just as okay with me being evicted. She seemed more representing of my landlord then me. When i explained the behavior to her supervisor it was said she was a good attorney. Talking about accountability. Please if your are desperate don't go to this agency they will make sure your family becomes homeless and humilate you while in the process too. I cannot believe the government funds this agency to ruin lives and collect money.

We’ve been contacting them for days, no one answers phone calls or emails and won’t call back either. Sent certified check for our payoff and they haven’t signed for it. Ridiculous way to run a company.

They hire a contracted company to do their low end filing work. The managment for this contracted company is horrible. They play favorites with certain employees. Relay confidential information to those certain employees that should be kept to management only. Those employees that are shown favortisim will during working hours disturb other employees while they are working by talking about video games and music for 30minutes with each other causing stress and loss of concentration to those other employees. The managment will have those employees move around equipment from desks that is only supposed to be handled by MDK's IT department. The management will also take things from people's desk that they don't like and throw it away causing stress to those employees. Management only cares about the work getting done correctly and could care less about anything that makes certain employees uncomfortable.
Alot of these 5 star reviews are from employees that work there.
My statement still stands.

I am deeply disappointed in the service provided by this firm. My settlement has not been finalized, despite numerous calls and attempts to expedite the process. The accident occurred in December 2023 when I was hit by a drunk driver. Now, in August 2024, I have yet to receive any form of payment, and my hospital bills remain unpaid.
I spoke with Dan, hoping he would resolve the issue, but he indicated that the timeline depends entirely on the insurance company, suggesting it could take an indefinite amount of time. I understand there are other clients, but I am extremely dissatisfied with the service, especially considering the firm initially approached me, offering to assist with my settlement.
This delay has caused significant inconvenience, and based on my experience, I would not recommend these attorneys for future settlement matters.
Another individual involved and affected by the crash has also been pursuing compensation, yet despite numerous attempts to resolve the matter, they persist in stalling the process. It's incredibly frustrating that, in addition to these delays, they are outright refusing to take responsibility for the hospital bills—expenses that they are obligated to cover.
This continuous evasion not only prolongs the situation but exacerbates the harm already caused, as essential medical costs remain unpaid.

My sister and nieces were in an accident in ‘23 and decided to give this team a chance only to be let down time and time again. The only time they would contact her is if she left a bad review. She stressed more trying to get answers from them than she did on the actual day of the accident. She immensely regrets allowing this team to fight for her.

Tim is a competent attorney, but required explanation of common commercial industry terms such as a PCA (Property Condition Analysis), spent much of his time investigating issues we were not concerned with and the buyers, and on a few occasions provided conflicting direction.

I don’t know why the other reviews are saying what they are. It sounds like the people who she did not favor in a case are upset about her decisions. There are multiple reasons as to why a parent may not be the primary custodian and she investigated these reasons thoroughly.

This woman had a bias against me from day 1 based on a lie that my ex told her. My ex is not stupid and clearly looked Rosemarie up on Facebook to realize what is important to her. She then formulated a lie so that Rosemarie would be against me from day 1. She never looked back. She continuously treated me like the bad guy throughout the year we were forced to work with her as our ad litem. I never stood a chance at maintaining the 50/50 time I had for 7 years prior. She ignored proof of emotional, mental, and physical abuse that my ex had subjected my daughter to all because of a personal bias against me. Rosemarie was out to get me just as much as my ex. If you are given a list of ad litems to choose from, AVOID THIS WOMAN AT ALL COSTS!

Siewert was hired to handle my case in 2013. From the very beginning he was unresponsive. I had several concerns but I tried very hard to work with him and have faith in his abilities. If you are currently in this situation with him, please learn from me. It almost cost me my freedom. In the end (2015), I fired Siewert due to his inability to execute and create a cohesive, well thought-out defense. I was absolutely terrified to see how he would perform in trial considering all of his poorly written motions he created and his inability to effectively negotiate with the prosecutor during Pre-trial Hearings. If you have a serious legal matter, this is NOT the attorney for you.

I have retained mike a total of 4 different occasions and everytime i would say he got me near to the best possible outcomes in each case. He conducts himself great in court ,highly respected inside the court rooms and known to get the desired results BUT.... I do have to say this , he will not return calls he will not tell you what he "thinks" will happen(so no reassurance of a good outcome) talk to his assistant more than you ever talk to him. So you never know what to expect or when to be prepared and/or to prepare your wife,family and friends.... But if you ask me he did right by me and he did right everytime i had court i just wanted to give a honest and detailed review for the next man/woman

These clowns, particularly Zach Klein city attorney, are actually trying to go after the whistle blower in the whole city hacking fiasco and trying to blaming him for their obvious negligence.
Its not his fault you got hacked and now all your sensitive info is on the internet for all to see.
Sounds like a case of petty revenge for embarrassing them by exposing the true extent of the data breach. Which they were obviously hoping to sweep under the rug or else the mayor wouldn't have came up with the whole lame data is corrupted or encrypted so its useless lie. 🤦♂️

This place is absolutely terrible. I had a payment plan set up and they were taking money out of my account whenever they wanted. Some within 12 days apart. I called to get resolved and was told to show them proof. But they gave me the wrong email to show them. I called but had to block my number so they would answer to just get hung up on. I asked to speak to someone in higher-ups and was told he won't call me back because he is to busy. This place is a joke. They said if I canceled my agreement which I never got a contract or receipts from, they would garnish my wages.

Back on 2022, my car was vandalized. As a victim, I've never hear back from anyone, even though I called , left messages, and sent emails. The prosecutor went to a different area, and from the contacts provided that were handling the case, a request for status and restraining order was never acknowledge. As victim on case 22-ju-06267 and 22-ju-06254, I can attest that the Constitutional rights for Victims of Crime, was never followed.

What a Litigation Lawyer Can Do for You
A litigation lawyer specializes in representing individuals, businesses, or organizations involved in legal disputes. Whether you're the one filing a lawsuit or you're being sued, a litigation attorney will advocate on your behalf throughout the entire legal process. Their goal is to resolve disputes, either through negotiation, settlement, or trial. Litigation lawyers can help with a wide range of disputes, including contract disagreements, real estate issues, employment disputes, personal injury claims, and more.
Litigation lawyers provide strategic legal advice and manage all aspects of your case, from filing motions to representing you in court, ensuring that your rights are protected and that you have the best chance of achieving a favorable outcome.
When Should I Hire a Litigation Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a litigation lawyer if you're involved in a legal dispute that you cannot resolve on your own. Common situations include:
- Breach of contract disputes: If a party to a contract fails to fulfill their obligations, a litigation lawyer can help you seek damages or enforce the agreement.
- Business disputes: Litigation lawyers can represent you in cases of partnership disagreements, intellectual property disputes, or business fraud.
- Employment disputes: If you're facing issues like wrongful termination, workplace discrimination, or wage disputes, a litigation lawyer can help resolve these matters through negotiation or court action.
- Personal injury claims: If you've been injured due to someone else's negligence and are seeking compensation, a litigation attorney can help you pursue your case.
- Real estate or property disputes: When there are conflicts over property ownership, boundary issues, or lease agreements, a litigation lawyer can assist in resolving the dispute.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process is beneficial, especially if a lawsuit seems imminent or you have already been served with legal documents.
What Does a Litigation Lawyer Do?
A litigation lawyer handles all aspects of your case, from the initial investigation to the trial and even the appeals process, if necessary. Their role includes:
- Case assessment and investigation: Analyzing the facts of your case and advising whether it’s worth pursuing or defending.
- Pleadings and motions: Drafting and filing documents to initiate or respond to a lawsuit, including complaints, motions to dismiss, and answers.
- Discovery: Gathering evidence, including depositions, interrogatories, and document requests, to build your case.
- Negotiations and settlement discussions: Attempting to resolve disputes through mediation, arbitration, or settlement talks before going to trial.
- Trial representation: Presenting your case in court, examining witnesses, introducing evidence, and making legal arguments before a judge or jury.
- Appeals: If necessary, filing appeals to challenge or defend the outcome of the trial.
Litigation lawyers are also skilled negotiators and often work to resolve disputes outside of court to save time, money, and stress for their clients.
How Are Litigation Lawyers Paid?
Litigation lawyers typically use a variety of fee structures depending on the type of case, the complexity of the legal matter, and the financial circumstances of the client. Common payment arrangements include:
- Hourly rates: Many litigation attorneys charge by the hour, with rates varying based on experience and geographic location.
- Flat fees: For specific, predictable legal tasks (such as filing a motion), lawyers may offer a flat fee.
- Contingency fees: In personal injury or other cases where you seek damages, a lawyer may work on a contingency basis, taking a percentage of the settlement or award if you win.
- Retainer: Some clients pay a retainer fee upfront to secure ongoing legal services. The lawyer then bills against this retainer as work is done.
The exact structure should be discussed in the initial consultation to ensure you understand how and when you'll be charged.
How Much Does a Litigation Lawyer Cost?
The cost of a litigation lawyer varies significantly depending on the nature of the dispute and the lawyer’s experience. Factors affecting the cost include:
- The complexity of the case: More complex litigation involving extensive discovery, expert witnesses, or multi-party suits typically costs more.
- Time spent: Litigation cases can be time-consuming, especially if they go to trial. The longer the case, the higher the legal fees.
- Type of fee arrangement: Hourly rates can range from $200 to over $1,000 per hour, depending on the lawyer’s reputation and location. Contingency fees generally range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award.
- Stage of litigation: Cases that settle early in the process are often less expensive than those that proceed to trial or appeal.
It’s crucial to ask about cost estimates during your initial consultation to avoid surprises.
