Pros
1
Highly productive and effective in resolving complex legal issues and protecting the client's business
“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.”
2
Provides honest and direct advice, not just telling the client what they want to hear
“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.”
3
Extensive experience and expertise in a wide range of legal matters, from collections to defending against frivolous lawsuits
“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.”
Cons
1
Slow to respond and communicate with the client during critical situations
“I would not hear from John for the nex”
2
Unwilling to take certain actions requested by the client, such as arranging a meeting with the opposing parties
“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.”

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....

John did an excellent job thoroughly researching the law in my case and becoming an expert regarding the environmental issues. He is a stickler for detail and prepares extensively for hearings, depositions and court related matters. He is fearless in his representation of his clients. I'd highly recommend him.

Mr. Mrosek protected my interests with unbelievable dedication . I felt at the beginning and even more so at the end of him and I negotiating a business contract that he was a much more than competent and capable than I could have ever expected. He helped me immeasurably and I would like him to represent me in all legal transactions in the future. He's a fighter that behaved with complete dignity and determination and knowledge and skill.

Mr. Hofrichter was my attorney handling my SSD case over two plus years ago. He was outstanding . He or whom ever was my contact person they kept me well in formed. When it came down to the actual case going before a judge etc. He had everything in tact. He had done all necessary research with my case. over all he does an outstanding job in handling your case. He leaves no tables unturned, And I would recommend him to anyone who needs or have the same type of case that I had. I promise that they will not be disappointed.He is all the needs all wrapped up in one that a client should or would be expecting. He is number one in my book. And of course we won the case.

Can a Lawyer Represent Me in Courts Outside of Fayetteville, Georgia?
Whether a lawyer can represent you in courts outside of your city or state depends on their licensure and the jurisdiction of the court:
-
Within the Same State:
Lawyers licensed in a particular state can typically practice anywhere within that state, including all cities and counties. They can represent you in both state and federal courts located in that state. -
Outside of Their Licensed State:
If your case is in a different state, the lawyer must be licensed in that state to represent you. However, there are exceptions:- Pro Hac Vice Admission: An out-of-state lawyer can request special permission to represent a client in a specific case in another state. This requires filing a motion with the court and often working in conjunction with a local attorney.
- Federal Courts: If your case is in federal court, a lawyer licensed in any state may be able to represent you, provided they are admitted to practice in that particular federal court.
-
International Representation:
For cases outside the United States, different rules apply, and the lawyer may need to comply with the foreign country's legal requirements or collaborate with local counsel.
It's important to discuss your specific situation with the lawyer to determine if they can represent you in the desired jurisdiction and what steps may be necessary to do so.
How to Check the Credibility of a Lawyer
Before hiring a lawyer, it's crucial to verify their credibility and ensure they're qualified to handle your case:
-
Verify Their License:
Check with your state's bar association to confirm the lawyer is licensed and in good standing. Most state bar websites have an online directory for this purpose. -

Ensure the lawyer specializes in the area of law relevant to your case. Review their website, professional profiles, and case history. -
Disciplinary Record:
Look up any history of disciplinary actions or complaints through the state bar association's records. -
Client Reviews and Testimonials:
Read reviews on legal directories like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, Google, or Yelp to gauge client satisfaction and experiences. -
Professional Memberships:
Membership in professional organizations or specialty bar associations can indicate a commitment to their field and adherence to high ethical standards. -
Awards and Recognitions:
Honors from reputable organizations reflect expertise and a positive reputation in the legal community. -
Consultation Assessment:
Use the initial consultation to evaluate their communication skills, responsiveness, and willingness to address your concerns. -
