Michael is very helpful on this complex trade name issue, when other lawyers don't want to spend effort on it. The help Michael offered established trust between us.
Michael is a great lawyer with high professional standard and is pleasant to work with. He easily built rapport with me and my family when dealing with our family financial and property protections. He provided excellent service for our family.
When trying to start up my business and LLC, Michael Kuzma at Johnson, Flodman, Guenzel & Widger (J.F.G.W) law firm proved to be a valuable, efficient and knowledgeable resource. They made the process of navigating the different types of government regulation and procedures painless. On top of doing all of the logistical “leg work”, he also provided specific and detailed insight to different types of business tax planning. This kind of business planning advice proved to be crucial to my success, as, much of the information Michael provided me I would not have been able to find elsewhere and still gain the same depth of knowledge. Michael Kuzma guided me through the process and I am confident that it is because of their dedication and commitment to their clients that I am able to be in the honored position I am now of being able to share my positive and satisfied experience. I would highly recommend that anyone starting up a small business reach out to Michael Kuzma. He is in your corner from start to finish.
I had gotten involved in a business contract that had certain aspects to which I was unaware. I contacted Mike Kuzma and showed him the contract and explained the situation. Due to those illegal aspects, Mike was able to get me out of the contract and save me thousands of dollars! Lesson learned! Mike and his firm will be my go-to team to read all the fine print for me from now on!
Mike has been extremely helpful for our family's estate planning. He is professional and knowledgeable. We have come to him with many questions and he does his best to find an answer when he does not know the answer himself. Mike even helped us with legal questions we had about property in China. I highly recommend Mike for estate planning.
Mr. Kuzma was very helpful when starting my LLC. This was a very exciting event for me and I was unsure where to begin. Once I talked to Mike, I knew I and my new LLC were in good hands! Very friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Mike Kuzma, and the firm, to anyone needing an experienced attorney. Thanks, Mike and JFGW.
I have known Mike Kuzma for many years. As a friend, he is someone you can trust. As an attorney, he had helped me in many business matters. I know by heart that he will act on behalf of my interests. As a foreigner who invests in real estate related business in the U.S., I have to face many complex business and legal issues. And, Mike acted not only as a legal advisor, but also a trusted business partner who navigates me through all the complexities. I am very thankful to get to know Mike and to work with Mike. 多年前,我有幸认识了Mike Kuzma。私下,他是一个非常值得信任的朋友。工作上,他也给与了我很大的帮助。我相信,他总是最大程度上为我的利益着想。作为一个投资美国地产的外国人,我需要解决很多来自商业和法律上的问题。 而Mike作为律师不仅为我提供了法律上的顾问还为我提供了很多解决商务问题的建议。很高兴能与Mike 相识并合作。
I have worked with Mike Kuzma on a number of business transactions/issues and have never been disappointed. He is very friendly and knowledgeable and will get your issues solved in a professional and timely manner. I highly recommend his services.
Mike helped our company manage risk in a difficult situation with the toughest client we've ever had. He offered critical support and insight and helped strengthen our contracts to prevent similar situations in future engagements. I can't recommend his services highly enough.
I have used Mike a number of occasions, all of which I have been overly pleased with his expertise and professionalism. A man of character and integrity, Mike certainly has a passion for what he does. He has done a great job handling the wills and trusts, and I believe Mike is a rising star in his area of expertise. When you feel comfortable calling your attorney, you know you have found someone great.
