Hired Attorney Alexander Kalim

Had a business partner with whom we had to negotiate a split/settlement. Nasty business, but Alex and his team more then anything gave me the guidance and mindfulness I so desperately needed in one of the worst situations of my life. He negotiated a fair settlement for a fair fee, and treated me like a human being not a pay check. I couldn’t have asked for more. 5 out of 5 stars would recommend, and will be using Alex and his team again in the future for any of my future endeavors that may require their specific expertise.

Working with Alex was one of the best decisions we made. We interviewed many and decided on Alex because of his ability to sort through the multiple layers of our case and not only clearly see every base we needed to cover but also he was able to quickly identify and include case law/precedence that in the end ensured a winning outcome. Some attorneys build a case on emotion and fluff but Alex builds his on solid evidence and precedence. Alex also made this process so very easy for us by coordinating meeting times to fit our busy work schedule. He was also always available via text and email and I never felt alone or abandoned in the process. He built trust in us and valued the input we gave which solved this case. Through the entire process we never regretted our decision to hire Alex and he would be my first text or call if the situation ever arose again.

Hired Attorney Jan Ingham Berlage

My first discussion with Mr. Berlage was very convincing. It took him no time whatsoever to grasp the entire scope of my case, identify the legal nuances that I needed to be aware of, evaluate the best possible strategies, estimate the likely percentage of risk associated with each, and propose a recommended course of action that would result in the most beneficial outcome for me. All the while he was very mindful of the importance of minimizing the time, anxiety, and cost associated with litigation for me. Mr. Berlage projects a seasoned professional image, both formidable and personal, reassuring and confident. He displayed a very strong concern for my welfare as his client, and a strong loyalty as well. His recommended strategy resulted in an out-of-court settlement that maximized my award and minimized time and costs. His legal style is impressive, his approach is extremely professional, and his ethics are irreproachable. He truly earns a client’s full trust and confidence.

He was extremely helpful, extremely responsive, extremely knowledgeable. Not only did he answer my questions but he took time to explain everything to ensure I understood what he was saying. He never made me feel like a bother or that I was annoying him. I reached out to previous lawyers before and even in their initial consultation I didn’t get a good feeling about them. From the very beginning he made me feel welcomed and someone I could trust to help me. I would definitely recommend him to a family member if they ever needed assistance.

Had a great experience working with Jan and his team. Jan was very professional and took the time to answer all of my questions. He is easy to communicate with and provided excellent advice. Jan seemed to not only have a deep knowledge about the processes but also an excellent network that could provide advice for any unusual circumstances.

After working with 3 separate attorneys, I had the pleasure of working with Jan on a difficult post-judgement negotiation and settlement. I had asked Jan to prepare a legal analysis pertinent to my case and his analysis was both thorough and well-cited. With that information and his representation, I was able to dig myself out of a black-hole of a judgement and return to normal life as a professional without encumbrances. I highly recommend Jan Berlage, his services and his supporting staff and firm.

Non compete not fair and Jan knows it! Jan and his team fight for your right as an employee, because basically employers can do whatever they want and the employees suffer. Jan fought my non compete with knowledgeable facts and looked down every avenue to help my case, even referring me to another lawyer to see if it would help. He goes the extra mile and gets results! I am going back to work sooner than my non compete stated. Call now!!!

Going through bankruptcy is complicated, humbling, and stressful. Throw in a pandemic and the process lingers causing more stress and angst. There is no way around these feelings, it’s bankruptcy. It should be hard and avoided if possible. If you find yourself, as I did, with no other option then there is a way to reduce the stress, pain, and uncertainty of bankruptcy. Hire Jan Berlage and his bankruptcy team at Gohn Hankey & Berlage LLP. From the beginning, Jan took a personal interest in my case. I was not handed off to an assistant. Yes, he has an assistant help, but Jan made himself personally available to me. When the pandemic shut everything down mid-bankruptcy, Jan and his team picked right back up and moved my case forward as fast as possible. Now that the process is coming to a close I feel relieved and reborn. I can move on free of my debt burden. If you find yourself in the undesirable position needing to file bankruptcy, I highly recommend you hire Jan Berlage.

Honestly, one of the best lawyers i've worked with. His willingness to listen, and adapt/adjust were a breath of fresh air. His team was attentive, thorough and extremely helpful (especially Tracey). Give them a call if you're a situation where your finances are out of control and need help.
