Reviews for Michael
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.I was unfairly discharged from my long time employer and needed a strong advocate on my behalf. Mike took my case when others would not and worked assertively to negotiate on my behalf. He was always thoughtful, informative and supportive so that I understood the issues throughout the process. Because of his strong advocacy I received an equitable settlement so that I could move forward with other opportunities in my field. I highly recommend Mike if you need someone in your corner.
When I contacted Mr. Minenko for his service, I was in dire need of a Lawyer. We fixed a day for meeting and to my surprise, he has already researched and learn about my opponents. He had detailed info and understanding. He was humane and emphatic. It all ended well with the way he handled my case.
Mr. Minenko has been an invaluable legal asset for our company for over 4 years. During this time he has helped us with employment contracts, non-disclosure/non-compete agreements, dispute resolution, negotiations, and has helped us prevent litigation. Mike is extremely thorough and his work is ALWAYS completed prior to our deadlines. We have recommended him to several business associates and they have all been extremely appreciative of his services.
Mr. Minenko helped me through a very trying and complex legal situation. He was always available when needed and was well prepared. He has a solid grasp on the law and his ability to quickly understand my complex legal situation was amazing. I would recommend his services.
We obtained the outcome that was expected. Mike was very honest with his opinion of my case and set expectations accordingly.
I own a Minnesota company engaged in retail sales with over 60 employees. A number of years ago, we hired Mike on an employment contract matter. We found him to be a forceful but steady advocate for my company. Since then, we have used him on a number of employment related legal issues. He is the first call that we make when we seek advice that requiring an interpretation of State and/or Federal employment laws. Mike is an expert in matters relating to employment law and a valued resource.
Mike has been a valuable resource to my business for over a decade. He has advised us on employment law (for my business and clients of my business) and also in drafting employment, severance and non-compete agreements. Mike has been extremely helpful in referring us to lawyers who practice in areas of specialty that are not his but that we have needed over the years (e.g. trust and estates). Mike is professional, helpful, knowledgeable and a true partner to me. Highly recommend!
Mike is extremely knowledgeable with unemployment law, employment contracts, and commission recovery for sales after termination. I have used Mike on multiple occasions and highly recommend my friends, family and colleagues to Mike when they have any questions about his expertise, especially related to employment laws. Mike is a pleasure to work with, he's fast and effective at his job. All 10's from me!
Mike was a real pro, made me feel like he was part of my family.
I made a great choice with Mike!
