Hired Attorney Kurt S. Kusiak

Attorney Kurt Kusiak was our representative in a probate case. We had been previously working with another Firm for 14 months with little to no progress being made. We changed Counsel to Kurt, and from the very first conversation it was clear that he knew exactly what was needed to be done to get the discoveries completed and presented to help us obtain the expressed result we deserved and needed. Kurt is extremely knowledgeable, a poised communicator, and always responsive to both our inquiries and the needs of the case. He is a great listener and showed us both patience and compassion in understanding the emotional suffering this case was imposing upon us. He was the voice of reason that was needed, and we had confidence that we were in great hands with him. Kurt was able to bring us to resolution in less than four-months time. We would absolutely recommend Attorney Kusiak’s services to anyone seeking a great litigator who is both hard working and truly cares about his clients.

Kurt diagnosed the key issues of my real estate partnership dispute quickly and helped navigate a successful outcome avoiding time consuming and costly litigation. I have experience working with attorneys across various fields of law and he stands out in his ability to provide practical and effective legal advice presented in a clear and concise manner. I also frankly enjoyed our conversations even through a tough situation. I highly recommend hiring Kurt as your advisor for any dispute and especially at the formation of any business partnership.

From our first meeting with Attorney Kurt Kusiak, we felt confident he could help us with a complicated estate issue that had reached an impasse. Kurt is compassionate and realistic in his guidance. Some of the most notable accolades we could use to describe him are knowledgeable, unflappable, responsive and personable. His communication is informative and timely whether in person, by phone or email. Attorney Kusiak and Fitch Law Partners brought our case to a resolution through careful negotiation more quickly than we could have hoped for, avoiding emotionally draining and financially costly litigation. We highly recommend Attorney Kusiak and the team at Fitch Law Partners.
