Hired Attorney

Very Professional, listened to what we had to say, offered suggestions when needed. He communicated in layman's terms and did not use legal jargon without definition. He always returned our calls on time. He or his staff let us know up front what the cost of services would be if possible. One problem encountered was updates/changes in documents were not always carried through 100%. Some changes may have been completed and others not. Quality was not as good as expected. Great value for the money

Michael Unke is unethical and predatory. He works basically in collections for assisted living and harasses the grieving family a few weeks after their loved one passes to collect the fees of the assisted living plus 10 percent interest. He doesn’t have any problem lying in zoom hearings and will drag out his collection process for months trying to eke out all money from the survivors. He is skilled at figuring out how to bill his own client. The assisted living facility for maximum attorneys fees. I can only hope karma catches up to this 70 plus year old dino
