The day I contacted John I felt that life as I knew it had ended. John met with me 1 hour after my first call to him and we spoke for about an hour and half. Upon completion of this meeting I was no longer scared. I left his office in near tears knowing exactly what my options were and exactly what he could and could not do in handling this legal matter. Never once did John make any guarantees and never once did he make me feel as if I was just another FEE. He proposed what his strategy would be in each option and when we were close to completion of this meeting he told me up front what all costs would be in regards to fees and fines from the courts to what his fee would be. I walked out the door knowing what this would cost me now, in a few weeks and a few months. I left confident I would see no surprises in the financial parts of this process and he would go in and fight to either make this legal matter go away or soften it where I could move on with my life without obstacles. I made the decision later that day to hire John and it was a matter of days before he contacted me and said he was already in touch with the Prosecutor to move the court date out farther in the future. A few weeks later I met John again at the 1st court date. He said he looked over everything the Prosecutor have provided and was not impressed with what they had, he asked me what I thought about telling them they need to provide more to include having the arresting Police officer present for questioning because of contradicting statements in his report. The Prosecutor agreed but stated that it will not change or lower the charge against me. At that point John could have told me that's all he had for me and I likely would have agreed and paid all the fines and fees and walked away. John's advice was let's go to the next court date and challenge these people and so we did. That brings us to 1/18/19 where John spoke to Prosecutor again who now took some time to review the case and come to the conclusion the case was weak for the original charges and agreed to lower all charges to an acceptable level. The point of me writing this is we all have that opinion about an Attorneys and yes we know many of them just want a fee and could care less where you end up. John Leunig met with me, told me what he could and could not do, told me what it would cost and went and fought for me with his experience and education and advised me regularly what the status was and if I had a question he would promptly return my call and keep me at ease throughout the case. I would call John for anything and KNOW I m getting his all and no surprises. Thank You John you're an excellent Attorney and a Gentleman.

I'm not one who makes a career out of writing reviews. But I wanted others struggling with consumer law issues to find a terrific ally and specialist in winning for them. It was after quite a bit of research and some phone calls before it became perfectly clear that this law firm was the best for me. The proof of this was a wildly successful outcome that was better than the best case scenario I had imagined. Emails? Very promptly replied to. Quality of advice and strategy? Second to none. Level of experience? This is his specialty and not some additional thing he tacks on his list of services. You can rest assured that you are dealing with an expert who understands all the intricacies and angles. As a huge benefit, I found him to be kind and empathetic. Stop the worrying and uncertainty. Get in touch with him, and notice how much better you feel having a strong and skilled partner looking out for you.

He also failed to provide me with any bills while claiming he was working on my case, and failed to contact me for over a year. Once I notified him that I knew he let the statute of limitation pass, he advised me to consult with an attorney regarding the potential malpractice claim I have against him, and informed his malpractice carrier Minnesota Lawyers Mutual (MLM) MLM, refused to discuss settlement of the claim and refused to provide me a decision in writing on the claim. Attorney Gunther as an insured of MLM is also considered an "owner" as MLM is a co-op, and attorneys get kick backs in the form of dividends, when MLM denies a claim no matter how valid, or defends it or settles it for less than it is worth. Before you sign any retainer agreement with any attorney, be sure to search for them on the mars.courts.state.mn.us website first, and look to see what malpractice carrier they have, and review an example policy. Be sure to also look to see if it is a "claims based" or "occurrence based" MLM is also claims based. For claims based policies, if the attorney fails to notify MLM of the claim, and/or intentionally conceals it and does notify MLM, MLM does not have to pay out the claim. Be sure to look for occurrence based insurance instead.

Schwebel Goetz & Sieben (SGS) Be prepared: this process is about money, not justice or principle. Over two years ago, tragedy struck our family. Our 20-year-old son died, and our wrongful death claim involved the bar he visited that night. In our first meeting with our SGS attorney, we stressed that our priority wasn't money--it was justice. He said he understood, would file charges, and would be willing to go to court (bait and switch-read on). Their investigator gathered evidence supporting our claim. Then months of near silence passed. Eventually, our attorney said he would file charges (he never did). First red flag: he addressed me by my deceased son's name, twice. Over the following months, I personally uncovered two more critical pieces of evidence. That I had to do this myself was a major red flag--this was their job. With this new evidence, our attorney requested early mediation--without our approval and before filing charges. Reluctantly, we agreed. Before the mediation, he oddly showed doubt about our claim, then shook my hand and said, "You've done more than my investigators." Mediation failed. The mediator, hand-picked by SGS, was arrogant, dismissive. Our attorney repeated: Next step was to file charges. Again, it didn't happen. Later, the insurance company made another offer based on the mediator's suggestion. We rejected it--too low and we still wanted charges filed. But our attorney insisted we accept, otherwise find a different attorney. He gave no specifics as to why, just vague comments about the evidence, which I suspect he never fully reviewed. Integrity was simply absent, a total 180. We never requested early mediation. We were pushed into accepting a settlement we didn't believe in. Thrice, promised that charges would be filed--they never were. Meanwhile, the bar avoided court, responsibility, and bad publicity. For these reasons, they won, not us. The opposing side had better legal representation than we did. For us, this wasn't about money--it was about preventing this from happening to someone else. But without filing charges, there's no accountability. Maybe we were naïve, but we believed an attorney would fight for our principles. We were wrong. SGS focuses on volume over quality. Profit is #1. An SGS lawyer's success is measured by how efficiently they settle, not by how fiercely they fight for justice. Our attorney knew the opposing counsel, had worked with him before, and likely will again. He described him as a "reasonable guy, a real pro"--translation: a guy who'd settle quickly. There weren't just two sides--there were six: the bar, its insurance company, their attorney, the mediator, our attorney, and us. The closest bond in this party? The two attorneys. This was a business negotiation, not representation. When our lawyer said he'll "do everything he can," what he really meant was "everything he's willing to do"--Make a claim, then settle. We thought the circumstances justified more, but our claim was treated like any typical car accident. Through this process, I asked our attorney many questions, requested clarity, and posed potential scenarios. Early on, he responded vaguely. Later, arrogantly deflected and laughed-off concerns. Over 90% of claims never reach court. The system encourages mediation, and settlements can't set legal precedent. So, nothing changes, and that's the way they want it-profitable. The reality? SGS is only about profit, manipulating facts and people--not seeking justice. In our case, it meant manipulating a grieving family. (They manipulate google reviews too). SGS Attorneys say they'll "fight for you," but the key word is "for"--and it's by their definition. Once you hire an SGS lawyer, you give up control. Your goals become secondary to their financial incentives. Who holds them accountable? No one. Practicing law at SGS means knowing how to avoid it. SGS can't afford compassion, but spend millions on advertising. Justice wasn't served and our son deserved better. B.S. needs to retire.
