Customer Reviews for John W. Mikus, Attorney at Law
-
Hired Law firm 2019The worst attorney I have ever worked with. I hired him for the probate process when a family member of mine passed away without a will. I asked to have a face to face, introductory meeting and he very rudely declined saying it was unnecessary and everything could be done through email. I priority mailed some documents to his office and then he keep demanding that I also send him scans of the documents a week later (you have a scanner in your office! Just do it yourself...). He was frequently unresponsive and I would have to be the one to check in weekly to see how things were going. It took him 5 WEEKS to create a simple rough draft of a legal document. Key word: Rough draft. It wasn't even the completed document that needed to be filed yet. In addition to not wanting to have a face to face meeting, he also frequently dodged trying to talk with me on the phone. He randomly called me out of the blue on a Friday afternoon while I was driving. I told him I was driving and couldn't talk, but he said it was the only time he had available so I stayed on the line. He spent an hour on the phone with me and in between legal advice, he would go off topic and talk about random things like how he was a Bernie Sanders supporter and liked socialism policies. ...What the heck? Overall, he was a terrible attorney who was inefficient, rude, unprofessional, and gave bad and incorrect legal advice during a time when I was trying to grieve over the loss of a family member. DO NOT work with him. Seriously.

How do I choose a lawyer?
Consider the following:
- Comfort Level – Are you comfortable telling the lawyer personal information? Does the lawyer seem interested in solving your problem?
- Credentials – How long has the lawyer been in practice? Has the lawyer worked on other cases similar to yours?
- Cost – How are the lawyer's fees structured — hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City – Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- How often do you settle cases out of court?
- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.
