  Unfortunately, I feel I am obligated to write this review to hopefully prevent others from going through what we have with MKE. We have spent near half a million dollars with this firm to have only 1 meaningless court victory in 5+ years. My personal belief is MKE is more worried about what the judges, court and opposing lawyers think of them than what their client's outcomes are. Frankly, I have typically not left hearings with MKE at my side in which I felt I had a chance to win. Only once have I been comfortable with how MKE lawyers argued in court (out of dozens of hearings). I kept my mouth shut about my perceived incompetence of MKE lawyers over time in hopes that the facts would win out in our favor as we had nowhere else to go and were locked in with MKE. When I presented mild criticism to Greg Erickson (E from MKE) along with my opinion from observing that he and his lawyer both did a terrible job in federal court that day, he literally stated, "You are a child Jay. Elizabeth did an outstanding job" (You got that right, Erickson's response was to denigrate me instead of listen to what I said). Yet Elizabeth got hammered and lost so bad for my wife that MKE has refused to respond to any communications from me or my wife at this point. This includes our longtime attorney, and somebody I thought was a friend, Erick Kaardal (don't let Erick fool you with his stories and charm, he certainly appears to me to not be the good catholic he professes to be). No lawyer at MKE bothered to contact us to determine next steps after the loss, merely decided to shut us out (which certainly appears to be an ethical violation on their part). Further, we had a set fee of $255k for the entire litigation, and when MKE lost because of their own incompetence (not understanding they had to include arguments of why the claim was in federal court), MKE puts their hand put for more money even though they are the ones who screwed up. In fact, we even set up a basically unlosable lawsuit against the city, that MKE somehow seemed to piss down the toilet (because they refused to put forth the obvious facts that would most likely have swayed the judges). Finally, I have won more cases for myself pro se than MKE ever did for us, not even close. In my opinion, If you are looking for a high priced lawyer that does not put forth the arguments you want them to in court, waits until the last minute to get the paperwork done, gets scolded by the judge right in front of you for being excessively wordy, gets half the arguments right and half wrong in court, fails to defend your character when personally attacked over zoning issues, and, calls you names when you put forth some mild criticism of their efforts ... then MKE is your team!! I would suggest otherwise and find a lawyer that cares about their clients, not their reputation.
