The best attorney in town -- hands down ! !

Mark represented me in several complex personal litigation cases over a period of 12 years. He is definitely one of the hardest working and knowledgeable attorneys I have ever known. He is extremely bright, always prepared, and the most dedicated attorney there is. His skills at negotiating during... mediation or settlement are unsurpassed. His dedication to your case is equal to the dedication he would exact of himself if he were representing his best friend. If he is representing you, and not the other party -- you are lucky, or you chose well. --- Mark, Thank You for all that you did for us !

Professional, knowledgeable, prepared

Mark has represented my husband and I for several years. Our cases were not typical, and required vast amounts of research and discovery. Mark was always prepared, never intimidated and represented us well. We got great results. I am forever grateful that he handled our case(s).

Was Fortunate To Find Mark Mingo

I sustained an disabling injury while staying at a Wisconsin hotel. I wasn't considering a legal remedy. Instead, I was trying to represent myself with the insurance company. Mistake! It became clear that I was in over my head, because all I was getting from the insurance adjusters was delay, diversi...on of blame onto others and frustration. In searching for a personal injury attorney on the Internet, I found Mark Mingo whose firm is in Milwaukee. I got very lucky! I highly recommend Mark to you. He is very professional with years of experience in both negotiation and litigation. Mark has worked both sides of personal injury law. He has defended insurance companies and sued them. He knows the legal landscape and has a working knowledge of many opposing lawyers and trial judges in Wisconsin. I was able to understand the legal process because Mark explained it well as i went through it. You can find his firm on the Internet listed as Mingo & Yankala S.C. If your case has merit and Mark is your attorney, I believe that you too will give Mark your strong endorsement.

Smart choice for a personal injury case

Working with Attorney Mingo it is immediately obvious that he is extremely competent and knowledgable in his profession. Not once did he give me reason to question his expertise or his ability to successfully represent me in my personal injury case. He is quick to reply to questions, is very straight...forward in his answers, and will guide you through each part of the process, advising you along the way. Unlike TV commercial lawyers, he won't promise you the moon or give you unreasonable expectations that no one can deliver. At the same time, he won't rush to settle, and is determined to work towards acheiving the best possible result. Legal matters are often a lengthy and complicated affair, and it is because of this that you need a smart, qualified, and determined attorney representing you. This why I fully recommend Attorney Mark Mingo.

Injury Settlement

As a client of Mark Mingo I can not say enough of how Professional and thorough he is as a attorney. Mark and his team go into representing a client 110%. I received a settlement of over $1,000,000 dollars because I followed their advice and trusted them to the end. As far as my wife and I are conce...rned there is no other firm in Wisconsin that I would recommend ! So if you need representation for any problems you cant handle all I can say is to contact Mark Mingo !!! :-)
