Marshall H Tanick

Marshall came to my home many times mostly on his bike He is very nice, to the point. Get's things done for his clients, (us) in our case. Marshall went way over the top in our expectations, a true expert in law. If you need a lawyer if you have been wronged, this is the man you want!! Pe...riod!

Being an 'expert' in libel law we had a brief conversation about hiring him for the possibility of suing someone for slander. At that time he was courteous, friendly and appeared to actually want to help. My main concern was statue of limitations, a few lawyers told for FREE that my case was past the... statue of limitations. Mr Tanick told me there was a clause that could extend the statute and to give him $500 so he could research the case and see if it applied. During the almost EIGHT MONTHS i waited for his determination i would call him periodically, literally maybe once a month to ask the status. Each and every call not only he wouldn't tell me the status of his research but i was repeatedly scolded and belittled for calling him and asking what the status was. I was not to call him. It was as if i was speaking to a different person. And that i was a child who was in need of reprimanding. He sent me many copies of legal opinions he had written for Law Journals but nothing regarding our case. EIGHT MONTHS after paying him the $500 'research fee' i was mailed a letter stating that the statue of limitations had expired. No mention of the legal clause he assured me was a possibility of extending the statute of limitations, nothing more than a statement saying, I cant help you, the limitations had expired 2 years ago, which i knew already, have a nice day, any other services required please 'call'. This lawyer is a sham. He is a cheat. He is a phony. He is two faced. For $10,000 i wouldn't refer him to anyone for any legal matter. He had acted in such bad faith that this is the first ever review i have written, i am 36. Nothing in his letter mentioned how he attempted to clear my name, attempted to show his work regarding the clause he 'researched' for, nothing that would show his work. Nothing to provide my family that i tried to clear our name or to the family court judge that i was trying to clear my name due to this matter affecting my parenting time decisions the judge was making.

After I was terminated from my job of twenty years, he helped me get unemployment from an administrative hearing, then helped me get $9,000 sick pay my employer had refused to pay. He used mediation to reach a settlement that ended up covering my legal fees and then some. Without him, I'd have been i...n a very bad place.

We got connected with Mr. Tanick through his online business inquiry, and he reviewed our case, then called us by saying "I will take your case", and then provided to us his thinking of what he would do with the case. The next day, we were in his MPLS office for one hour, we did not learn anything a...bout our case and his advices within that hour, but instead, we learned and obtained 20 pages of his previous OPINION and newspaper publications, of cause, we have to pay him the LAWYER fee. Before we left, we gave him additional pages of case related documents we wanted him to review, and he said he would do it in his spare times. The following day, we called him again and hoped that by then he would be finished his reading and would generated some good ideas about how to proceed with the case, but to our great surprise, he said he did not take any paper from us, he was busy and needed to go. After that we never heard anything from him any more. Lawyers are hungry for cases, some charges you for the first time interview, some don't. In this case, Mr. Tanick lured customer by saying "I will take you case", then take the money, run away fast without doing anything significant to us, made us fully understand what 'Ripple Off" means, especially to someone who just lost job and faced financial difficulty. Mr. Tanick seriously violated his professional code of conduct, and need to be condemned by his bad behave. Really shamed of you!
