Resolved fast

After having an issue with a local car dealership I had no choice but to get a lawyer involved. I’m I contacted Mr Siemens and he was able to meet with me fairly quickly. Once he sat down to discuss my case, he was very professional, honest and straight forward with me. He did not promise anything bu...t promised me he’d do his best to resolve my issue. He was able to help resolve my issue with a couple phone calls that allowed me to then go to the dealership and meet with the general manager. I felt very confident with Mr Siemens as my lawyer. I would use Mr Siemens for my future law needs if needed. The entire office staff was also very kind and polite. Very great experience overall.

Extremely competent and approachable

I am a minority owner in a small, closely held company. Our CEO and largest shareholder recently announced his retirement with very short notice and asked that I sign certain legal documents regarding the sale. I contact Ken for legal help and had a very short timeline in which to make a decision. ... He and his team were amazing and helped me understand the ramifications of the legal documents along with pros/cons of signing. I was very impressed with Ken's knowledge and his ability to explain complex legal concepts to me. I would highly recommend Ken to anyone needing legal services. He is extremely competent and very approachable which is a unique combination of traits.

GINA

I asked for his opinion about disciplining employees that resisted completing forms that my broker said was required to obtain an employee census for our company provided health care plan. I am confident that he researched the topic, identified any real or potential exposure, and gave clear guidance ...on how to proceed in the future to avoid any further exposure. He consulted with colleagues that specialize specifically in areas I had concerns, verified what he had learned, and then provided links to specific guidance related to the act itself and the DOL’s position when navigating the issue. He gave me a short case brief that also provided insight and further justified his interpretation. I called to ask a simple question assuming my broker wasn't doing anything wrong and ended up discovering an area of exposure I wasn't even aware of. He even explained the exposure to my broker...for all the good it did.

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
