I had gotten involved in a business contract that had certain aspects to which I was unaware. I contacted Mike Kuzma and showed him the contract and explained the situation. Due to those illegal aspects, Mike was able to get me out of the contract and save me thousands of dollars! Lesson learned! ...
"Mike Kuzma is highly diligent, competent and focused on client service. He possesses a unique set of skills because he speaks fluent Japanese, has experience working on economic development matters for multiple American states and has a network of contacts all across Asia and, in particular, Japan. In addition to this unique skill set, he is a skilled estate and business planner for both domestic and international clients. My firm uses Mike on a variety of business and estate law issues."
"Very professional and skilled in trusts, tax law, and business transactions. I highly recommend this attorney."
