Austin J Nowakowski

Austin agreed to represent me after my father passed. The timing of the engagement is key in these matters. Prior to completing the initial negotiations he resigned stating that he had two cases in court and couldn't give it the time needed. He also missed very important correspondences he had alrea...dy received on one of the issues causing it to be discussed for at least 5 hours unnecessarily in which I was billed for at $300 an hour. He also does not listen well and caused many other issues that wasted more time, which, of course means more money. He was paid $11k and left me with absolutely nothing in writing to show any outcome or even any directions toward the issues still at hand. There are a number of things he could have done to at least somewhat close out the relationship with some definitive resolutions but he didn't. It's too bad, I waited a long time before posting this because the truth is I like Austin, I know he's smart and seems to also be caring but he just seemed to have a preconceived idea in his mind and just headed in his own direction like a bull with blinders on. It was that hard to get something clear to him. I also wanted to make sure I didn't have any emotions involved. Now, its been 4 months and the facts are he seemed to involved in his own agenda. Timing was everything here. I absolutely would have been happy to pay for what was suppose to happen. But in the end the only winner here was Austin. I would have been better off to have never engaged his services. Since writing this review I read the work that Austin was putting together and he is s good attorney. Better then most. He keeps in touch, he's wide and knows his business. I tried to work with him again but the fallout was too much. I felt it only right to update my review. The only thing that still bothers me is I did feel he had integrity and that he cared to do the right thing. In my vade he never did because, well plain and simple, we had a misunderstanding and rather than work through it he decided to my detriment to throw me away. Unfortunately this is the cause with people in this world today.

The business I work for is a family owned construction company and we hired Austin's firm to put together a design build GC agreement. He worked with us to make sure everything we needed was included in the contract and that we were as protected as possible. Austin was extremely professional and The... turn around on services was great. Would definitely recomend.

Austin helped me set up my petsitting business and I could not have been more impressed. Two things stood out, firstly, his knowledge - he knew exactly what i needed and didn't need (unlike some attorney's who have tried to rip me off in the past with unnecessary extras). Secondly, his communication ...- able to explain things simply (not too much legal-jargon!) and speed he followed up and got things done. I will continue working with Austin and recommend anyone else to do so.
