He is personable, attentive, knowledgeable and respectful. I didn't encounter any of the issues mentioned in the one negative yelp review from many years back. Three other attorneys were recommended by our agent but their reviews were few in number and unflattering in comparison. I found Joerg to be very knowledgeable, efficient, and easy to work with. He walked us through the process and provided solid opinions during the back and forth on contract negotiations. His assistant, Kim, provided timely and very solid administrative support via email and phone. At the end, Joerg quickly reviewed the things that were on my "to do" list and thank goodness for that as I had overlooked getting a sump pump inspection! 3 business days before the closing, I was able to still get it done and meet the close date. It was a pleasure working with Joerg and would not hesitate to refer him or use him again on real estate or other matters.

I will start this review by saying that I am not one to leave bad reviews for honest, hardworking…read morepeople and businesses - however, this is a time that I am making an exception. I was referred to Michael Overmann by a friend of my Mother's after my Father passed unexpectedly. He had no written will, therefore we needed to open a probate account to manage & distribute his assets. We also needed to appoint an administrator of the estate, which ended up being me. Upon reaching out to Michael, he was very responsive and gave us the base amount of information that we needed to get started, but that's about where it starts and ends. My family and I were VERY clear from the start that we knew little to nothing about this process, and would need to be walked through step-by-step, which we were assured by Michael that this would happen. Any time that I called (and he actually picked up), we were rushed off the phone without clear answers, AND THEN subsequently charged for the call on our final ledger. After the initial opening of probate, we went legitimately several months, after attempting to reach his office to close the account, without hearing back. It took me writing an email through his free consultation form on his website to get a message back. Along with the above issues, there were 2-3 instances where he either sent mail to a wrong address, or failed to make corrections to addresses, thus delaying court dates. We were not charged for the extensions thankfully, but due to my aforementioned lack of experience in this area, this created a lot more unnecessary stress on my end. I didn't even hear from him once the probate account was open. I had to search on the court records page myself to find out - the same situation occurred closing the account, even after I requested to be informed of these changes. I don't know if it was just because he knew that we were blindly going to pay him anyways, or that my Father's estate wasn't very big, but throughout the entire process, Michael and his office could not have been more apathetic towards my family and our needs, during what has been clearly an emotionally draining time in our lives. Again, I do not condone ruining business' ratings on Google/Yelp/etc, but I feel that my experience with Michael Overmann warranted this 1 star review. DO NOT hire Overmann Law to handle your estate or probate account. He may be better in other areas, or if you are richer than my family, but his work is not up to par compared to other *honest* lawyers that I could have given my money to.

Lisa Knauf handled my mother's estate after her passing, which included the family business. The…read morecompany shares were divided equally between my sister and me. My sister believed she should transfer her shares to me because she had invested far less time and effort in the business than I had. However, without understanding the history of the family business or consulting me, Lisa Knauf persuaded my sister to retain her shares. In my view, this was highly unprofessional by Knauf Law, as it favored my sister over the interests of our 79-year-old family business and led to an ongoing 50/50 deadlock. I recommend avoiding Knauf Law if you do not want decisions made behind your back by someone who assumes they know better than the people directly involved.

STOP looking for an Attorney - Mark is the BEST!!!!…read more I contacted Mark for what could have turned out to be a felony charge for my son. From the first conversation I had with Mark I knew this was the man that I would be willing to trust my sons life with. Mark is extremely professional and takes what he does very seriously. He walked us through what to expect during the process and he was spot on. He genuinely cares for his clients and will do his absolute best that he can to provide the best outcome. You will not be disappointed if you hire Mark Sutter!

Finding Mark was truly a turning point and a godsend. Referred to us over Labor Day weekend, Mark met with us almost immediately, already fully versed in the details of our case and familiar with its history. From the outset, he was transparent, strategic, and methodical about how he would approach our situation. Mark is highly skilled, deeply knowledgeable, and remarkably effective in navigating the legal system. He combines professionalism with genuine compassion, treating his clients with respect and without judgment. His passion for justice is evident in everything he does, and he advocates with both precision and determination to achieve the best possible outcome. Within days of taking over our son's case, Mark developed a focused legal strategy, prepared critical documents, met extensively with our son, and brought long-overdue momentum to the case. His insight into the prosecution's approach allowed him to counter their arguments with sharp, well-executed legal tactics. What two other attorneys failed to accomplish in five years, Mark resolved in a matter of two months. What sets Mark apart is his integrity--he is driven not by profit, but by doing what is right. Throughout an incredibly stressful process, he remained steady, reassuring, and confident, giving us a sense of trust and hope we had long lost. We knew our case was in the hands of a true expert. Mark's dedication, empathy, and unwavering commitment to his clients make him an outstanding attorney and a trustworthy and honorable man. His efforts quite literally changed our son's future--from facing 28 years in prison for something he did not do, to receiving probation. We wholeheartedly recommend Mark to anyone in need of a passionate, competent, and results-driven attorney. God Bless you Mark and thank you for all you did for us. -- SJ, DJ, MJ
