  • I worked with John Goralka in setting up a legal structure for my business. His knowledge and suggestions regarding which structure I needed were spot on target. I was very happy with how he worked with me and the patience to deal with my endless questions! Why is that important? He billed me one price for the whole setting up and didn't charge extra when I called with yet another question or concern. He doesn't nickel and dime you for everything which is as nice as it gets from an attorney. I was so satisfied that I ended up having him work on a personal trust for me. Again, he was very patient in making sure I understood the ins and outs of what I was trying to do. His guidance and expertise made the process of getting things set up a relatively easy process. His price structure was also fair and didn't have little add-ons here and there. Very fair and reasonable. I also honestly feel like he actually cares about me as a client AND a person. He shows by his demeanor and actions that he is vested in doing the best that he can for me as my attorney. I will continue to use John for as long as he will have me as a client!
