Testimonials

Thank you to Minto Law Group, LLC, especially Jeff Brooks and Kim Orlando, for their fine work in protecting the little guy from the 800-pound gorilla in our recent litigation matter. Both I, John Quagliata and others involved at Select Restaurants sincerely appreciate your efforts.

- Alan Donatelli, Vice President and CFO, Select Restaurants, Inc.
Cleveland, OH

I wanted to thank Minto Law Group, and in particular, Brian Kahle, for all the professional legal support that they provided during the successful process of selling my company.

As you know, selling a business to a Fortune 100 company can be an exhausting process. Several issues need to be covered and addressed, from negotiating terms and drafting letters of intent to due diligence gathering and ultimately bringing the acquisition to a final close. All during this process, Minto Law Group was there to assist, represent and protect my interests. Brian and Minto Law's team were always available to handle important calls, questions and requests and I was impressed with how Brian and the firm was able to bring the completion of this acquisition well within our close date. Thanks to Brian for a job well done and I look forward to working with Minto Law Group on future business.

Kim Orlando assisted me with Medicaid planning for my mother and helped me get her a substantial amount in Veteran’s benefits. She also helped us with powers of attorney, living wills and other estate documents so that my mother was protected and her wishes were carried out. She also helped with some assisted facility issues and assisted me with follow-up on some government benefits. She was knowledgeable and compassionate and I would recommend her to anyone seeking help with any estate planning or elder law issues.

We were referred to Kim Orlando because our mother entered a nursing home and we needed advice on our legal rights and asset protection. Kim not only helped us through the maze of Medicaid planning, but Social Security benefits, a special needs trust and a real estate conveyance. Her thorough understanding and family oriented approach was an asset to our family and we would recommend her to anyone needing Elder Law or Special Needs planning.

Rich Osberg has been such a pleasure to work with and both Tom and I appreciated his professionalism, graciousness and most importantly his knowledge of estate planning. We both have complete confidence in his advice, direction and suggestions and were especially comfortable with his handling of our personal business. We have recommended his firm (him personally) to several friends. We will continue to recommend him when the opportunity presents itself.

My mom was facing the reality of needing skilled nursing care. I sought the legal advice of Kim Orlando regarding mom’s estate and Medicaid eligibility. Not only did she assist in essential legal/financial planning to preserve my mother’s estate, but also helped my entire family through peripheral issues we needed to address. She accomplished this in a caring and compassionate way and I would recommend Kim Orlando and Minto Law to anyone with concerns in the area of elder care and estate planning.

I have provided expert testimony on behalf of clients at Minto Law Group, LLC. In this case, the opinion of the experts was particularly important for the jury to reach their verdict. I found that Jeff Brooks provided a highly professional and supportive role in allowing me to easily learn the facts in the case. They also provided rapid turnaround with regard to review of my work, scheduling of depositions, and organizing the testimony in court. Working with Minto Law Group was one of the most efficient and pleasant among the cases for which I have provided expert testimony.
