Q. How do you know this lawyer?

I met Mr. Shubeck through a BNI networking group about 6 months ago. Since he has managed the South Dakota satellite office for a firm based in California, he gained a variety of experience in litigation and settlement work.

Q. In the cases you were involved in with this attorney, which of the following apply?
  • Same Client

Since meeting, we have discussed various litigation and procedural legal issues. I find him to be a knowledgable, experienced litigator. After Mr. Shubeck successfully settled a case for his client, I was engaged to draft a special needs trust for the client to allow the client to receive the benefit of settlement funds without jeopardizing her government benefits.

Q. When did you work with this lawyer?
October and November 2021
Q. Was this lawyer an effective advocate/counselor and why?
Yes

He was able and willing to see outside the scope of the representation. He recognized that if his client received the settlement funds she would likely be disqualified from receiving further government benefits. He took action on this issue and thus help his client avoid a more expensive mistake!
