How I Work with Clients

Selecting and working with a lawyer is a relationship of trust akin to choosing a doctor or a business partner. While the lawyer’s duty is to represent you to the best of his or her ability, the co-extensive duty exists to give you the best advice possible and full disclosure of all aspects of any legal matter, even if they are things a client may not want to hear. Over the course of my practice, I have been blessed in being able to develop exactly that kind of long-lasting relationship based on mutual trust. I work hard to get to know my clients, as the better I know them the better I can help them achieve their business goals.

Fee Approach

Given the nature of my practice, as a rule I do not ask for, nor accept, retainer payments in advance of providing legal services. Further to the mutual trust necessary in an attorney-client relationship, I choose to provide the services asked of me, for which I submit a detailed bill each month. The bill will explain exactly what I did for each 1/10th of an hour (six minutes) on each task. No client ever receives a statement with large blocks of time merely referencing “work on file”, “work on case” or “office time”, which I believe is the billing practice of too many attorneys. As the client, you should have a record of everything your lawyer did and what day (and sometimes the time of day or night) it was done, including the exact amount of time each task took. At times you will see the designation “n/c” for “no charge”, which indicates work I did but did not bill for. You are also provided copies of all documents I ever generate on your behalf. Other than my personal notes and copies of certain research, your file on every matter should be identical to mine.

Client Experiences

"I reached out to John for assistance with updating legal documents for a rental property. I had some very specific concerns, which John carefully listened to, and he walked me through several options I had not previously considered. His ability to quickly assess my needs resulted in a customized lease agreement which protected my property from tenant liability and holdover status. John was a pleasure to work with - his professionalism and ability to do an unbiased 360 evaluation of the potential legal ramifications was refreshing, and gave me the confidence I needed to know that I had all the bases covered legally."

- Ellie, Real Estate Investor

"My sister passed away and didn't have a will. John helped us work through probate and legal issues resulting from her death, to include working with an out of state attorney representing the property owner of the home my sister was renting. He helped us make sense of the legal paperwork, and advised us on the best course of action given the circumstances. We really appreciated his help and counsel during a difficult personal situation."

- M.P.

"I highly recommend John for corporate legal work. My business partner and I were starting a new venture. John advised us on the advantages and disadvantages of forming an LLC or an S-corp. He created the necessary documents, to include corporate by-laws, a partnership agreement, and an operating agreement. He also created comprehensive non-disclosure agreements to use with our clients, as well as sales contracts specific to our business. John was professional, knowledgeable, and demonstrated sound judgement in his recommendations. I would gladly use him again for any needed corporate legal work."

"I highly recommend John Giduck as a legal advisor. He consistently provided expert, clear, and practical advice that helped me navigate complex legal matters with confidence. John Giduck is not only knowledgeable but also approachable, always taking the time to understand my needs and offer tailored solutions. His professionalism and dedication make him an invaluable resource."

- Igor Livits, Executive Director, Ares Protection, Inc.

"John Giduck has been my corporate and personal attorney for over 25 years. During that time, he has resolved many different types of legal issues on my behalf. John is very experienced in the law and is the most dedicated attorney I have ever witnessed. I have been honored to have him help me with problems that not only arise as a business owner, but also with general life experiences. As a chief executive of a community corrections agency, John was instrumental in addressing all issues that arose through the operation of the program. Prior to meeting John, I had hired multiple high end law firms to assist me in the operation of my business. He was superior to all of them. In support of a community corrections professional organization, he authored an amicus brief that was submitted to the Colorado State Supreme Court, and that met with great success. John listens carefully and is determined to represent the best interests of his clients. I cannot say enough good things about him."

- Ellen C., Former Executive Director, Community Corrections Programs

"I have known and worked with John for more than 20 years. Through that time, he has helped me resolve numerous legal issues, some that did not appear to have any solution. His creativity in addressing legal issues is amazing. Over time, I have learned that the earlier I get John involved with business and legal matters, the better for me as he can prevent or fix problems before they grow too big. Keeping him informed as to my business operations works to my benefit."

- Bryan R., Owner, Excavation Company

"As the President of a non-profit Veteran’s organization, I write to explain the many ways that Attorney John Giduck assisted the organization in legal and other matters in my eight-year tenure as President. Attorney John Giduck made himself available for all legal questions and situations that came before the organization over my time as President. His knowledge and expertise were invaluable to the success of the organization. Mr. Giduck assisted me with guidance and solutions in the following areas:

· Addressing questions regarding IRS compliance with governance, operations and merchandising in the IRC 501 (c)(19) Veteran’s Organization.

· Developing and implementing policies of governance of annual Membership meetings.

· Rewriting and passing amended Articles of Incorporation and updating of Bylaws to reflect current understanding of the purpose and future direction of the organization.

· Negotiations and dispute resolution with a merchandise vendor.

· Addressing issues regarding federal copyright and trademark of organizational

graphics and possible infringement.

· Review of existing and newly considered contracts.

Mr. Giduck was accessible to me whenever I needed advice on legal and other issues involved. One of the aspects of his assistance is that he never offered help on any subject that he was not familiar with. In instances where the matter was outside his expertise, he honestly stated so and requested that I seek help from another source. I could always trust him at his word. He speaks his mind and is always up front."
