Client Testimonials
“Having the lawyers at Nowak & Stauch represent Ranger Fire and other owned entities for the past 10 years has been the equivalent of having our own general counsel looking out for our best interest and bottom line, but with the added benefit of litigators not afraid to try a case to a jury or arbitrators when necessary. Matt Nowak is an excellent lawyer in the court room who has the innate ability to simplify a complex case and argue our company’s position to a jury. Bottom line – Matt wins difficult cases – I would highly recommend Matt and the lawyers at Nowak & Stauch to any business facing potential litigation.”
D. Shipman, President and Owner – Ranger Fire, Inc.
“Over the past 25 yeas as a developer/builder, we have had several attorneys, both general counsel and litigators. With Nowak & Stauch, we have not only found litigators who listen to the complexities of issues, but a team of attorneys with different backgrounds that understand the ramifications of those complexities, and run scenarios up and down the ladder to determine the most effective strategy. We also appreciate how professional and responsive the staff is. It is not the size of the firm that matters, but the quality of the people that makes the difference.”
M. Vexler, President – Mockingbird Properties Corporation

T. Politz, Contractor
“My case was a legal malpractice case. I had very little trust for lawyers. Upon my initial meeting, I immediately felt that Tom was genuinely concerned about me and my situation. As they spoke with me, I knew that they would aggressively work in my behalf. They were committed and kept me informed as promised. I was pleasantly surprised that they treated me like a ‘person’ and not just a case number. They accommodated my work hours and met with me in the evening so I wouldn’t have to miss any work. Tom was extremely polite and always displayed confidence. I would highly recommend Tom and his firm without hesitation.”

Ryan, I just wanted to say, thank you! I really appreciate all your hard work to resolve my case. You understood from the first meeting that I was on a extremely tight budget and you found simple ways to keep remaining expenses from piling up. I appreciate the advice you gave me and your straight forward and honest answers you supplied to all my questions. I hate to admit it, but my opinion of all attorneys was not good. Thank you for not being the stereotype. You definitely changed my opinion of at least one law office.
Jason G., client
I highly recommend Nowak & Stauch, PLLC for anyone in need of strategic skilled malpractice attorneys. From my very first conversation with Matt Nowak and his team, I was impressed by their professionalism, depth of knowledge, and genuine commitment to protecting their clients’ rights and obtaining justice. Matt immediately dove deep into the facts in my case, advised me on my options, and was the most proactive communicative attorney I’ve ever worked with.
Matt’s expertise in malpractice law is unmatched. He is a skilled negotiator and his tactics in mediation proved very successful. I truly felt that they had my best interests at heart, and their hard work led to a successful resolution that I am incredibly grateful for.
If you are looking for attorneys who combine exceptional legal ability with chess level strategy, I cannot recommend Nowak & Stauch, PLLC highly enough.

“Matt Nowak was a God-send to me and my family. He took our legal malpractice claim and in less than six months we were leaving his office with settlement checks in amounts greater than we could have ever imagined; however, his greatest gift to us was restoring our faith in the legal system. He kept us posted via e-mail, office visits, letters, phone and conference calls through every step of the process and was so kind and compassionate to us. He answered our questions and explained legal terms we were unfamiliar with. It was an unbelievably easy process for us following an unbelievably difficult process we had encountered in an earlier suit with another attorney. We will be forever grateful to him for helping us close a very difficult chapter of our lives.”
– Carole Dudley

I would highly recommend Matt and his firm to anyone needing legal representation!”

“At a time when my family had a bad impression of lawyers, Nowak & Stauch completely changed our minds. They treated my family like human beings and really cared about our situation. The attorneys made sure we completely understood everything that was going on. They kept us well informed of what was happening and what the outcomes could be based on our decisions. They were willing to do whatever it took to not only get the job done, but get it done right. The lawyers at Nowak & Stauch did what they told us they would do and didn’t wait until the last minute. They are a very detail oriented firm, and that is one of the many reasons their lawyers are great. They are honest, caring and personable. I would recommend Nowak & Stauch to any of my family or friends.”
