Dan is an exceptional counselor on business and legal matters to owners and leaders of privately-held companies.  Our firm has worked alongside Dan on a number of client engagements involving privately-held, many of which are family held, businesses involving critical matters pertaining to ownership transition strategies and other M&A initiatives.  For business owners considering a major strategic or financial initiative, our firm is quick to recommend that they first have a conversation with Mayer Galligan Law.

I was referred to Dan several years ago.  I was not receiving great service from (one of Milwaukee’s big) law firms, and was frustrated with outrageous fees — so I asked my outside accounting firm for some names.  Dan came highly recommended… and helped me over the ensuing years on many things, including developing ‘model’ agreements for our use, and negotiating contracts with some of our largest customers.  He also assisted in negotiating the exit/buy-out with one of my minority partners.  Some years into our relationship, Dan introduced me to his law partner, Steve Mayer, who assisted me in preparing my estate plan.  Steve was easy to work with and extremely knowledgeable and experienced in complex estate planning.  Finally, Dan and Steve worked with me in selling and transitioning my company to my son…the quintessential “succession plan.”  While that process became somewhat more contentious than hoped, Dan got the ‘deal’ done.  I highly recommend Mayer Galligan Law.   These guys really did become my trusted advisors.

Daniel has been providing our company legal advice and Partnership Planning assistance for the past 5 years. When (we) decided to change from a corporate structure to a LLP, Daniel provided the expert and professional guidance to insure a seamless transition.  He’s also assisting our existing partnership group in our recent succession planning efforts to bring on new partners to protect the long term success of the company.  Daniel has always provided knowledgeable, professional, and friendly advice for all of our legal matters. If your company is looking for corporate legal representation, I would highly recommend Mayer Galligan Law.

Dan has been my corporate attorney for over 10 years now.  During that time Dan has helped me start and exit several businesses.  Dan has always and will always be an integral part of all of my business opportunities.  His abilities as an attorney and his attention to detail have provided the necessary security to me personally and the business that I have owned.  Looking beyond Dan’s skills as an attorney, the most important thing I can say about Dan is that he has taken a personal interest in my success, both personally and professionally.

We have worked with Steve Mayer for over seven years and he has proven to be an invaluable advisor.   Most significantly, he guided us through two separate property sales, one commercial and one residential, where he was able to untangle years’ old title problems that were the result of a lender’s failure to properly file satisfactions.  The old mortgages were from an FDIC failed bank, with little information to go on.  Steve’s research and vast network of colleague proved to be instrumental in solving this puzzle.

Neither of these sales were clean, easy transactions. Both took quite a bit of time to wind up,  but Steve kept us informed regularly and worked very well with our title company’s president to assure that all discrepancies were completely cleared up. Further, his negotiating skills saved us tens of thousands of dollars of potential related fees and expenses with both deals.

We not only appreciate his successes on our behalf but also his ability to bring some levity to a number of quite serious matters that arose in the process.
