Koukol & Johnson, LLC

I have had the pleasure of working with Angela Schmit since 2019. At that time, she owned her own practice and served as my business attorney. Later she joined Koukol Johnson Schmit & Milone where she assisted me with a very complex, nuanced and contentious civil litigation. When Angela made the transition from private practice to Koukol Johnson Schmit & Milone, she and I had several conversations surrounding the transition and why she felt it was the right fit. Angela shared with me that she felt that the values of her new firm were very much aligned with her own, that she respected the existing partners of the firm greatly, and that the firm had very intelligent associates that were being trained up. As my matter required additional support, I had the pleasure of working with both Michael Milone and Sara Larson from the firm. I quickly realized why Angela was so excited to work with this group. I found everyone that I worked with at Koukol Johnson Schmit & Milone to be highly professional. The attorneys that I interacted with were highly knowledgeable, intelligent and thoughtful in their approach to my case. While the outcome of the case was not what I had hoped for, I do appreciate that everyone I worked with at this firm conducted themselves professionally and ethically even when I could not say the same for the opposition. I never once felt like I was being guided in a way that was contrary to my own ethics or moral compass, the team really listened to my concerns and passionately advocated for my interests. I do and will continue to highly recommend Angela Schmit, Michael Milone, Sara Larson and their team to anyone searching for effective, honest and ethical counsel.

After spending 10 years building my business, I was ready to sell but had no idea where to start—until I met Wendy Wussow. I contacted the law office where my former attorney had retired, and they connected me with Wendy. From our first interaction, I was impressed by her responsiveness, honesty, and incredible work ethic. Wendy began by asking what was most important to me and then followed up to ensure we were on the same page regarding details and costs, with no hidden fees. In fact, she charged me much less than the retainer, which was a pleasant surprise. When I found a buyer—a publicly traded international company—Wendy went above and beyond. She worked tirelessly, often late into the evenings and over weekends, always ready to jump on a call or respond to an urgent email. Throughout the entire process, she looked out for my best interests and navigated the complex negotiations with skill and precision.
