“What others view as legal problems, I view as solution opportunities – opportunities to lead my clients to the results they hope for, efficiently and economically.”. For 35 years, Marshall H. Tanick has represented clients in a wide variety of legal matters, with emphasis on employment law; constitutional law, including defamation, privacy, and other communications; education law; animal law; pet law; land law; and business disputes.. As much a student of law as a practitioner of it, Marshall stays abreast of legal trends and the latest case law by teaching at area law schools, conducting continuing legal education classes, and writing extensively for law and business publications. He also welcomes the opportunity to take on difficult cases. “I’m very interested in legal issues,” says Marshall. “I see them both as personal challenges and opportunities that can lead to modifications or improvements in law, often to make it more accessible and affordable.”. Regardless of precedent-setting potential, Marshall brings to each case a strong work ethic, a commitment to accessibility, and a talent for identifying and explaining strategic options. Clients also benefit from a breadth of experience that helps him understand their legal problems – and turn them into solutions.
“My mission is to help people uncouple with grace and dignity so that they can close one chapter of their life and move onto a new beginning with a sense of security, peace and empowerment.”. Mylene Landry brings a broad set of skills to her practice in Hellmuth & Johnson’s family law practice. “My clients need a strong advocate, analytical thinker and an empathetic counselor in one,” explains Mylene. “Their legal issues are at once emotionally charged and often highly complex, and it’s my job to ensure that their dignity is protected, their wishes respected, and their interests looked after.”. Drawing on over 15 years of experience in the field, Mylene assists clients with legal matters related to child custody, child support, parenting time, spousal maintenance, division of property, complex business valuations and many other issues.. Addressing her clients’ needs effectively requires thorough preparation. “It’s important to be ready for anything, from amicable dissolutions to more adversarial ones,” she says. “For example, I have great faith in the value of seeking resolution through the Alternative Dispute Resolution Process, but I’m also ready to try my clients’ cases before a judge should the need arise.”. Since family law issues frequently spill over into other areas of life, Mylene works closely with her colleagues in Hellmuth & Johnson’s related practices, including real estate, insurance, estate planning, employment and others.. “Today more than ever, the field of family law can entail significant complexity, especially when working with blended and non-traditional families,” she says. “I’ve crafted my practice to enable clients to address the myriad of issues that can arise, and get through them as effectively and cost-efficiently as possible. The fact is, divorce is never easy, but having access to the full range of resources the firm brings to bear can make a real difference in the lives of my clients.”
“It’s not uncommon for attorneys to practice employment and ERISA litigation; what’s difficult for many individuals is to find a lawyer who represents plaintiffs/claimants on a regular basis.”. Denise Yegge Tataryn practices in the employment law area and devotes a substantial portion of her practice to clients seeking long-term disability benefits and other employee benefits. Denise has been practicing in the employment law area for over 25 years and gained a special expertise with ERISA while working with the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. Since then her ERISA practice focuses on assisting claimants through every stage of the claim, including strategic planning before filing a claim, appealing and litigating denied claims, and assisting with ongoing claims and lump sum settlements.. “Generally speaking, ERISA is unfriendly to plaintiffs. In order to prevail, an attorney has to be both detail-oriented and passionate,” explains Denise. “The earlier a claimant seeks assistance, the better, given the complexities of ERISA and its many pitfalls.”. In addition to successfully representing hundreds of disabled clients, Denise practices a wide range of general employment law, representing clients in matters ranging from discrimination to employment contract, non-compete and wrongful termination disputes.
