Why the Zielke Law Firm?

It is my goal to provide my clients with the most sophisticated and efficient service at the most affordable price. As the result of my experience, I have the background to handle capital markets and securities work, but for much less than you would have to pay a large firm for the same services. I have structured my practice to permit me to dedicate my time and effort to each client’s needs when and as they arise. I maintain close contact with my clients while a transaction or other matter is underway so they are always informed of its status. And finally, I enjoy what I do.
