Michael Brennan

Greater Milwaukee Area

Founder of thevirtualattorney.com a virtual law office that redifines what it means to work with a lawyer. Startup and small business law attorney. An entrepreneur happy to lend my knowledge of the law to other entrepreneurs. I'm a licensed attorney in Wisconsin, Illinois and Minnesota who founded the Virtual Attorney to bring the pactice of law into the 21st century. Through the use of technology and the internet I offer modern convenience to professionals, small businesses and entrepreneurs.

I currently live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with my wonderful fiancé and crazy little dog. After graduating from the University of the Pacific-McGeorge School of Law in Sacramento, CA, as a displaced University of Wisconsin-Madison alum, I saw a lack of options for young professionals and entrepreneurs to get legal assistance for businesses.

As a licensed attorney in Wisconsin, Illinois and Minnesota I have experience with startups in particular midwestern locals and I know about the laws and state-specific potential road blocks you'll need to look out for.

As a young entrepreneur myself I always beloeved that the brilliant young minds of today are a wealth of great innovative ideas waiting to be put into action. I wanted to act as an asset to these individuals by providing an affordable means of getting legal advice and assistance necessary to turn those great ideas into great businesses.

I was able to be an established member on the contracting team while with GE Healthcare when Mike began his term in the position, and saw much growth through his time in the role. Not only was Mike able to quickly take on multiple tasks within his job responsibilities, but was also willing to take on additional responsibilities to help out the team. He was never afraid to ask for help, or provide his input on how to better a process to make it more manageable for not just himself, but the rest of the team, and the company as a whole. His ability to successfully negotiate complex business transactions within the context of the job is outstanding. I would recommend him for any position as a valuable asset to any opportunity.

I had the distinct pleasure of working with Mike during his tenure at GE Healthcare. Mike has superior skills in identifying both legal and business issues, proposing practical and viable solutions and taking the next step of anticipating (and avoiding) any pitfalls of the proposed resolutions. Mike works quickly and efficiently and is one of the best attorneys I have worked with to date in my career. I truly enjoyed being a colleague of Mike's, not only for his strong work ethic and superior intellect, but also his engaging personality. He is an asset to the legal profession.

Mike is an outstanding attorney who can do many different things well. One of the things that stands out is his ability to learn and adapt quickly. He was able to hit the ground running at GE and that is not an easy thing to do. I would recomend him for any position.

I had the pleasure of working with Michael at GE Healthcare as part of the U.S. Commercial Contracting team. Michael and I shared the same territory in mid America. Michael was a pleasure to work with. He managed a large caseload and easily met deadlines. He was superb at negotiating contract language with customers. He was very personable, while at the same time maintaining a high standard towards state, federal and GE internal compliance rules and regulations. He worked well with internal teams in GE Healthcare; such was with the risk, controllership, finance and legal teams. For someone who is looking for a hardworking attorney, who is attentive to details and responsive, I would highly recommend Michael. With Michael’s work ethic, he will be a valuable asset wherever his future may take him and clients would be fortunate to retain him as counsel.

Mike is an excellent attorney who works well independently and in the team environment. He understands risk management, but also knows how to communicate effectively and manage multiple stakeholders with varying interests. I highly recommend Mike for any organization.

Michael was able to succeed with a challenging deadline providing excellent estate planning documents and counsel.

A family member's emergency trip to South America prompted an immediate need for an updated will. Having to battle a language barrier, previously enacted living wills and a client unfamiliar with the American legal system, Michael was able to overcome hurdles to provide results above expectations.

Based on my interactions, I would recommend Michael for everything from basic legal services to complicated business transactions.

I would feel comfortable recommending Mike Brennan to anyone. He is a very skilled attorney with expansive estate planning and commercial law experience. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work directly with Mike within the contracting team at GE Healthcare, and throughout my experience working with him, I was thoroughly impressed with his keen attention to detail and strong analytical skills, which helped him successfully review, negotiate, and draft multimillion dollar service and equipment contracts in a multi-state zone. Mike's dedicated work ethic and results driven attitude coupled with his ability to successfully manage numerous responsibilities makes me confident that he will go far, and please many clients along the way.

Michael took on my family's will and trust work and produced excellent work in a very short timeframe. We provided confusing inputs and didn't understand the law or the process and Michael sorted through our confusion, guided us through the process and produced quality results quickly and inexpensively. I would recommend him to anyone looking for this type of work.
