Our Attorneys
"Nick Ricotta has demonstrated a wide range of knowledge in contracts, governance and organizational structure, insurance and real estate enabling our companies to quickly address opportunities in our business dealings. Nick’s insights, always prompt and thorough in response to our changing business interests, gives us an edge in negotiations, purchase and sale opportunities, leasing, and addressing an array of contractual issues.”
“Nick Ricotta is world-class. He is efficient. He thinks strategically. He is not afraid to be unconventional, yet he is detailed-oriented. As a result, he constantly wins. In a decade with him, working cases around the world, I have seen he is as bright as they come. He is a courteous, decent human being – not always the trait of lawyers.”
“After representing me for 20 plus years, in a 10-day arbitration, I worked with Karl in a capacity few clients ever will. Karl is laser-focused and has a work ethic like none other. In my 33 years, I have never worked with anyone whose work ethic, knowledge, integrity, moral and ethical compass are unmatched. By far the most professional person I have ever met. I am proud to have Karl as my Lawyer, but also someone I admire and a friend!”
“For 20+ years and counting we’ve comfortably relied on MWBJ to advise Classic Homes. Nick and the whole firm provide excellent service, counsel, and attentiveness to our business. They understand our unique challenges and employ a collaborative process to find the best solutions.”
"Over the past couple of years, we have worked with Mulliken Weiner Berg and Jolivet on matters ranging from litigation to contract law to asset planning. Their work ethic, attention to detail, and dedication to our needs have been outstanding. We’ve been consistently impressed by the quality of their work and the results they deliver. Moving forward, we will continue to trust MWB&J with of all our legal matters."
“It was a pleasure working with Nick Ricotta, from start to finish. He asks exactly the right questions, truly listens to the answers, then applies his decades of business law experience and outstanding communication skills, to efficiently reach an equitable outcome. He is unflappable. His counsel consistently brought calm, reason and understanding to an otherwise stressful and unfamiliar process.”
“Erin is extremely knowledgeable regarding HR law and best practices. She is responsive, professional and a pleasure to work with. I can highly recommend her to assist you and your company.”
“Karl and his team have been instrumental in successfully defending our company against claims manufactured to avoid paying NGC for its work. Karl and his team provide great advice on the ‘front end,’ helping NGC ensure contracts are well negotiated to prevent later claims and disputes, and to facilitate success in the event one arises. Karl and his team also provide strategic guidance and representation regarding subcontractor defaults, and valuable tools NGC can use to improve its subcontractor selection and management to minimize future issues. MWB&J is a valuable part of our Colorado project team to ensure we are taking the right steps to set our projects up for success. If a dispute arises, we know Karl and his team will help us through it, whatever that may take.”
“If you are looking for a team of attorneys that skip the nonsense and get things done in the best interests of their clients every time, Karl Berg and his team are the only attorneys you need to call. Karl has been our attorney for 25+ years and there is no reason to call anyone else. You will not be disappointed!”
“Our company has solely worked with Karl Berg on everything related to our construction contracts and project documents for almost 12 years now and he has by far been the best attorney we could have retained. We highly recommend him to anyone in the construction industry in need of someone with years of experience and complete competence.”
"Karl Berg is a valuable partner of my company and me. He excels in professionalism and experience. Over the past two decades, his guidance and expertise in construction law have significantly contributed to our company's advancement. He is truly the best at what he does in the construction industry."
“I have had the pleasure of working with Murray and Steve in years past and when I needed personal representation, I turned to the firm I trusted – Mulliken Law!

I trust the partners, associates, and staff at Mulliken Law … and you should too!”
