    • I do not recommend Michael Strauss.
    • I hired Michael 1-3 years ago.
    • Michael handled my Divorce / Separation matter.
    • I have previously worked with 3-5 lawyers.

    Reminded me of a used car salesman looking back--told me with much confidence & bravado that I had every right & would receive certain assets in a divorce case. I did most of the legwork when it came to paperwork & completing documents. Judge ended up awarding most of assets to ex-spouse & attorney blamed it all on Judge. Looking back there were many questionable actions on attorney's part that I should have addressed at the time but with all the stress/emotion I did not. I did not feel any support throughout the process (aside from the initial consultation). I even overheard another client upset in the lobby complaining over many similar issues. Also, office staff was very unprofessional smoking in front of the building & they canceled multiple scheduled appointments, office was a mess with stacks of paperwork laying everywhere. The only ok feedback I can give is that attorney did respond to my emails in a timely fashion

    • I do not recommend Michael Strauss.
    • I hired Michael more than 3 years ago.
    • Michael handled my Child Custody matter.
    • I have previously worked with no lawyers.

    It took months for their group to respond to me via email or phone, it took several months for them to start working on my petitions, and when they did, it was poorly written. I did not feel supported at all. Poor communication (if any), and felt like I could not trust them to do what was best for me and my case. I had to "fire" them after initial petitions were filed due to their apathetic attitudes.

      Lawyer’s Comment:

      I honestly have no idea who this is or could be as this has never happened. It has never ever takens over a week, let alone a month, for me to contact someone. Never. Perhaps, they have could me with someone else.
