Best you can get

Mike is the best lawyer I've ever worked with. He is extremely well versed in the law, in court he is courteous yet unyielding. He leaves no stone unturned, and no detail goes unnoticed. I can never thank him enough for all the work he has done to secure my family and my future happiness!

Guardianship/Grandparent Visitaion

He has great knowledge of the law . He was very detailed in his preparation of briefs and during court appearance's was always prepared. He put us at ease and explained to us what was happening in terms we could understand. He was honest and forthcoming with information He represented said child with... passion and conviction of the law and the greater good. I would strongly recommend that if your a parent, grandparent. or have a child that needs representation that you choose Michael Edelstein.
