Amazing!

Attorney Michael Edelstein is the best lawyer around. If I ever need another lawyer I would choose him without even thinking about it! He helped me with getting my family back together. Everything I asked of him, he did, and he did it greatly! Not one detail went unnoticed in that court room. He is... very determined and a great lawyer if you want to win your case. Very great person all around! Thank you Michael!

Felt Blessed

A lawyer who knows what he is doing, aggressive and will fight to get what you deserve. I went into court with a roller coaster of emotions. Afraid and uncertain wether I was going to do good in court. I dislike courts but when Michael arrived he made me feel like everything was going to be okay. I f...elt proud having him as my lawyer. He does not offer you anything that he cannot do and tells you straight how it is and he makes sure you understand and know what you are up for. I truly felt blessed to have him as a lawyer and felt that he was more then a lawyer but also a mentor. He truly cared about me because what no other lawyer did due to my financial status Michael was ready to fight for me. I truly recommend him. Thank You Michael!

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.
