Michael Satterwhite was an excellent resource in a time of need. He was informative and even answered questions slightly off the speciality area that I had identified. I gained some valuable insight on that brief phone call. Thank you. And oh, I prevailed in my legal battle.

The Best!
Michael Satterwhite is simply outstanding! I cannot say enough positive things about him. Mr. Satterwhite is professional, intelligent, kind, understanding, and easy to work with. We hired him because we were trying to get my brother (who is severely autistic) into a residential school. We had been fighting the school district for years, and had gotten absolutely nowhere. We had reached a breaking point and decided that the only way we would resolve this issue once and for all is if we hired a lawyer. After our first meeting with Michael we had a good feeling about what’s to come. In a matter of months Michael got us a resolution meeting with the school district which resulted in us winning a residential placement! We were ecstatic! I only wish we had met Michael earlier! He is the best!

Review of M.Satterwhite
Michael is a great attorney! Smart, dedicated and professional. My landlord committed several housing code violations and had been harassing us for months. Michael worked very hard on my case and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I would definitely recommend for anything regarding Tenant/Landlord.

I appreciated the insight and the knowledge
After a couple months of pursuing payment from a car sales gone wrong, I posted a question on Avvo to solicit feedback from lawyers. Attorney Satterwhite was one of the respondents and based on his response, I scheduled an in-person meeting to review the details of my case. He was personable, patient and informative during the process. I was apprehensive about taking the case to court since it involved an acquaintance, but I felt at ease after the consultation. Before we could proceed any further, I received my money back from the car sales, thus eliminating the need for any legal recourse. Attorney Satterwhite was gracious and understanding when I informed him that I wouldn't be proceeding with a legal case. Throughout my interaction with him, I appreciated his depth of knowledge and his patience in explaining the process to me. I would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone out there in need of a lawyer.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND !
Attorney Satterwhite was referred to me after my accident last year by a friend who had nothing but good things to say about him. After working with him through my case this past year, I now see why she spoke so highly of him. He worked extremely hard on my case and was there for me to answer any questions I had or to give me advice every step of the way, any time I would call, and if by chance I would catch him at a time that he was out of the office or in court, he always returned my call as soon as possible. I am more than happy with my choice of making him my Attorney and the outcome of my case !

Amazing Service and saved us thousands!!
Michael handled all of the legal aspects of our home purchase and was amazing! He walked us through every detail and fought to save us thousands of dollars. He is the most professional and responsive lawyer we've ever used.

Best Attorney I Could Ask For
Couldn't have picked a better attorney to represent my wife and I in the purchase of our first home. He is easy to get a hold of, replies instantly 95% of the time, and is a zealous advocate for his clients. He guided us through the entire process and made sure things were done correctly. We were so impressed with his services and will highly recommend him to friends/family.

My Review Of Michael Satterwhite
Michael is extremely intelligent in many different areas of the law. He recently represented my and three other clients in a landlord/ tenant case. We were 100% satisfied with the outcome. He responded clearly and quickly to any questions we had and he would keep us updated with any new information the second he got it. He is professional, friendly, fair, and affordable. I would gladly hire him again if I required legal assistance in the future.

Dispute resolved
I was referred to Attorney Satterwhite during a very difficult time when my condo that I was renting flooded due to the negligence of the condo association. My family and I had lost an obscene amount of personal property and our landlord at the time tried to evict us. I was at a loss and it was very hard finding someone to take our case when finally I found Attorney Satterwhite. He was extremely personable, intelligent, trustworthy and very kind. He always kept me informed about what was going on with my case, always answered my phone calls, and was rapidly responsive through email. He worked diligently to get us what we deserved and had compassion for what we were going through. I was so pleased with the outcome of my cases that I hired him to close on a condo that my family and I had purchased, along with numerous other matters. I have referred many people to him and will continue to do so. Overall I was beyond satisfied with Attorney Satterwhite's very professional performance and it was a pleasure working with him.

Exceptional and Imperishable Results
Even though I filed my case pro se (which can present its own set of issues), and despite the existence of a number of governing court orders, Attorney Satterwhite agreed to take on my case. In doing so, he restored my hope for success in future proceedings. Throughout the case, I expressed a number of desires and Attorney Satterwhite took each one into account and sought out a solution to provide the best possible outcome. I highly recommend Attorney Satterwhite to anyone seeking exceptional and imperishable results.

I Definitely Would Recommend Michael Satterwhite
Michael's attention to detail was outstanding. On a Supplementary Process Hearing, Michael filed a Motion to Dismiss. I had my doubts that motion would be allowed. We taped out of court at 9:30 am after Michael talked with opposing attorney , the Supplementary Process was dismissed before the hearing. Great Job.
Response from Michael Satterwhite June 23, 2015
Thanks David. I appreciate your kind words and your business. I am happy we were able to put this to rest.

Very Helpful
Attorney Satterwhite was very helpful when a flood caused damage to a condo I own. I was very upset because the condo was a result of the condo associations negligence and I knew they had an arsenal of lawyers and didn't think I'd be able to recoup my loss. But Attorney Satterwhite was great a dealing with them and assisted myself and several neighbors who were affected by the flood. Thanks to him I will be able to restore the unit to its normal condition.
