A top attorney in Massachusetts
When I was looking for someone to help me with my legal matters, I talked to several top-notch lawyers. Each had their strengths, but none seemed very impressive. However, everything changed when I had a case evaluation with Michael. After talking with him for a while, I realized he was different. He knew more about the laws than the others did. He carefully listened to what I was going through and gave me clear advice. It was like he had a detailed map of the law in his head and could quickly guide me on the right path using his experience and brilliance. Michael is very familiar with laws, and the way he applies his knowledge is remarkable. What stood out to me was how kind and attentive Michael was. While other lawyers seemed busy or distracted, Michael gave me his full attention every time we talked. It felt like he treated my problems as if they were his own. He wasn't just doing his job; he genuinely wanted to help. Lawyers sometimes use sneaky tactics, especially in divorce cases. But not Michael. He was always upfront with me. He is very honest, and I think this earns him a lot of respect in court. Because of his honesty and good reputation, people in courtrooms pay attention when he speaks. I also discovered that he's well-known in the legal community, and many lawyers in Massachusetts recognize Michael. He's not just famous; other lawyers genuinely respect him. I learned that he has led many lawyer gatherings, helping others to grow in their profession. That tells you just how good he is. If you're in Massachusetts and need a lawyer who is brilliant, knowledgeable, and genuine, I'd strongly recommend Michael Flores and his team. He's not just highly knowledgeable but is also dedicated to assisting his clients to the best of his ability.

Red Bluff California's Top Attorney
Attorney Michael Dexter Florez is the talk amongst the law firms he is known for his street appearance but don't let that change your mind about him. He is aggressive in the court room and has been the first attorney ever in Red Bluff California to have just graduated law school and Hired on and have already gotten 5 cases dismissed and overturned. He has made history. He was born in Fresno California, enlisted in the Marines served 13 years and got out owning his own business being placed in Forbes magazine's Top 10 successful business owners, and graduated from Stanford Law School as top 3 in class and passing the bar the first time with flying colors. What a story to tell...Cohen law Group has been placed in the top 4 as successful Law Firm's of the year ever since Attorney Florez was brought on. He has a high list of clients wanting him to represent them. Their is rumor that Warner Bros Studio wants to come out and interview Attorney Florez for a make of a Movie about his life, And to top it off Medal of Honor Recipient for his Braveness and saving 8 of his fellow Marines in a hour fire fight to get all on the helicopter and be left to fight and hold off the insurgents to get his Marines safely out. Amazing to have a true hero ...Thank you for your hard work and service.

Attorney Flores Review
I highly recommend Attorney Flores. Without the help of Attorney Flores and his team I would not have had as beneficial an outcome of my case as I did. From the outset, his team prepared me by spelling out how the entire litigation would go. In addition to this big picture approach, the team also was expert at dealing with the seemingly endless details of my case. Through it all, Attorney Flores was calm, concise, and patient. Additionally, Attorney Flores and his team have been a great resource even after the conclusion of my case with advice on a wide range of matters as well as providing recommendations for other professionals for situations where I have found the need. Highly recommend.

Experienced, effective divorce attorney
Hiring Mike Flores was one of the best decisions I have made in my life. Mike is an empathetic and strategic divorce/family law attorney. You have access to key experts depending on your situation to ensure you receive the outcome you want and deserve. I was working with a non-family law lawyer before Mike and let me tell you - it makes all the difference in the world. Mike and his team were proactive in putting together a plan the moment I hired his firm to serve on my behalf. If you are going through a divorce/custody/support situation, I can confidently say that hiring Mike Flores will put you in the best possible position to achieve your desired outcome.

This firm was exceptional. I truly felt like I had a team of dedicated advocates fully prepared to represent me in court and help me navigate through the difficult process. Their personalized attention, availability, and compassion helped me navigate my situation. Attorney Flores promptly returned phone calls and took extra time answering all of my questions. This was my first time going through a legal situation of this nature and I felt supported the entire time. I highly recommend this professional firm!

From a very thankful client
I hired Mike to represent me in, likely, one of the most difficult and contentious divorces on record. Mike is second to none. He is a spectacular Attorney who NEVER missed a beat. From professionalism to preparedness, he's got it covered. Watching him in action only helped to further evidence his value. I could go on and on. I will never forget and am so grateful for what Mike has done for me. I am honored to know him.

From a grateful client
I am grateful to Michael Flores and his expert staff for guiding me through my divorce proceedings. From start to finish, Mike was attentive, communicative, articulate and frank. He knew the ins and outs of every aspect of the law, and conveyed each intricacy to me in clear and direct language. Further, Mike has a warm and inviting presence; he really cared about my welfare. He is perfectly professional, but also entirely personable: these are characteristics he has instilled in his staff. Every person I dealt with in his office was precise in the execution of the tasks at hand, but each had a human quality that showed their concern and, frankly, kindness. The outcome of my case was beyond my expectations, and I owe this to Mike and his associates.

Helping to the Next Chapter
When I realized that it was time to close the book on my marriage, it came with a wild range of emotions--and a long list of to dos. I couldn't begin to fathom how to start or even if I really wanted to. Luckily I was giving Michael Flores name and it was just the start I needed to begin this next chapter of my life. Working with Mike Flores and his team was a wonderful experience from start to finish. While navigating what was a tricky and difficult time for me, and dealing with my very specific requests and demands as I had a timeline and picture in my mind that I did not want to waver from, Mike provided constant comfort, a strong and reassuring knowledge of the field, and was sure to make himself available for any and all questions. While no one ever imagines finding themself at the point of divorce, Mike and his team handled the situation with grace, respect, and provided insight that allowed me to feel less alone through the experience. My issues were heard, my thoughts understood, and at the end of the day, the process went as smoothly as I could have asked for. And even after the gravel came down, they continue to answer any outstanding questions, provide counsel for next steps, and remain a strong network of support. Mike is a consumate professional as his amazing team, all of whom I have a great deal of respect and admiration. I never imagined getting to this point but knowing that I had this team in my corner, I never felt scared or unprepared. And at the end of the day, knowing that there was a team who would help me control something so wildly out of control was worth it all. I can't thank them enough for helping me shut this chapter and start a new one.

THE BEST THERE IS!
Ive had a few experiences with speaking with lawyers but my first with Divorce Lawyer. I was nervous since its my first divorce and I didn’t know what to do but Attorney Flores was very patient and thorough with instructions and he is also very understanding of how nerve racking the situation could be, he lays all the options and doesn't force and always suggest. As far as my experience with Attorney Flores, nothing but great things!, all my nervousness, and my worries, gone!. Thank you for all the help. Highly recommend

The Best & Most Honest Divorce Lawyer!
My brother and I hired Atty. Michael for my brother’s divorce. He is such an honest and sincere lawyer and he’s NOT all about JUST business. Our first consult was a complete advice as to how to go about it ourselves if we want to, he was very open and clear about explaining what we should do but because we know my brother’s wife is quite a huge challenge, We decided to actually go with him. He handles the case with always his client’s best interest in mind! I highly recommend him!

Excellent
Mike Flores and his team are authentic professionals. Both their determination for positive results and their legal expertise are unrivaled. Everyone at their office treated me with compassion and respect despite the very stressful nature of divorce. I think the Flores Webpage is perfect for what they provide...they stayed the course and we prevailed.

Simply put, I cannot imagine a better attorney than Michael Flores.
If gaining custody of your child is critically important to their safety and well being and, bar nothing, the most important thing in your life and in your child's life, you need this attorney and his team. I am a physician with a 13 year old son who was referred to Attorney Flores by a prestigious Boston attorney. After a very complex 16 month case, during which time I worked with Attorney Flores on a nearly daily basis, and to the tremendous relief of my son, I now have full physical custody of my son who is safe, happy and thriving. There can be a lot to worry about when you are involved in a custody case. But one thing that you do not have to worry about if Mike is representing you is that you have the very best attorney. He could not have done a better job.

Great team!!!
Intelligent, aggressive, organized & I made me feel like their only client.....After interviewing 4-5 different lawyers for Pembroke to Orleans. I knew Attorney Michael Flores & his team were exactly what I needed. From our initial meeting they had a game plan that fit my wants & needs. Megan Butz (Associate Attorney) was in constant contact with me the entire time, keeping me informed & up-to-date. I had recently started my own business & had no idea how to handle the financial statements but, Laurel Peterson (Bookkeeper & Paralegal) was there to help me every step of the way. In the end, I was granted a visitation schedule that works for me & my every day life & Child support payments that are fair & reasonable for both party's.

Great advice and cares for his clients
I have been working with Michael on a complicated amendment to my divorce agreement and have found him to be amazing to work with. He is well prepared, intelligent, straightforward and only interested in doing what is right for his clients. He additionally does everything possible to make himself available when needed. Unlike other attorneys I have worked with, Michael is very thoughtful on how he spends your money. Given the opportunity I would have worked with Michael from day one and am fully confident that I would have secured a more favorable outcome. I would strongly recommend you have a discussion with Michael before choosing someone to represent you.

Michael Flores and The Flores Law team are Exceptional!
Michael Flores has been by my side as my attorney for almost 10 years. Not only has he been instrumental in fighting for my rights but my children’s rights as well. He is top-notch, dedicated, fair, and honest. I have always been amazed at his intelligence and exceptional understanding of the law. Michael is personable, insightful, articulate, and has the innate ability to “read” others which is helpful in the courtroom. The Flores Law team is outstanding, know me by name, and have always been professional. Attorney Flores is well respected in the law community, the local courts, and among the Cape community. He and his team put in long hours for a case and have always taken the time to answer every email, every phone call, and every question in a timely manner. In court, Attorney Flores is confident, sharp, and savvy to the ways of the courtroom. This in turn helped me feel stronger and more confident when facing a trial. Michael Flores is definitely someone you want on your side of the courtroom. From day one, Michael Flores has been committed and truly believed in representing my case. I am so very grateful for all he has done for me and my family.

Outstanding
Attorney Flores and his entire staff are outstanding. They were extremely professional and knowledgeable while showing compassion and understanding of how stressful divorce can be. Attorney Flores kept me informed at all times and was always on top of the situation. He displayed a high level of integrity that never waivered and he is as good of a person as he is an attorney. Highly recommend.
