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 ch...apter 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 & 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 beca...use 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!

Made a difficult time bearable

Michael and his wonderful team not only provided excellent representation during my divorce, they made a difficult and emotional time easier for me. Their expert legal advice and knowledge gave me confidence that I would be financially protected. Their care and compassion gave me comfort. Every singl...e person in Michael's practice was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend this team.

Excellent representation!!!!!

Mike and his entire team are fantastic. Driven by professionalism and knowledge, they were able to help navigate me through a very messy and complicated divorce. I am a self employed individual with 5 children. Mike and his team handled my divorce, with regard to my business and my children with care... and expertise. Very pleased with the end result. Thanks to Mike and the whole team!!!!!!!!

Posted by Andrew | July 21, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

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 B...oston 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.
