Michael I Flores

I hired attorney Flores to represent me in a divorce action that came about because of an indiscretion on my part. Flores counseled me from the outset, explaining the process, what to expect and how to conduct myself if the divorce turned ugly. It proved to be invaluable advice. Although my wife ...and I chose mediation over litigation, Flores remained in the picture throughout providing cogent advice and cautions (which I often did not heed). It was after my wife and i signed the mediated settlement agreement that Mike showed his true worth. I was suffering at the time from a toxic reaction to a medication I take. This reaction affected cognitive functioning and led me to make a number of decisions that were contrary to my interest. When Mike received a copy of the agreement, he pointed out to me the inadvisable concessions I had made and assumed control of negotiations with my wife's attorney with the express purpose of "saving me from myself". This he did. He was able to obtain more money for me and also negotiated more favorable terms in respect of the timing of payments I owe to my wife. In total, he saved me $30,000 hard dollars and an indeterminate amount in soft dollars related to the changes in the timing of payments of monies that I owe. To summarize, I found Mike to be extremely competent, a fierce advocate of my interest, hardworking (I often spoke to him or traded emails in the late hours of the night and even on Sunday's), extremely polite, kind and understanding. I am thoroughly satisfied with his services and with him as a man.
