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.

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 a...vailable 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.

Responsive!!

Recently, I needed an attorney without much time to plan. Mike made sure I could get into his office immediately. Even though he was very busy, I felt like a priority. His mannerism in the courtroom is professional and appearance neat, never disorganized. I'm happy with the outcome and would reco...mmend calling Michael Flores's office for legal services as I will if needed in the future.

The Best

The only reason I came out of the divorce process in one piece was due to Mr. Flore's professional behavior and unparalleled expertise. I honestly do not think one could find a better representative and I know one could not find a better firm as he has assembled a team of people that are all highly ...skilled, considerate, and tremendously helpful. Having had some considerable insight into law (including some family law) and having assurances from my ex that the separation was going to be amicable, I originally hired Mr. Flores for a consult. I was immediately impressed by his patience and line of questioning - he provided all I needed and then some for an amicable divorce process. He had listened intently enough to foreshadow a few warning signs that I should have monitored, but in my hopes of moving on, I went about thinking that was going to be the only time I had to partake in his services. A few weeks later and the separation went from amicable to disastrous in about a hundred different ways at once. Michael was there for me every step of the way, without hesitation, with that same patience I had seen in the consult, and with guidance and expertise that I am confident no other firm would have been able to attain. As the situation escalated, I found him (and his team) guiding me on the weekends, late at night, early in the morning, whenever I needed it. And I needed a lot of guidance for a long while. The divorce itself is something that will take a possible lifetime for me to fully get over, but I know I would have been left in an unacceptable fiscal and emotional situation if I had picked any other firm which I had researched when my partner and I decided to separate. I wish there was something else I could say to articulate how amazing he and his team are and how much they differ from other law firms in their care and patience with clients, but I can't find the right words. So I'll end this by saying 'thank you for guiding me through the most difficult time in my life and helping me fight successively what seemed to be an impossible and hopeless situation.'
