Amazing!

My husband and I used Mike for our bankruptcy. We were uneasy about the process but Michael made it very smoothe. He is extremely genuine and went above and beyond for us. Him and Kathie made the entire experience very refreshing and we are SO thankful for all of their help! Would recommend him to an...yone!!

Honesty, integrity, and intelligence would be the best way for me to describe Mike. I had a custody battle that had my whole family losing sleep at night. I had Mike as my lawyer in the past for a not as serious issue and he did more than I expected in that case so when it came time for this l knew... who to call. When I met up with him this time he could see the genuine concern on my face and again exceeded my expectation. All I wanted was for my child to be safe and not only did he accomplish that but in the process he he made me and my family feel at ease with the amount of time and late nights he spent building our case with us. Through this process he put his family on hold to ensure the safety of mine. I am proud to call Mike my lawyer and my friend. I am truly thankful for everything he has done. They don't get better than this man I mean this in regards to both lawyer and humanbeing. THE BEST!!!!!

Dedicated attorney

Attorney Culkin was very thorough during my bankruptcy case. He was also very understanding and compassionate to my situation. He and his assistant kept me informed of what was going on at all times. My case was handled quickly and efficiently. I would highly recommend him for legal assistance.
