Horrible Experience
I would not recommend the Micklin Law group for a divorce or any other services. Their error resulted in my simple divorce case to get dismissed and I had to pay to get it reinstated - that right there is enough to look elsewhere. My experience was nothing short of horrendous. There was no guid...
I am sorry to hear that you were unhappy with the representation The Micklin Law Group provided to you. Nobody is more disappointed than me to hear when a client is not satisfied with my firm. You and I discussed your matter and your concerns numerous times throughout our representation of you, and we were able to conclude your divorce with the relief you were seeking, despite the difficulties and complexities that your former spouse and the COVID-19 pandemic added to your case. The dismissal of your case, though brief, was unfortunate, but was due to a misunderstanding with the Court. As you are aware, this issue was rectified quickly, and the presiding Judge agreed that the dismissal occurred in error and reinstated your pleading without the need for motion practice, as is generally required without a showing of an error by the Court. I wish you the best in your future endeavors.

This individual was not a good fit for our firm. We therefore refunded the entire balance of his retainer. We do wish him the best as he finds new counsel.

The ex-wife was required to raise the fact that she intended to seek an increase in alimony but was forced to concede that she had no medical information to support the claim.
Our application was granted. The client received joint legal custody and extended parenting time.
The judge entered an order the same day that we met with the client and prohibited the mother from moving to Florida with their child.
