Michael R Speck

Mike was recommended by another great lawyer, Ira Karlstein. As soon as Mike and I started our lawyer-client interaction, I had to reach out to Ira and thank him profusely. Mike gets things done and keeps me in the loop every step of the way. He always reveals his cards so I am not blindsided. It... is this approach plus his positivity that encouraged me to trust his judgement and know that I can be open with him regarding financial limitations and mental stress. One last point, I canvassed several lawyers and his rates are reasonable. I did consult with a lawyer who charged less than him but this lawyer's method discouraged me from finding him trustworthy and reliable. There are other lawyers who charge a lot more because they are part of a bigger firm. For my case, Mike Speck is the right lawyer and whether or not I win does not take away from the fact that Mike and Theresa (his assistant) are the best !

Mike Speck is an excellent Family Law attorney. While he is exemplary in all areas of law and litigation - Mr. Speck proved to be absolutely phenomenal during a very stressful child support case in 2018 through 2019. My child’s father submitted falsified tax returns, Mr. Speck’s keen eye immediat...ely picked up on this act of perjury. He subpoenaed my ex’s lawyer, accountants and the IRS to uncover my ex made $400,000+ a year not $90,000. Child Support laws in NJ are very tough and calculated with a child support worksheet. Once we had my ex’s accurate income info, Mr. Speck was able to calculate correct child support based on my FT income and my ex’s. I saw a substantial increase in child support for my son. Mr. Speck also argued and won - that my ex pay 50% for elite sports training and summer camp. Plus, a % of health insurance for my son. Additionally I received a legal and substantial lump sum of arrears. He prevailed in every matter presented in the case. As a single, working mother, in cancer remission, with sole custody of my son - he truly saved my life. We also encouraged my son’s father to exercise his visitation rights to no avail. Mr. Speck is smart, detailed, and a no-nonsense lawyer. My ex tried his best to out-wit Mr. Speck but failed miserably. In fact, the judge ordered my ex pay a portion of Mr. Speck’s legal fees. The child support case was based in NJ. But my ex lives out of state. That did not stop Mr. Speck from fully prevailing. I’d like to add, in the matter of family court, and because my minor son was involved, I was extremely moved by Mr. Speck’s empathy and determination to fight for my child’s rights. He will represent me until my child graduates college or graduate school. If you need a child support lawyer - you need to call Mr. Speck today.

I met Mr. Speck back in 2012. Since that time he has represented me in Municipal Court for several different matters to include but not limited to DUI, traffic and ordinance violations. We always won based on Mr. Speck’s expertise. Mr. Speck also represented me in Superior Court on an unfounded do...mestic dispute which of course we prevailed. Mr. Speck handled appeals for me in both Superior Court and at the Appellate division. Additionally, Mr. Speck has represented me on several real estate transactions. Every time I had a real estate deal he made sure everything went smoothly. Further, Mr. Speck has represented me on landlord-tenant matters which we have always prevailed. I have never met an attorney who gives you 24/7 access. His response to emails and texts are almost immediate and the fact that he gives his clients his cell phone number Is fantastic - it’s like an open access 24/7 emergency hotline. I highly recommend Mike Speck.

My husband and I retained Mike after numerous failed attempts to resolve post divorce judgements costing a fortune with 2 previous lawyers. Mike was kind, compassionate and above all, knew the urgency in resolving our issues, even making himself available on Sunday's because we were dealing with a ch...ild custody issue. He was a life saver for us and I highly recommend Mike. In fact we have sent him many of our friends. The service he offers at the rate he charges makes him one of a kind, rare finds for a lawyer!

When I first met Mr. Speck I was in a very bad place. I was having legal troubles and didn’t know what to do. And right off the bat this gentleman calmed me and had me feeling that my situation will be alright. He’s a professional and reliable. He returned my calls and texts no matter what time o...f day and even tolerated my anxiety I was having. If he wasn’t a lawyer I’d swear he’s a psych therapist. He helped me deal with my legal issues and I’m glad I hired him. And even now though my issues are dealt with when I need advice he’s always there. I’m glad I hired him and recommend him for anyone in need of legal counseling. Thanks Mike I appreciate your due diligence in my time of need.
