Michael helped me navigate restraining orders and a divorce. He's extremely switched on and knowledgeable, particularly with military divorces and divorces involving non-citizens. This was my first divorce and my first court proceeding since living in the US, so I had to place a lot of trust in him. He was able to put me at ease during a very stressful time, while also delving into some sensitive topics - asking the difficult questions to make sure every angle of my case was covered and handled properly. I appreciated his honesty and advice and for including me completely as we worked out a strategy for my situation and case. I'm not one for the spotlight, so he took the extra time to prep me for all my court hearings, which I really appreciated. I was extremely pleased with the outcomes of both cases and would wholeheartedly recommend Michael to others.
Mr. Stein is very approachable and attentive. When ever I had a question or concern he made himself available. During these difficult times, I always felt I had someone on my side. Thank you.

Divorce & Family Law
Michael handled my divorce over 10 years ago and continues, to this day, to deal with an extensive 10 year custody battle. The patience and support he has offered has provided a strong foundation for trust. He’s honest, open, and real. He’s been there at every turn and for any need, at all random hours! He genuinely cares and I wouldn’t trust the hardest situations a person can experience with anyone else.

So grateful!
Michael was extremely helpful throughout my entire case. From the consultation, and onward he was very thorough, extremely professional, courteous and responsive until the very last moment. He was more than knowledgeable and after giving me a brief rundown on how these hearings and casings usually turn out and I immediately knew that I’d want him to represent me. He guided me on the direction of how things should properly go and made suggestions and inputs when needed, when he felt they could help both myself and my case. Always willing to answer any questions or concerns that I’ve had throughout the process and if I was unable to reach him, he would be sure to respond quickly and within a very realistic and reasonable timeframe. He ensures that you understand everything going on and gives updates as needed. I’m very thankful to Michael and his team for helping me out, and I know my family is as well. He was compassionate and looked upon my case as if it were his very own situation, unlike other lawyers who would look at it simply as another case. I never felt just like another client with Michael. I cannot thank Michael enough for everything he’s done. If the need arises in the future I will not hesitate to give him a call. If you’re contemplating a consultation with him, don’t think twice just go for it! Thanks again Michael!

EXCELLENT ATTORNEY!!
Michael j is excellent. I have used Michael for my divorce and also for my house closing. VERY professional and stayed in contact with me about exactly what was going on the whole way. He's down to earth, honest and did all he could for me. It is a good feeling to know I have an attorney that I can call for any future situations and he will guide me down the right path. I am happy I chose him as my attorney. I will be recommending him to any friends or others in the same/ or similar situations.

Buying Real Estate
I had Michael for my real estate process for buying a home. He was responsive at all hours of the day every day and was very helpful. He helped me with negotiations in ways I would have never been able to help myself and was able to communicate with others on my behalf whenever things in the process weren't going smoothly.

The Best There Is
Michael is the attorney you want to go to for family law! I would give more than 5 stars if I could. Michael was the best to work with. He made things extremely easy and turned a bad situation into a great outcome in the end. He fought for me and answered every question I had clearly and concisely. Michael knew exactly what I wanted from the get-go and was able to perfect it in the courtroom. I could not thank this team enough for getting me through my divorce and custody hearings.
