Client

I hired Michael Green for a divorce and child custody issue. He was professional, compassionate always taking my calls through such a difficult time. I highly recommend him.

would highly recommend

MIchael Green made a difficult time in my life so much easier because of his professional manner, responsiveness to any questions or issues I had, and compassion, understanding and guidance through the process. He is very knowledgable, and I was very satisfied with the results.

Horrible. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

I hired Green for a contested divorce with little equitable distrubution. He ignored the other attorney's calls and letters. He did not keep me up to date on my case. He was very disrespectful. Told me I was too emmotional. I did everything he told me to do. All he wants is YOUR money. And he ...doesn't want to work for it. My husband's attorney drew up all documents. At the MSA meeting, he didn't go over the paperwork. He told me to drop my temporary order of protection and sign the agreement as is. Mr. Green told me to get over losing more than my share. He insinuated that it was my fault for letting my husband abuse me physically and cash in all my stocks, bonds and bank accounts without my knowledge. And if I didn't sign the papers right then, he wanted a check for $25,000 dollars. He said that's what he would charge me to go to trial. Thats after I paid him over $12,000. Months went by and I had not received any return phone calls. I was not divorced yet. I then started getting items mailed to me personally from my husband's attorney saying that Green wouldn't return their calls. I drove to his office and his staff told me he did not want to represent me anymore. They refused to show me where my money went. I immediately sought different counsel. When they contacted Green to get my files, they said my files were in storage. STORAGE??? When I needed him to fight for me, and he had to put some effort into my case, he refused. Because of his actions, my divorce dragged on for 3 years and $30,000 trying to fix what Green screwed up. I had to basically start all over but couldn't change what I lost signing the MSA which was so one sided. I lost the little I should have gotten. Please, do yourself a favor, when your getting divorced and everything needs to be written down, you need an attorney who will fight for you. You don't want a lawyer lIke Michael S. Green.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
