Result guaranteed experience

I had a case of divorce, in which I and my wife made agreement on distributing properties and such. Attorney Green gave me clear pictures on what I'm supposed to do and what i may encounter, and everything was taken care of by him without my having to keep an eye on them all the time. The whole proce...ss went smoothly and was done with expected time range. My emails and enquirers were responded quickly. Overall I'm quite satisfied. The price is reasonable considering the quality of service.

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.

Extremely Helpful Divorce Lawyer

I highly recommend Michael Green. He was extremely helpful throughout my divorce process. He provided excellent legal counsel and always made himself available to answer any and all of my questions. He was quick to respond to my phone calls and emails and was also very flexible about working around ...my schedule when setting up meetings.

Excellent! Highly Recommend

I would highly recommend Mr. Green. He always provided excellent counsel and was extremely responsive. I was able to reach him on weekends and in the evenings which was extremely important to me as a single working parent.

Posted by anonymous | July 21, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Uncontested Divorce

Disappointed

I used Mr. Green for a fairly simple, uncontested divorce. I walked in with a written document of agreement from our mediator, all that needed to be done was filing the papers and preparing a Property Settlement Agreement from our agreement document. I waited and waited and finally received a cop...y of the same agreement , word for word, that I gave them. I received sloppy instructions and had to beg for answers to my questions. My phone calls and emails were ignored, even though I needed very little quidance. When my case was ready to request a docket number from the court, (which was because I basically did everything myself and got my answers online), my papers sat, unopened and ignored on his paralegal's desk because she had a baby. My divorce date was delayed by one month for no reason other than Mr. Green's poor service, choosing to not have a temporary replacement for his paralegal, to file boilerplate paperwork. He showed up to court, 15 minutes late, completely unaware of all of the details of my case. He actually seemed surprised as he read my agreement, as if he had never seen it before, although, I was being told he had reviewed and finalized the paperwork. If your divorce is noncontested and you are in agreement, don't waste your time and money with him. If you need representation, I would advise going elsewhere.

  • 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.
