Excellent divorce lawyer!

Mr. Michael Green and Sylwia provided an excellent and efficient service during my divorce case that went for almost an year. I highly recommend them for divorce cases. Mike is a very experienced lawyer in family law, and he brought good wisdom to use to put pressure on the other party. My ex didn...’t want to settle the case in US and wanted the case to be tried in India, so she tried all the dirty tricks to delay the case. For me the important aspect of this case was to get divorce on the grounds that are valid in India as well. During trial, the judge indicated that she is not in favor of extreme cruelty charge. Mike immediately suggested to modify the claim to include desertion and drop the extreme cruelty count. He fought hard to prove that my ex, under the influence of her family, deserted the marriage. He articulated the argument very well, cross examined my ex and convinced the judge on the count. His professional prowess also came to forefront when he understood the weakness of the response filed by my ex that didn’t include equitable distribution. He intelligently dropped my claim to equitable distribution during trial, so that my ex is not entitled to my 401K, assets etc. This had big impact on the opposing party during the trial. During deposition, he went about getting all details from my ex very diligent manner and left no room for her to be vague. His attention to detail ensured that we were able to make the most of the deposition and it proved to be significant during the trial. One of the great things about Mike is that after deposition of my ex and trial, he brainstormed with me what he could have done differently to make more impact in the case. His desire to learn from each case showed how much he loves his profession and expertise in family law. Additionally, Sylwia has been very diligent in preparing the case. I was simply amazed how she creates fully labeled documentation for Mike whenever he showed up during the divorce case. She follows up with court and other parties very frequently to stay on top of the case.

Divorce

Attorney Green handeled my divorced case. It was uncontested divorce but he still made as easy and smuth for the process. Highly recomend him!

He kept my daughter in my life.

I originally hired Michael and team back in 2014 to help with a divorce and hostile child custody case where my ex was trying to relocate to a distant and remote location. Whereas no one really enjoys the process of getting a divorce, particularly when there is such a strong custody component and em...otions to it, I need to say my experience with Michael was excellent. He knew the right people to bring onto the case, and the right approached to argue and present, he kept me focus on what mattered during a very emotional time. It ultimately result in a 50% verdict (which was my goal) for custody. My daughter remains in my life. I am extremely grateful for this blessing and, with the complexities of the case, do not believe vary many other people could have pulled it off (I interviewed at least 5 other attorneys before I engaged him.) Recently, I am up for child support renegotiation and again I have engaged Michael and am having the same experience. It is a relief to have someone who I trust that can take the lead on these matters. His approach is always professional and focused. I listen to his advice 100%. I would strongly recommend him.

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 Representation

Michael Green guided me through the Family Court process and gave me insight and knowledge that was extremely helpful. He was readily available when I had questions and took the time to listen to my concerns and put me at ease. Michael Green is very professional and sincere. His experience in Fami...ly Law makes him an excellent choice for those who are looking for an outstanding attorney who is willing to fight for what's right. I was very satisfied with the representation I received and I would definitely turn to Michael Green again in the future if I am in need of his legal skills.
