The best

Mike is amazing. Handled everything with my case. Couldn’t have asked for a better out come. Truly the best lawyer to have.

The best lawyer against ACS

ACS was forcing us to take their services that were not needed. This lawyer helped us and protected us against ACS. Our case is unfounded and we won. This lawyer knows what he’s doing and is professional.

Right on target

Mike came through just when I needed him to. I had a case with ACS that was going to court the next day for a emergency removal. I called Mike for the first time, the morning of the case , and he took the case right away, I did even pay him yet, until later that day after the first hearing. We fought... the case all the way through and finally got the case dismissed (ACS WAS PISSED OFF). Mike was a Godsend. Thanks MIKE! -SL

Awesome

I like how professional Michael is and how he kept track of my case. Michael doesn’t lack or forgets about the client, he is very responsible.I had a child with a man who would use acs as a weapon against me to have me under his sleeves.Every other year he would take me to court and call acs on me... back to back he wanted my attention and didn’t want to pay child support because I denied him taxes since child lived with me . I later in the future wanted a better future for myself away from all that negativity but the past always follows you.When I would go and apply for jobs where there were kids or elderly my Acs past cases would show up and I wouldn’t qualify for the job.There was a pattern on the times this loser used the system to harm me, so it was hard for me to get hired in certain places.Even though I was never found guilty in none of my cases, none of my drug test ever came back positive and I always comply with what was said to be done by Acs.Honestly, I’m so glad I picked Michael because he stood by me to help me out with my case and he believed there was a solution to my situation.I would recommend Michael in the future to any person I know because I believe he loves what he does as a lawyer!!!!Thank you….
