Gets the Job Done!

After I panicked and stressed out about a surprising and ironic ACS case brought against me, Michael put my mind at ease. Michael was easy to understand and relaxed. He took care of business and knew what he was talking about. Most importantly, he took me seriously and cared about my situation wit...h ACS. HE got the case dropped and all is WELL!

Registered Nurse

Highly recommend Mike. I was accused of child neglect and being a medical professional, this could have cost me my career. Mike kept calm and always positive even when I was panicking. Always returned text messages and phone calls. Long story short, he got my case dismissed. Thank you Mike!!!

The One and Only defense against ACS

Before hiring Michael I read the reviews like you are right now and thought there was no way he could help me. I felt completely powerless and hopeless. My baby girl was falsely taken from me right after she was born in the hospital. I thought if I complied with ACS it would go away since I was i...nnocent but I soon learned that dealing with ACS was like living in a world where you have no rights. Every single thing you say and do will be twisted, manipulated and used against you. I cried every single second of every single day. When I sat in his office he told me we would take the power back. He was so confident and strong I didn't believe him. I actually walked out. I now thank God everyday that I went back. He took charge of everything. He had my previously "powerful" ACS caseworker stuttering and stumbling over her lies. In the first month after hiring him I was back with my baby. And by the next court date ACS coward to Michael and settled my case. There is NO WAY to get through this without him. Do not speak to a single soul about your case until you speak to him.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
