This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Bankruptcy

Earlier this year I fell on hard time in terms of debt, I was trying to pay it off and refused to give up. Unfortunately due to personal issues I started to accrue more debt that I could not longer handle. My friend recommended Michael for a consultation and to look at my options. I was scared becaus...e I always had a good credit score now I was way over my head and my credit started to drop. I finally called Michael for a consultation, speaking briefly to him I did retain for Chap 9 Bankruptcy. I was overwhelmed with questions on top of questions where I did not know how to start. Only response I got from Michael was, it's ok I got you covered, I will send you some stuff and we will go step by step from there. Everything else was a breeze, If I ever had questions Michael would answer almost immediately, if he did not answer me, he would call me back or text me answering any question that I had for him in a timely fashion. My overall experience was great, I was guided to help my case go smoothly and most importantly I was put at ease.

Highly recommend

I hired Mayya and Michael to represent my family member on two extremely difficult legal cases and their service was beyond of outstanding level - attentive to the point, always giving phone calls back with information and answers and process status of the cases. Their commitment, dedication and hig...h level competence were beyond my expectation. I could not be more satisfied with their representation and would recommend anyone seeking legal help.

Always honest and humble. Highly recommend.

Mike has been my lawyer for many years and i can not say enough good things about him. He has helped me with numerous situations over the years. No matter how big or small the issue is, Mike always gives it his all. He is honest and gives a 360 view of the issue at hand. While Mike is very knowle...dgeable in a variety of areas, he is also humble enough to get other experts involved if he thinks it is good for his clients.

Mr. Michael Byk, doing his job right and professionally!

I’ve been consulting with lawyer M. Byk. He explained to us all the sides of our case. After the consultation we realized we could make bankruptcy in a difficult time for us. Our lawyer Mr. Byk helped for me and my family to get out of form of psychological fear of bankruptcy! ... I am grateful for lawyer Mr. Michael Byk for care about me, with clear professional communication and excellent work! I am recommending to hire Mr. Byk
