As an attorney, I pride myself on the personal service I give my clients.  For instance, I work on all of my mortgage modificaton files myself.  I meet with my clients myself, I communicate with them directly via phone or email, I prepare the documents that go to the lender and I communicate with the lender and their attorneys.  I do not give the file off to a secretary or paralegal.

I Highly Recommend Michael
Michael is very thorough and patient when describing all of the aspects of my case. His terms are fair and laid out clearly. I have found him to be a strong advocate for me in court, and he does not mind my many questions. I am very glad to have him as my foreclosure attorney.

Excellent Service
Mr. Kinzer was completely up front about the costs and the potential outcome for our case. In the end we were able to sign a satisfactory agreement and it did not cost a penny more than what was agreed upon. Furthermore, Mr. Kinzer was very thorough in the handling of the matter and easy to reach during the entire process.

EXCELLENT LAWYER!
Michael Kinzer handled my chapter 7 bankruptcy which was complicated by a divorce action and foreclosure. He spent a lot of time with me, always explained everything to me in great detail and answered every question. He always returned my phone calls and answered my emails usually the same day. Even after my bankruptcy was discharged, he continued to assist me with lingering issues surrounding my divorce and foreclosure. He ALWAYS provided great advice and I would ABSOLUTELY recommend him to anyone needing a great lawyer!
