Michael Walter Meyers

Over the years, I have dealt with my fair share of attorneys who talk a big game but then don't have the knowledge and expertise to backup their claims. Mike, on the other hand, is a professional whom you want on your side. He is communicative, honest, resourceful, strategic, well-connected and expert in handling interstate child custody matters. I am so thankful to Mike and his Sr. Associate Kaitlyn for handling our case and doing everything in their power to help us deal with a messy justice system. I hope we never have to deal with the dreadful courts in NY, but just in case, I am at ease knowing that we would be represented by the creme of the crop at Petroske Riezenman & Meyers.

From first meeting to the last day of the divorce Michael was more than I could have hoped for. He always gave me multiple options and explained each option and path fully. He was a friend when I needed a friend and a bulldog when I need a bulldog. Michael set realistic expectations and did exactly what he said he would. I highly recommend Michael and his firm.

I had just went through the worst thing that could have ever happened to me, my wife wanted a divorce. Michael Walter Meyers was a God send. He was compassionate, caring, and professional, he made me laugh at a time when I just wanted to cry. He was on time with everything he said he would do and he got me a fair settlement. He did not allow me to make emotional choices that would affect me for the rest of my life. I am glad that Mr Meyers was my lawyer, I had interviewed two lawyers before I met Michael they were horrible!!! I am so glad I chose Mr Meyers as my Lawyer.

Clifford Petroske, Mike Meyers and their wonderful team helped me recently to settle my “after divorce" family court custody case which involved custody of two children. EX was extremely spiteful, lied and did everything to try to make my life miserable. This included using unethical tactics to try to make me give up and constantly dragging the case on and on. I never allowed myself to give up and this law firm gave me the confidence to be strong in pursuing what was in the best interest for the children. This law firm helped change my life and the children's lives for the better.

There simply are not words strong enough to describe how highly I recommend Mr. Meyers as an attorney. Faced with a complicated divorce case and an ex-husband who was determined to try to manipulate the legal system, I came to Mr. Meyers after having my previous attorney mishandle my case, leaving me facing an uphill battle. Mr. Meyers handled the transition with ease and immediately after meeting with him, I knew I was in good hands. Mr. Meyers is an extremely brilliant attorney who knows the law better than other attorneys practicing twice as long as he has. He is able to break down intricate legal matters into easy-to-understand language, and was always able to put me at ease in the most overwhelming situations. In addition to astutely handling the multifaceted aspects of a complex custody case, Mr. Meyers is quite genuinely the most compassionate, caring attorney you will ever meet. He has guided me through me some incredibly difficult times during my divorce and custody case, and treated me with patience, kindness, and understanding every step of the way. If you hire Mr. Meyers to represent you, I can assure you that you are in the best hands to handle your legal matters. You will never find an attorney with more integrity than Mr. Meyers, nor will you find someone better equipped to handle the most complicated cases or aggressive opposing attorneys. Thanks to Mr. Meyers, I got the outcome I had hoped for in my case. He believed in me even when there were times that I didn’t believe in myself, and pushed me to get the outcome I deserved. Every day that I look at my daughter as she grows up, I will be forever grateful to Mr. Meyers.

It is an honor to write of my experiences with Michael. I had a previous case pending in his office with another attorney when Michael represented me on a different matter. Michael drafted an Order to Show Cause on a time sensitive matter that same afternoon. I was pleased with how knowledgeable he was and how quickly he was able to prepare my case. I was satisfied with the outcome. Soon after, Michael appeared in court on the first matter. Normally I would not be pleased having an attorney step in and represent me on a case that another attorney is familiar with but after my first experience with Michael, I was put at ease. Michael explained the process as we went along and kept me completely informed on every aspect of my case. The confidence he displayed was extremely comforting. Again, I was more than pleased with his services. Unfortunately, I'm back in the court on yet another matter and I most certainly retained Michael to represent me. He clearly is brilliant and knows the law. If your looking for an attorney who is looking out for your best interest, you just found him.

Michael helped me with a matter in Family Court. His demeanor and ability to absorb all the information quickly and then provide me with solid recommendations was critical to ending my case in a quickly and with my expected results. Thank you Michael for all you have done. I highly recommend Michael!

Professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate. Dedicated and focused on his clients best interests. He is able to easily communicate legal terminology to English. Always well prepared and up for the challenge. He has been by my side and has been a noble force to be reckoned with. My sincerest thanks.

Mr. Meyers was committed to ensuring a smooth divorce proceeding for myself. He made a difficult time that much easier. He was professional, thorough and helped me understand the legal process. He ensured that I was updated on my case and made sure I was fairly represented in all dealings. I would recommend Mr. Meyers to anyone looking for an attorney.

Mr. Meyers was not only my attorney, he was my advocate and my strength when I felt defeated. He was there for the moments I couldn't breathe and wanted to give up everything just so the divorce would go quickly. No matter what time of the day or night a situation arose, he was available to assist. While in the courtroom, Michael was able to remain completely calm until a more aggressive approach was needed; both of which he was successful in getting results. Yes, he was paid to represent me, however, he ALWAYS went above and beyond. He gave me my life back while making the process as pleasant and smooth as possible. I could not have made it through the last year without him!

I met Mike the day of my court appearance. Not only was he extremely well dressed, but he looked and spoke the part too. He was very educated and helpful. I felt comfortable right away and I felt I could trust him with my personal matter. From that day on we were in constant contact whether it be by phone or email. He would even email me back on weekends. He was/is dedicated and honest. You do not find that often in anyone. I felt he had/has my best interests at heart and he is real. On a scale of 1-10 Mike is a 12.

I worked closely with Michael on a custody case I brought to his law firm after having the firm recommended by a close friend. Michael and his team treated me like old family friends during the entire process. I am hugely grateful for the outcome and am confident that should I need his services again Michael and his team have my back. As a divorced father, family law is a difficult world to navigate... Choosing the right lawyer is key and Michael and his firm are the right team to choose...

I met with Mr. Meyers when I had to appear in Family Court after a very difficult and extensive divorce case that ended in Supreme Court a year before. After I received my Judgment of Divorce, my ex still did not comply with court orders, thereby I was receiving child support sporadically and no other support for child care while working. This was leaving me in an extremely financially-stressful situation, not being able to support my children in a consistent manner. I contacted the firm, Clifford J. Petroske, from their website. During my first initial appointment, I was introduced to Mr. Michael Meyers. From the beginning, Michael was the first attorney that I met with who did not make me feel that issues of great concern to me were not important issues to be discussed and dealt with. He actually listened to what I had to say, he was compassionate about the matters at hand, yet very knowledgeable about the language of the law which he explained very clearly and efficiently. I felt confident that if anything could be accomplished positively in my case and move forward, he would do his best trying. His trustworthiness and honesty was something that came through, which is not always the case with other attorneys. This gave me peace of mind. We had several court appearances together and through it all his professionalism and guidance stayed steadfast and reliable. He doesn't make empty promises, yet he is dedicated to helping you achieve the best possible outcome. Going through a divorce, especially with an ex spouse who is not cooperative in any way, is emotionally, mentally and financially draining. It is a time when you are most vulnerable. Having an attorney that you feel comfortable with, knowing that he is watching out for your best interests is priceless. I would highly recommend Mr. Meyers to anyone without a moments hesitation, knowing I am putting them in the right hands. Mr. Meyers is an asset to his firm and to his clients that he represents.

I hired the firm Petroske Riezenman and Meyers based at the time on the good reviews I read. Mike would be assigned to handle my divorce case. His carelessness in the handling of my personal documents, while in court was so unprofessional. We would find out that the opposing attorney would steal my documents that I had given to Mike while in court. When Mike realized this attorney stole my documents, I told Mike to call this attorney (Irene Angelakis) while still in court and return my documents. This attorney would refuse to return then immediately, stating she was in her car (in the court parking lot) and would mail them the following day from her office. That did not sit well with me so Mike would be let go. As I look at the reciews now I would not hire this firm. I did file a complaint with the grievance committee and was told to hire an attorney (which is there answer to everything) and the Judge (Iliou) would not reprimand this attorney.
