Posted by Layla | April 23, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Outstanding Family Court Representation

After years of feeling dismissed and unheard, working with Michael was a breath of fresh air. He was the only attorney who genuinely listened to me, believed in what I was saying, and fought with everything he had to protect my daughter. His compassion, dedication, and attention to detail made all th...e difference in our custody case. Michael took the time to understand the full picture, and he never made me feel like I was exaggerating or being overly emotional—something I had experienced far too often in the past. He treated my concerns with the seriousness they deserved and made my daughter’s safety his top priority. Because of his commitment and determination, my daughter is now living in a safe, loving environment, free from the abuse and danger she was once surrounded by. I will always be grateful for the way Michael stood by me and gave us both hope when we had almost lost it. If you are looking for a family court attorney who actually cares, who fights hard, and who will never stop advocating for what’s right, I cannot recommend Michael enough.

Good Outcome

So Far the Only Lawyer to Get Me a Good outcome Simply by Following my Directions. I do not know why previous attorney's were unwilling to tell my side of the story or discuss my medical condition; my motives, and the plaintiffs motives. The judge agreed with me and I got a conditional discharge. M...ichael was Chosen by Suffolk Legal Aid so he was chosen randomly, as far as I am concerned. I wanted to represent myself but the Judge ordered a 730 Exam for trying to speak to him in between attorneys. Michael was able to get me certified competent as well. Suffolk Legal Aid was unable to do that. They were also Unwilling to speak to the Da or Judge on my Behalf. Michael was not Timid in that regard. However, I shouldn't have to threaten to leave a Bad Review to get an attorney to follow my instructions. Good Outcome Found a guy who Proved me Competent Only Attorney To Follow My Directions

A very good choice in attorney!

Michael was hired for what appeared to be a clear cut dismissal of a lawsuit brought against me but unfortunately has turned into much more by the opposing side. I am extremely confident in Michael's legal background and ability and have found if there is something he has not come across before , he ...knows where to research it and has the resources to find out what is needed. I am grateful he has taken my case and recommend him highly!
