Always there when I need him night or day

Scott Micho has been my attorney for over 20 years. From traffic tickets to criminal charges. To my current situation of child custody and divorce. He has always been available night or day. When other people have tried to recommend other attorneys to me I have never lost my faith in Mr. Micho. He t...akes time away from his personal life to be there when I need him. In my personal opinion you won’t find a better attorney that has proven he cares more about his clients then making money. He has never turned me away if I couldn’t afford his legal fee at the time. In this day and age where most lawyers charge you per call or email Mr. Micho always has been and always will be there for me with my best interest in mind. When he promised me I would get the parental time I wanted in my current custody case for my daughter when I was sure I wouldn’t. He was right. He battled for me and got me exactly what I requested. When my ex wife tried to take me for everything she could in our divorce (Paul) Scott was able to negotiate a fair and reasonable divorce in a quick and timely manor that I was extremely happy with. I will always refer Mr. Micho to anyone that needs legal counsel and be confident that my recommendation will be one that no one will ever regret.

BREATH OF FRESH AIR

Hired scott to take care of a sensitive custody case. As I always say I have never meet a lawyer I trusted or liked. Well that has changed. I would recommend scott on every level. great knowledge of the law, straight forward no games, good fees, well liked and respected, returns phone calls not looki...ng for money. Not easy to find a lawyer that is trustworthy and cares about what he or she is doing for their clients !
