Amazing, caring, knowledgeable, professional!

Mr. Weishaar is a total professional and a financial genius. I can unhesitatingly recommend him and his partner, Mr. Gleichenhaus! The entire experience at this law firm, from start to finish, was outstanding in every way. If you need competent, caring attorneys for any of your legal needs, look n...o further! I am forever grateful that I found these gentlemen and will happily use them for any of my future legal requirements. Thank you for your kindness, patience, and expertise! Best wishes always!

Above and Beyond

I hired Mr. Weishaar for a routine Chapter 7 Bankruptcy 1 year ago. The bankruptcy was painless and after the matter was concluded Mr. Weishaar still returned my calls and even helped my 17 year old son with a criminal summons.

Excellent Attorney!!!!

I was working with an attorney who on several occasions failed to return my calls or e-mails. His lack of response forced me to find new counsel. I googled attorneys in my area and Michael Weishaar was one that appeared in my search. He responded to my online request almost immediately, gave me hon...est answers and scenarios of all possible outcomes. I was ready to hire him on the initial phone consultation. We scheduled an office consultation and basically got everything accomplished in 1 meeting. Very knowledgeable, very informative and very down to earth! He got the job done!! Would highly recommend Michael Weishaar!!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
