Handles high conflict divorce/custody case very well!

Coming from a high conflict custody & divorce case, Michael made my life easier and helped legally alleviate any worries/problems that arose from the mother of my child. After filing for divorce, the mother of my child had ran away to another state and refused to let me see my child. Michael was quic...k to put in petitions, get them addressed and signed by a judge in a prompt manner. Michael is always quick and on top of all documentation, reaching out via email, or a phone call away. I will be keeping Michael on retainer as long as my case resides in his county.

Great attorney for custody and support

My case was fairly complicated and involved a high conflict divorce with associated custody and support issues that spanned a number of years. Michael was very knowledgeable about the process and communicated extremely well throughout the whole ordeal. He listened to my input and gave me realistic ...advice. Definitely recommended.

Reliable Attorney

Michael provided thorough guidance throughout my divorce. When I gave him deadlines he worked diligently to exceed expectations. Also, he responded to emails and phone calls promptly, which greatly reduced any concerns with the matter in which I was reaching out to him for guidance. I felt very co...mfortable and confident with Michael at the helm from start to finish. I am very grateful to have had him as my attorney.

Relationship: Supervised lawyer

"I have supervised and worked with Atty. Gleeson since he graduated from law school and became a member of the PA Bar. I consider my decision to hire Michael as being one of the best decisions I have made for my law firm. I regularly receive unsolicited comments on the excellent job Michael performs, not only from his clients, but also from fellow attorneys, and most importantly, from the Judges before which he appears.,"

"Michael is a zealous, yet level-headed and reasonable advocate for his clients. After having cases with Attorney Gleeson representing the opposing party, I have nothing but respect for his lawyering. In my opinion, any client is truly lucky to have Michael represent them in a family law matter!"

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.
