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.

Child Custody

So far I am confident in Mr.Gleeson. although my custody modification is not yet over and has barely just begun, speaking to Michael, and expressing my needs and requests as a father, he seemed to listen and understand them very well. He never said no, you cant, or it won't ever happen. He has so... far had an ear full to offer me, of what seems to be good knowledgable advice and salutions on what I am to do while approaching my custody modification head on. I will write a further review on Michael Gleeson when all is said an done. Also, I have had four attorneys sense 2008 regarding this same custody case, and not one of those attorneys had half the solutions or resolve that Michael had to offer me. All during our first and so far only, client attorney confrence about how we will go about getting me what I want. He had answers to my questions and salutions, directly off of the bat. Honest, understandable, legitimate, and clear answers. I am feeling confident for the first time In eight years of dealing with this and trying to make sure that i keep maintaining a stable and healthy relationship with my little princess. For this ive given him a 3 star rating for now. Will post again at a later date.

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!"
