Michael Anthony Somma

Mr. Michael Somma was assigned by the Brooklyn Family Court Judge to be my son's lawyer. He is, in other words, an 18B attorney. I had a chance to talk to him in person in order to get a feel for him. In other words, I vetted Mr. Somma. He questioned my son's parental practices, such as, "Does spend ...enough time with his two children?" I told him, "Yes, he does." Mr. Somma answered, "Well how can he spend enough time with his children when he has a pregnant girfriend?" I responded, "My son spends two days out of the week with his girlfriend and the rest of the week with his children. Of course in many instances he works over time in order to have enough money to provide for his children, but there are parents who work two, and sometimes, three jobs." Mr. Somma's response, "Yes, but many parents work and then come home to spend time with their children." At the time this interview took place it was 7:00 at night. I do not know if Mr. Somma has children, but he certainly works late hours.I was in the stand, I was on trial, and Mr. Soma became the prosecuted, ready, once again, to find my son guilty of something. Ever since this case was with Child Protective Services and Brooklyn Family court, it has been about my son, not about his Ex-girlfriend, not about his Ex-girlfriend's lawyer, or anyone else, but solely about my son's character and parental practices; questioning him as though they were the Judge and Magistrate, ready to send him to the fires of Hell. Today, February 3, 2016, Mr. Somma left a message, explaining that the mother of my grandchildren has drawn an agreement that is very reasonable and that he needs to contact him in order for him to sign the agreement. Bare in mind that my son has not had a consultation with Mr. Somma yet, and he has not seen him in person to learn what kind of lawyer Mr. Somma is, or who is Mr. Somma working for. Is it my son he's working for, or is it for the Ex's and the Ex's lawyer. My son is presently looking to hire a private attorney.

He was honest and did not leave me with an inflated and unrealistic expectation. He fought hard for me and never gave me bad advice. As long as I followed his advice, my case turned out better than I had hoped for. Always professional, and he took the time to explain the issues patiently until I u...nderstood it. I never felt rushed or unimportant.. I will always go to him for any legal matter I may have in the future.
