Posted by Zack | January 25, 2023 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Knows UIFSA. Helped me, a military service member.

Throughout 2020 to present Michael Bertin has given me the dignity and peace of mind a divorced parent deserves. His consultations and representation have always been empathetic, understanding, professional, and 100% effective for mine and my children’s needs. I was enlisted active duty military an...d found Michael via the American Association of Matrimonial Lawyers. Michael is serious in his service and is there for you.

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.
