Terrible experience, just trying to make more money off you!

Michael was very knowledgeable and he formulated an attack plan to beat my traffic ticket. He had me take two separate courses, one online and one in person to help with show that I was being proactive and understood my mistake. When I went to court, Michael did not show up and sent someone else in h...is place (he never told me he would not be there in person). This other lawyer he sent was incompetent and did not advise me at all before we went to trial or during for that matter. He was completely silent and let the DA go at me. We ended up losing obviously with no reduction and then we talked about an appeal. I would have opted for the appeal but Michael wanted $500 more for the appeal process. So in all he wanted me to pay approx. $350 for his services +$100 for the two courses I took and then another +$500 for the appeal process. This seems like a ridiculous amount of money to pay to get out of a speeding ticket that while steep, would not take away my license. If he had come to court like I he said he would, we might have just won right there, but it almost seemed like a tactic to let it go to appeal and garner more money from his clients. Very bad experience where I wasted a bunch of time and money for the same outcome . Hell I probably could have gotten it lowered a little if I just went myself, but they opted to try to wipe it out completely.

Would Not Recommend

10/10 would NOT RECOMMEND. Go find a better and cheaper lawyer. I paid Michael's higher rates for superior service, but ended up getting worse service than any other traffic lawyer I have used in the past and my previous lawyers were cheaper for similar cases! Michael was very helpful at first and... even up until I made the initial deposit to represent me in my speeding case. Upon completing my case he become unresponsive in sending me the follow up plea deal to sign and take to town hall and pay my fines. On our phone call where he debriefed me regarding the verdict, he said he would send over my plea deal (this was a Wednesday). By Thursday I still hadn't received the email so I texted him- no reply. Friday I texted him again with no response. Mind you, I only have 2 weeks from that phone call Wednesday to pay the fines. Monday comes around and I still haven't heard back from my 2 previous messages, so I text him again.... much later in the day he has his paralegal email me my plea deal. Not the service you expect when you pay $450 for a 1 day in and out trial. With direction from his email I made a money order out to the town hall in x amount of dollars. Upon arriving to town hall I was notified that the amount on my money order (which is what Michael's email said I owed) was incorrect. He told me to pay an amount nearly $50 more than what I actually owed. In addition to this incorrect fee he told me to make ANOTHER money order for $5 to get an "official copy" for my records, which the town clerk told me was not needed, it was in fact free. This is after Michael assured me he has worked in this municipality repeatedly. How can he work there repeatedly, yet not know the official record is free? Sounds like he was blowing smoke when I hired him acting like he works cases there a lot to make me feel more comfortable and use his services. To make this all the more better, my money orders were already addressed to this town hall upon arrival per Michael's instructions, which means now I get to talk to moneygram's delightful international customer support outsourced to god knows what country to get my refund. Now I am out my nearly $300 Michael had me put in a money order until they can refund me in 7-10 business days, on top of already paying the $250 in fines on my card because the money order was the wrong amount. At the end of the day Michael was more money than most other lawyers quoted me, yet he achieved the same results the other lawyers promised, while being unresponsive and screwing me out of $300 until I can get a refund from moneygram. Thank you for your services Michael, but I will not be using them again in the future.

Replied last February 23, 2020

I take your comments very seriously. I did obtain an excellent result on your behalf due to my superior negotiation skills. While I do recognize that my three (3) day lag in communication following our most recent telephone conversation did cause you angst, I will endeavor to make certain that such time lags in communication do not happen in the future in my law practice. I do apologize for any inconvenience caused by you having to deal with Moneygram. However, I take personal offense of your accusation that I “screwed” you out of three hundred dollars, which is a lie, and simply did not happen.

DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN

We hired Michael Greenberg to defend my son, who received 4 tickets all at once. It was a first time offense and just a series of unfortunate instances. My son's ticket speed did not even match the speed the officer reported. He told me to put a packet together exemplifying all the wonderful things m...y son had done...community service, school records, etc. I did this but I do not even think the judge looked at it. This attorney made a horrible deal with the prosecutor resulting in my son getting a 15 day suspension. I could have made a better, or at least the same deal, myself with the prosecutor. Do not waste your money. These reviews cannot be true. He did not even bring up the error on the ticket and he just told my son to keep saying, "I'm sorry, it was a mistake" while he stood there without even saying one word to defend him. Horrible lawyer, horrible presentation. I was embarrassed by his attire and he looked completely unprofessional, like something out of a bad movie. Do not recommend at all.
