Posted by Rebekah Holonia-Barrus | December 28, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Highly Recommended

Mr. May took my custody case back in 2013. We reached a final order in the summer of 2015. We had many hurdles to jump over and Mr. May didn't even seem to flinch. He is very thorough and makes sure you understand what is going on step by step and also that you are heard. In August of 2015, a wrench ...was thrown in the pot and petitions started appearing in PA where the other party is residing. If it weren't for Mr. May's hard work and dedication to my case, the lawyer in PA would have had to start at square one and cost me thousands of more dollars! Mr. May even emailed me on the way to vacation to inform me that an answer came in from a judge that we were waiting on! I was very impressed by that, due to the fact that he has paralegals that could have contacted me on his behalf. If I ever had to recommend a lawyer in DE, Mitch May would be the guy!!

Custody Lawyer

Mitch helped me with my custody battle. He was very upfront and honest with me about the custody process. He explained things in way that I could understand. He was able to negotiate an agreement that made all parties involved very happy. I would recommend him to anyone and will definitely use h...im in the future.

Everything I Needed in an Attorney

Mitch was everything I needed in an attorney. He handled everything for me and got the result I was looking for. He knows his stuff. I would recommend him in a heart beat to anyone needing an attorney.

Great guy, lackadaisical lawyer

During a very bizarre custody disagreement I hired Mitch. He made me feel secure in my case and confidant that I was doing the right thing. As time got nearer to the case he became lax in communication and even nonchalant when I was concerned we were not being "zealous" enough. I basically put myself... in a heap of debt to pay Mitch and didn't even stand a chance in court. My advice: find a lawyer who is passionate about you and your case, not your checkbook.

Fantastic Divorce Attorney

Mr. May is a fantastic divorce attorney! He is very compassionate and caring. He always treats me with respect and never talks down to me. He takes the time to explain things to me. The staff at May & Perza are always extremely helpful and caring as well. I would absolutely recommend Mitchell Ma...y to anyone and everyone looking for a family law attorney.

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.
