Awful Attorney

Worst attorney EVER. Never responds, unorganized, and once he has your money he’s done with you. BEWARE. Find another attorney who will advocate for you and put your best interests first!

DO NOT USE THIS ATTORNEY

Please do your research. Mr. Coyle was the absolute worst regarding communication. Did not follow up as promised. Only cared about the almighty dollar. My family and I paid the price, in more than ways than we could have ever imagined. We are devastated.

Would not recommend!!!

Our experiences with Mr. Coyle have also been terrible! We would be negligent if we did not let everyone know our experience. Mr. Coyle is extremely disorganized, clearly displayed a lack of understanding or a desire to educate himself on the details of our case, and as a result he failed miserably... at representing us. It took years for us to finally reach a position and it cost our family dearly. We are conveying our dissatisfaction with Mr. Coyle on this platform to help others looking to retain sound legal representation. We hope that nobody else suffers from his unprofessional representation after paying hard-earned money only to ending up in a far worse position. Do your research, you are already in a bad situation. You are looking to your attorney for support and guidance, one that is there to help you navigate this difficult process.

Wells Fargo

Mr. Coyle did an excellent job dealing with my case. I was very pleased with his ability to represent me during the turmoil with wells fargo. The bank would stall and make excuses about paperwork not being sent and so forth; however, Mr. Coyle was able to represent me without filing bankruptcy and ...remedy said situation. If you have a need for a good lawyer please contact Mr. Coyle. If he is unable to help you directly he can certainly assist you in taking the correct course of action.

Horrible!

Our experiences with Mr. Coyle have been terrible! We would be negligent if we did not let everyone know which is the reason for this review. Mr. Coyle has consistently been extremely disorganized, clearly displayed a lack of understanding or desire to educate himself on the details or simply learn... our case, and he therefore failed miserably at legally and ethically representing us. We are conveying our personal and profession experiences as well as our huge dissatisfaction with Mr Coyle on this platform in order to help others as they are looking to engage proper and affective legal representation. We are describing our experiences alone and hope that nobody else goes through the horrible process we have. We Paid Mr. Coyle a lot of our hard earned money and we are in a far worse position so we must sue him to recover our money and damages. Please ask to personally speak to several referrals before hiring anyone especially Mr. Coyle. And do thorough research before signing an engagement contract! Hiring legal representation is a very serious matter as well as a life changing event so you need to have someone who cares and doesn’t just want to take your money with no regard for you and your family or how your case turns out.

Chapter 7 bankruptcy lawyer | Sep 17

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Mike is a very good lawyer. What separates Mike from many bankruptcy lawyers is a willingness to litigate his cases. The simple fact is that most bankruptcy lawyers process paperwork for their clients in a robotic fashion. Mike is different. He thinks about his cases from a litigator's point of view and then finds the appropriate bankruptcy remedy. I absolutely recommend Mike to anyone that needs bankruptcy help."
