Mike was my first call when trying to get information about bankruptcy. I had so many questions and he was able to answer every single one of them. He was very patient with me and very prompt with getting back when he said he would. Unfortunately, I lived just outside of his area. After all the time he spent reviewing my information and answering my thousand questions, he could not represent me but still went above and beyond to find me someone that could. He is extremely genuine and very reliable. If anyone is looking for someone that actually cares, please make him your first call!
Michael is an excellent attorney! His professionalism and knowledge seep through the phone immediately! Michael was responsive and called me back within an hour. Additionally, Michael did not cut me off and patiently listened to my concerns. I was blown away because most of my encounters with attorneys have been less than pleasant and he definitely made me feel calm and comfortable discussing such personal matters. I would recommend him to ALL because attorneys with his mannerisms are hard to find! Overall, he was just a pleasure to speak with and he is going to give you his honest opinion. Some attorneys will just take your money but he is about doing what is best for your situation even if that means he does not get a penny from you!! Lastly, Mike is really knowledgeable and detail-oriented. Hire him!!!

Michael really helped us (my husband and I) get through a very difficult bankruptcy and its many challenges we faced throughout the case. We had a couple of bad times where we couldn't make payments and he understood, counsel us and help us get back to where we drop off. He didn't abandon us or even allow our case to close. He fought for us in the court and encourage us not to give up. I don't think my husband and I could have finish our case without his help. He is an awesome lawyer who stands by his customers and will do his best to help customer throughout the bankruptcy process (from beginning to end). Thanks for everything Mike! You're the best!
