I have worked closely with Michael on dozens of family law cases, and I highly recommend him. His attention to detail is impressive, but he also helps his clients see the big picture and plan the best strategy. He focuses on resolving problems and treats his clients like family.

Michael is an extremely professional, dedicated and effective lawyer. He is a patient and understanding advocate, who does his best to effectively represent his client and obtain the desired outcome for them. Michael's experience allows him to see issues that other, less experienced attorneys might ignore. I highly recommend him in the areas of Divorce and Family Law.

Michael has been a welcomed addition to the team. He has wisdom beyond his 35 + years of experience. He approaches every case with the same level of zeal balanced by compassion. He has the experience and legal knowledge to handle any case, big or small. He has the energy and strategic thinking to jump into the middle of a mess to figure out what to do to help the client. He will then properly advise the client on whether to settle or pursue a trial, all the while cognizant of their emotional state and how they may process his advice. When he came on board, he helped my case load by instantly taking over several cases. He was able to process the cases and come up with a winning game plan for the clients. I endorse this lawyer.
Robert Tharp, Divorce and separation Attorney on May 22, 2015
Relationship: Supervised lawyer
It has been a pleasure to get to know Michael since he joined our firm. He has over thirty years of divorce experience. He communicates with his clients in a manner that helps them to understand the divorce process. He maintains a balanced approach to litigation, perfectly blending a level headed approach to amicably problem solving their matters through negotiation when possible and defending their rights and interest in court when necessary. It is my pleasure to endorse this attorney.
