Very Rude, Arrogant, and Unprofessional!

I had a very disappointing experience with this lawyer. From the beginning of our conversation, his rude and dismissive tone was immediately apparent. During our initial consultation, he barely allowed me to speak and quickly made assumptions about my case without taking the time to listen to the det...ails I was trying to share. He briefly stated that I would likely be dismissed from the case if I proceeded with him and abruptly asked whether I wanted to represent myself, which he said would likely result in me having to pay the lawsuit, or have him represent me, without offering any explanation of the associated costs. When I decided to proceed with his services, he asked for my credit card information right away. I kindly explained that, due to the increasing number of scams, I would prefer to receive something in writing before moving forward. At that point, he hung up the phone. When I called back, he claimed the call had been disconnected but then told me he would no longer be taking my case. I should have read the reviews before contacting him, as I later found several that described similar experiences to mine. Overall, the interaction was extremely unprofessional and lacked even the most basic level of customer service. I would not recommend this lawyer based on my experience.

Debt charges cleared!

This was such an easy interaction and I thank Michael for handling my case so diligently. He really meant it when he stated I would not have to worry about anything nor will I need to step in court. Prior to hiring Michael I was shopping around for different lawyers and was informed that for my debt ...case they would be able to get it reduced by 50% which meant I would still have to pay them their fee AND the litigation fees as well. Michael informed he has decades of experience and knew the route to take to get those charges dismissed completely. I am so grateful for the support provided and would 100 percent encourage others to look into his services.

Very impressive from the beginning until the end. I highly recommend this attorney he was quick and very professional. His secretary is also very polite.

Competence and Compassion Matters

In my legal matter, I was flooded daily advertising from many attorneys. My first course of action was to pray and ask God to help me choose the right legal representation. That was important to me because I was being sued and had no way of paying what I was being sued for. This situation amplifie...d my stress. My first choice was a simple distinguished cardlike letter that was very candid and forthcoming of what to expect from attorney Michael Tierney. He spoke with confidence and delivered with a dismissal of my case. He showed compassion in taking the time to listen and advise me on my current situation. Thank you Sir and all Glory to God.

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.
