Michael David Fender

Mr Fender was hired to perform legal services, counsel and guidance in helping resolve divorce issues over an extended period of time. I had looked to him to help minimize the impact of many poor decisions made due to lack of knowledge and earlier counsel. Over time, Mr. Fender became detached, unres...ponsive, unprofessional and as a result, made the situation much worse because it did not get addressed in a timely manner. Instead, am still dealing with issues after years of "trying to do the right thing". No idea what has happened to him as his email addressed are no longer valid and he stopped responding to all attempts to communicate. Would not recommend hiring Mr. Fender in ANY capacity.

He made no effort on my case at all. No paperwork filed. He does not return email or phone calls. He was late for court. He didn't pass on to me requests that were made by opposing counsel (for which I was fined). I gave him many pages of documents relating to my case that he never looked at bef...ore going to court. He asked me in court what he should ask. No statements or billing records provided.

Beware of Mr.Fender. He put forth no effort on my divorce and charged me for a trial that never happened. He did not submit closing paperwork twice which ended up costing me an extra $1000 in compensation to my ex-wife. He does not provide any receipts or statements of work. He does not return emails... or phone calls.

I was initially reluctant to involve an attorney in my divorce until I consulted with Mike. He made feel comfortable, and explained the process to me. He walked me through every step with my divorce paperwork as well as always promptly answering all my "dumb" questions along the way. He then assiste...d me in mediation and helped me to reach a very favorable settlement. I would 100% recommend Mike and his practice to anyone needing an honest, down to earth attorney.
