Not recommended.

He represented me on a case. He did the bare minimum and maybe not even that. He never seemed to care. His voice mail was always full. The only thing he really wanted to do was take my money. His office is conveniently located, but there are other lawyers on the same street. You should call them.

Divorce

Would never call you back. Charges for information that I gave him myself, says and promises one thing and never does anything, if you ask him a question he wants to argue with you. Still waiting on divorce it’s been going on two years. Very unprofessional. Will not listen to my needs. Every time I c...all voicemail it’s full. It’s been weeks since I last spoke to him I have not heard anything, he was so post to send a proposal for my divorce. Was told 7,000 for divorce last time he throwed a number at me it was 20,000. He has did know work. I have ask for a itemized statement he says sure. That was a year ago, I have not received. Very disappointed with him. I am afraid he is going to get me screwed over in this divorce. Please pray for me.

Borderline incompetent

My divorce was drawn out for over 3 years at which point amongst him advising me to not take an amazing deal with my ex after 2 months ( which I headed his advisement) I had to fire him and make a deal with ex's attorney to settle because 2 weeks before our trial ( because he drug it on for so long )... , he at that time had just subpoenaed her financial records. 3 YEARS!!!!!?????? Anyone could hide money with that much time before a subpoena. To many things to name but all verified by documentations this guy shouldn't be trusted with anyones divorce. Lazy and incompetent is being kind.

great lawyer

Mike dealt with a bitter divorce. I got told what was to be expected and what would be the probable outcome and what he said was the way it turned out.Although at the time it might not be what you want to hear, he told the truth and was as honest as he could be all the way along. His staff were alwa...ys there to help, friendly and efficient which has a nice calming affect on what i found a "nerve racking" experience, but by the time i walked out of the office, i was a lot happier than when i went in. If youre looking for an honest lawyer then hes a great lawyer to hire, and id recommend him to anyone who needs a lawyer.

A true lawyer and legal expert

Michael will not only provide you with top notch legal services, he will give you the responses and trustworthiness anyone may need in a stressful time such as this. I hired him from another person's referral. the specifics of my case involved a 2nd DUI charge. Michael filed many motions challenging ...many aspects of the case. Ultimately, my case was acquitted. He also won my administrative hearing for me which allowed me to have my license for the duration of the process. He is patient, reliable, honest, intelligent, good with communication and professional in the courtroom. I would highly recommend him.
