Michael Kevin Rathel

I hired this Attorney not knowing how to shop for one. He was the first Attorney I spoke to and hired. He was not helpful at all once he was hired I spoke to his assistant for the majority of my case. He is not a trial Attorney although he promotes that he is. With the help of this Attorney I lost a... lot more than a year of my life but the aftermath of my case is what hurt me the most. I don't know how he can sleep at night I was clear from the very beginning that this would be going to trial. He then wrote a withdraw from my case to the Judge and was granted the with draw with no notice to me. He withdrew because he wanted more money, his reason to the courts was "I was not cooperating" of course not he wanted me to accept a plea. I cant' even continue it still hurts what he did.

I hired this lawyer for my divorce case. I would highly recommend him to anyone who asked. This was a case that I needed completed fast with as little problems as possible. My wife and I wanted the divorce and just needed someone who could get it done with as little problems as possible. The Rathel ...Law Group was able to help us go through all the issues of child support and time sharing with our son. This is the firm to go to if you need help with a divorce. Thank you Mike Rathel!

THIS WAS THE WORST EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD WITH A LAWYER IN MY LIFE. I WENT INTO HIS OFFICE THE DAY AFTER MY EX-WIFE TOOK OUR SON AND RAN TO GA. I EXPLAINED TO RATHEL THAT THERE IS NO PROPERTY TO DIVIDE THE ONLY THING WE WOULD DISAGREE ON IS OUR 3 YR OLD SON. RATHEL TOLD ME NOT WORRY HE COULD HELP... ME. HE TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD BE $2500 TO RETAIN HIM. ONCE I PAID THE $2500 AND AFTER OUR FIRST HEARING THAT HE DID NOT EVEN ATTEND (SENT AN ASSOCIATE) HE CALLS ME AND SAYS I NEED YOU TO COME TO MY OFFICE WHEN I ARRIVE HE TELLS ME I DID NOT REALIZE THIS A CONTESTED DIVORCE IT WILL BE ANOTHER $2500. I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT I DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO PAY HIM OR FIND AN HONEST LAWYER I WISH I HAD GOTTEN A NEW LAWYER I PAID THE ADDITIONAL $2500 AND STILL GOT SCREWD. HE WITHDREW FROM MY CASE LEAVING ME TO ATTEND THE MEDIATION BY MYSELF AND THEN I FOUND OUT THAT I HAD TO PAY CHILD SUPPORT AND BACK CHILD SUPPORT ALL THO WE HAD 50/50 PARENTING PALN AND I HAD TO PAY HER LAWYER. AVOID RATHEL AT ALL COST.
