Michael Kevin Rathel

I hired this guy over a year ago for a simple uncontested divorce. After 10months he decided mediation was the answer. Another $2500. I gave $1000 with the remaining in 30days. Mr. Rathel decided he did not want to go to mediation and withdrew from the case before I could make final payment. He had... his phone person leave a message for me while I was working that he needed $1500. in 12hrs or he was withdrawing. Meanwhile he had already notified the wife's attorney that he withdrew from the "SIMPLE DIVORCE". This guy is the ultimate LOSER. He is an embarrassment to his children.

I used Michael Rathel as my divorce attorney as his fees were slightly less for uncontested divorces ($2500). He ill advised me on multiple occasions on what should be done after I told him I trusted him to make the right decisions. He later would say well you told me to handle it that way. He stated... on multiple occasions he was going to drop by my case unless I paid the additional $2500 for contested divorce when the divorce was still uncontested! Stay clear of this attorney! Do yourself a favor and hire an attorney that has some knowlege of divorce cases...
