Divorce

I contacted Michael about a divorce and he answered immediately and was very helpful. The difference with attorney DeCanio is that he makes your case a priority and shows he really cares. Scheduled the meeting the next day without a problem and he was very professional and knowledgeable. He would res...pond to emails at nearly any time and goes beyond what is expected from most lawyers. He kept me informed of each detail of my case and didn't delay like most attorneys. I highly recommend hiring Michael you will not be disappointed!

Domestic Violence

I had not seen my baby girl in over 2 months and my child’s mother filed for an injunction against me which was completely false. Thankfully I was referred to Mike and it was the best decision I had made. He was by my side the whole way. For one he is honest with you and always returns your calls and... emails within a day. He was dedicated to the case and really knowledgeable of the law. I would hire Mike again!

Paternity and Time-Sharing

After 2 other lawyers that failed to really help me, thanks to Mike, I am finally reunited with my baby girl nearly 2 years later. Mike is one of the few lawyers who you feel that you can trust. Quick to respond and very reasonable in cost and billing. If anyone is looking for a lawyer who is trustw...orthy and dedicated then mike is the lawyer.

After 2 years, Michael has brought peace and serenity to my family and I.

After enduring a stroke and my wife abandoning me, Michael was there every step of the way as I went through a very difficult divorce. He was very easy to contact and assured me he would look out for my best interests. Michael went well beyond what any other lawyer would do. He always kept me informe...d about the progression of the case and was exceptionally prompt in returning calls and e-mails. No matter what time, he would be there to reassure me and help me ease the stress. He is a vigilant individual and focuses on finding solutions to problems. Michael was not only a lawyer, but a counselor throughout one of the toughest times of my life.

A breath of fresh air......

After going through 4 different lawyers who all wasted my time and tried stealing my money, I found Michael through a friend. He is very knowledgeable about the law, and if he does not know the answer he will find one out. He is flexible in his approach to problems, and is a true problem solver. ...I wish I had found Michael 4 lawyers ago, but that's not how it worked out. Michael was able to successfully help me establish paternity and time-sharing after a 3 year long petition for modification for my child support amount. He is still working on settling my arrearages for me, but it is still a testament to his expertise in law. Michael has a great mentor, and has always been open to my ideas about my case as well. I would recommend him to any and everyone going through a family dispute of any sort.
