review

I needed legal help to implement involuntary treatment for mental health issues for my son. Mr. Michael Rabideau was recommended to us by people who were satisfied with his services. Mr. Rabideau was very knowledgeable of the circumstances we were dealing with. His patience, listening skills and empa...thy helped us through this difficult time. He prepared questionaries regarding our son's present condition and past, that gave him a clear picture of the prevailing situation. He took swift action, surprising us, by accomplishing to meet all legal required paperwork within 24 hours, implementing the Marchman act without wasting a day. We are thankful to him and wish him the best for the future, where he will be assisting many people who will need services of an efficient attorney. Mrs. Abbas

A true servant!

When I woke up this morning, it was different. I felt like a new man inside, and I want to thank you for that. I never spoke a word as I stood by you. You stood in my defense like a warrior in my eyes, and where I was pathetically weak, you were a Titan. Thanks again for standing up for me. You are ...a true brother in Christ!

Fights for you

Mr. Rabideau is wonderful! He got me out of a sticky situation and kept me out of the court room! He is excellent with communicating with you every step of the way before and after your case is finished. He genuinely cares about his client.
