Excellent Lawyer - Ignore Negative Review Below

As an employee at the palm beach courthouse I have had the pleasure of working with Mike and his staff for several years now. He has a strong record, is professional and is respected. My younger brother hired him for his divorce in 2009 and was very pleased with him. He was so please he recommended h...im to a coworker who hired him too and also got great results with unpaid child support. Mike is honest and hardworking. The anonymous negative review below was posted and openly bragged about during work hours by a clerk office employee who is a loose canon and totally nuts. She is obsessed with her divorce, destroying her ex and has now promised to destroy Mike's solid reputation online and with anyone who comes up to the window. She is a bad hire who cheats the county and taxpayers by abusing her access to court databases and treats herself to countless free copies of legal documents on her divorce and stuff for friends. She used to praise Mike and spend every second she had on the phone with his office. Use to say her ex was going to pay her fees so she didn't care. Now Mike is a zero even though he won it all for her. Below she even posted a very positive review for Mike in 2013 on this very site. Please understand this is the work of a total lunatic. Mike is a pro. Hire him and never look back. He will protect you and make sure what is right happens.

WIFE TOOK MY SON

I hired Mr. Dyer because my Husband took my son to Georgia without my consent. Mr. Dyer quickly filed the Divorce and requested the return of my son. The legal process is slow, but Mr. Dyer acted immediately. It was a long fight with the Courts because the Judge did not first want to requir...e him to return. He kept violating the Order and each time, Mr. Dyer filed another Motion finding him in Contempt. He hired an attorney in West Palm Beach, who couldn't handle Mr. Dyer because of his experience and knowledge of the law. Eventually, the Court entered an Order for the return of my son, and he has been living here since. My husband is out of the picture (I'm not complaining). Even the Judge complimented Mr. Dyer on his preparedness, and organization. Mr. Dyer gave me his cell phone and I could text him for questions and he would always respond. The case was very emotional and stressful. I would recommend Mr. Dyer as a lawyer because he is THE BEST LAWYER IN PALM BEACH. I even invited him to my son's birthday party. It was nice to introduce my son to the person who got him returned.

Amazing!!!

Mike was amazing during my divorce. He got me permanent alimony, majority timesharing, and found a ton of assets that my Ex-husband was trying to hide! Which increased my alimony and child support. He was very aggressive, while at the same time, making sure I understood the process, and helping me th...rough. And his staff was amazing too. You couldn't ask for a better lawyer.

Horrible Situation, Great Experience

Mike handled my divorce from beginning to end. He listened to my concerns, and was there for me every step. When it came to going to court, I felt fully prepared and he was on top of his game. He fought for my rights and got me alimony, child support and majority time sharing. His staff was also very... friendly, helpful, and informative. For something in life that is so difficult, I had a great experience with Mike.

A little luck and a damn good lawyer

After getting home from work and finding my wife had left with my kids I was lost. I googled attorneys and Mike's name was the first to show up. From the beginning Mike was ready to fight for me. My ex's attorney was unethical and milked her for all he could. Mike listened to all of my concerns b...ut always kept me level headed. And I can't say enough about Mandi and Morgan!!! They both rock and Mandi was always available and helpful. I tried settling with my ex, went thru mediation twice and ended up going to trial. Mike kicked ass!! My ex is paying me child support now and we won on all issues!! Trust this guy and he'll take care of you.

"I endorse this lawyer. Michael and I had the opportunity to be on opposite sides of a very emotional custody case. As with most cases, things can get quite acrimonious, especially in trial.

Sample of Legal Cases

Dissolution of Marriage and relocation

We prevailed in Court and the Husband's request was denied and he was awarded timesharing basically every other weekend

Paternity

The Court granted our Motion and the Mother had the right to pick up the child immediately after Court. The other side had to pay her attorney fees

Husband Rights

We were able to get 50-50 custody of the children and the the Wife's income was imputed to be $45,000, which made the Husband's child support nearly nothing.

Has his own business

The Husband got hammered in Temporary Relief and settled the case shortly thereafter

Child custody litigation

I won the case for my client and the court repremanded the Husband for his actions and threatened to stop all contact with his child if he didnt stop. My client is now living in peace because he has stopped
