Don't waste your time or Money $$$

Initially when I met Mr. Dyer he gave me the impression that he was very confident that he could help me with my modification of alimony and child support. Unfortunately, as the months went on it became evident that Mr. Dyer did not have my best interests in mind and was only interested in keeping m...y case going so as to continue collecting retainer money from me. In reality he prepared a financial affidavit that was incorrect and had me sign for it. After I realized the validity of the affidavit and questioned him on it, I brought to his attention if he knew and understood on how my income was being reported, I also asked him why he had not requested or filed a motion to obtain full financials from the other party. He called me one evening around 8:45 pm out of no where asking, if I was gonna pay my bill. He claimed that I did not pay him on time. Which is not true because when he called me that eve I gave him a list of grievances on the work he had done for me thus far. Before we hung up the phone I told him I was willing to pay him, but I had limited resources to finish out my case and I needed him to correct my affidavit and get me into court as soon as possible. I told him I would get back to him the next morning to see If he wanted to make the corrections needed. Before I could even call him back at 9 a.m. He filed a motion that morning before business open in order to have himself removed as my attorney. He did not even give me a chance to respond to him whether I wanted to continue with him as my council or not. I fully believe that once I mentioned that I had limited resources to finish my case was probably his determining factor. The fact that my new attorney whom was retained to handle my matter. Has accomplished more in my case in less than half the time and at a third of the cost. Is a testament to how Mr. Dyer is running his practice.

Thank you soooo much

Mr. Dyer did a great job representing me and making my Husband pay child support, and alimony. My Husband is a very charming person, but Mr. Dyer saw him for who he really is inside. Thank you for all of your hard work, and i would recommend Mr. Dyer to anyone who has a difficult Husband

My Savior

Mr. Dyer helped me when my Husband only offered me $2000 a month in alimony. Without Mr. Dyer, my Husband would have been able to leave me without an consequences. At the conclusion of trial, i was awarded $8000 in permanent alimony plus child support. My Husband even tried to reconcile because ...of the skill and knowledge Mr. Dyer argued while representing me

Best Lawyer in Town

I hired Mr Dyer because he cane highly recommended by my friend. My Husband is a general contractor and works under the table. After 22 years of marriage, he cheated on me and wanted to get rid of me. Mr Dyer made sure that even though the marriage was over, his obligation was not. The entire m...arriage my Husband has been telling me he’s broke, but after we went through his finances, we discovered he was lying to me the whole time. My Husband even tried to get back together. I don’t know what I would have done without Mr Dyers help !!!!

Agressive lawyer

When I hired Mr. Dyer I was in a bad situation. My husband is self-employed and most of his income is cash. Mr. Dyer and his team diligently worked to prove his cash income and I received child support and permanent alimony. We also uncovered is hidden account and Was able to stay in the marital hom...e. I’m am so lucky to have hired Mr Dyer and I recommend him to anyone who is getting a divorce

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"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. It was a true pleasure to go against a fellow attorney who was nothing but professional. They are a rare breed, and Michael stands out of a true credit to our profession."

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
