Clueless/ Ruthless/ Mediocre

The few months Mr. Bass represented me were signed by uncertainty, mediocrity and intimidation towards me. Until I interviewed 1/2 a dozen of other family lawyers to validate the quality of his work. The answers were: 1) negative feedback from colleagues though body language and 2) "Is He a divorce... lawyer?". His works consist of billing too many hours, talk a lot, achieve nothing or very little. Then upon firing him and offered a more than generous final payment for all the damages caused and omissions during representation, he did not like the fact of being out of the party, and began a battery of lawsuits first in a county (he lost all of them including appeals). Then he filed a new lawsuit in another county, which he will not be able to get anything but nuisances to me and he will have to pay fees to the attorney representing him; as I have filed for bankruptcy. He has some investigations performed by The Florida Bar, I guess not for being a good lawyer or displaying good work ethics and integrity. Do you want a similar story like this? I guess not. Consult other attorneys instead

lack of professional skills

If this system would allow me to place a “minus ten” (-10), I sure would. Unless you’re looking to obtain a HEART ATTACK or start to constantly chew your nails, “ DON'T ” depend on Michael R Bass. His communications skills is extremely poor. Emails were hardly answered and getting a return call is li...ke pulling a tooth from a new born. Above it all, he missed “court appearances”. Due to his lack of filling time and incompetent, I lost my child and ended up with a judgment that almost put me in jail. After taking matters in my on hands, I came to find out it all could have been done fairly easy and everything could have been solved much sooner instead of wasting money and time (one and half year=18 months) to start all over again. After hiring a new attorney, I now have my son back and my judgment was dropped in less than one (1) month. Unable to count own your attorney is like swimming in a pawn infested with alligators believing they will protect you.

His work is a joke, not his bill

I retained Mikey Bass few years ago to help me with my HOA case. He was lost most of the time and talked to me a lot with no substance or apparent knowledge. Opposing counsel did laugh at him. He should consider changing careers, as it seems that his work was also sub standard in cases of family law.... Be aware of that lawyer and don't believe his promises

Mediocre work

The quality of the legal work performed by Mr. Bass is aligned with his height. His work on my case was mediocre. I don't understand why a 20+ years experience divorce lawyer performs such a poor work.

BASS WILL NOT LOOK AFTER YOUR BEST INTEREST

BASS TOOK MY FAMILY CASE, AND IT WAS A DISASTER. ON MULTIPLE OPPORTUNITIES UNTIL FIRING HIM, HE DEMONSTRATED HE WILL ONLY LOOK AFTER HIS INTEREST, BUT NEVER AT HIS CLIENTS'. DON'T BE FOOLED AT A LOWER RETAINER/ PER HOUR FEE. HE WORKS SLOW AND BILLS TOO MANY HOURS FOR A WORK A NORMAL LAWYER WILL BILL ...HALF. HE PRODUCED NO RESULTS. HE WAS ARROGANT TOWARDS ME MOST OF THE TIME.
