The Very Best in Legal Counsel

Mike Lundy is an extremely competent and professional attorney. I would highly recommend him to those seeking the very best in legal counsel. He is an exceptional attorney with amazing skills. He is polished, articulate, well prepared, confident, understands complex financial matters and is very well... respected among his peers and the judges. Mike is also very responsive and answered all my emails and phone calls in a timely manner. My case was a divorce modification case brought about by my ex-husband. Mike Lundy was not the attorney I used in my original divorce, but how I wish I had! My life would be entirely different. The most important decision anyone makes in a divorce is the choice of counsel. Choose wisely, because there are no do overs! I made a wise decision in selecting Mike Lundy to represent me during this tumultuous time. My case was contentious and long and unfortunately could not be settled outside the courtroom. Mike has amazing skills in the courtroom. His arguments are well prepared, concise and he is an exceptional strategist. I would strongly recommend him to anyone in need of the very best in legal representation. You will not be disappointed.

Brilliant, Exceptional Lawyer on ALL levels!

From the moment I met Michael, he was very thorough in explaining the specific details of what I could expect in my divorce case all the way to the day I finally got divorced. He was an excellent listener and was compassionate throughout the entire 2 years of my divorce. He was very kind, caring,... personable and had an authentic interest in all the specifics of my life/case and continued to provide me with excellent advice every step of the way. His courtroom skills were top notch; he was extremely prepared, eloquent, confident, sharp, professional in every way as he presented my case in the courtroom. He was very responsive to every email, phone call and question I had was respectful of the time we spent working together. His team was consistently on top of the smaller details and also had a very compassionate professional manner while handling my case. Michael is unique and unlike most lawyers....he cares about his clients and demonstrates this in his client attorney relationship and in the courtroom.

Exceptional Attorney!

Mike is an incredible attorney with amazing skills in the court room and behind the scenes. I have worked with Mike on my case for a few years, and he has always been a champion for me and my family. He is an exceptional strategist, understands financial matters, is responsive and provides no-nonse...nse advice. Divorce and its aftermath can be devastating (especially when children are involved). I am grateful I had an attorney like Mike to help me through the process.

Excellent Attorney Excellent Team of Professionals

I met with a few divorce attorneys before a friend recommended Michael Lundy. Unlike the other attorneys I met with, Michael made me feel like he cared about me, my family, and my future. During our first meeting, he took the time to explain different divorce options and what I should expect from e...ach. When the time came to file for the divorce, Michael and his colleague, Jessica Felix, guided me through each step of the divorce process. My divorce was contentious and long. Michael and Jessica tried to avoid the cost and stress of a trial with mediation and settlement. However, neither method produced a fair settlement for me so we prepared for trial. With every matter that arose throughout the divorce, Michael and his team handled it promptly, professionally, and with integrity. When an issue arose that required swift action because of a closing date, Michael worked through the evening with opposing counsel to come up with an equitable solution to the matter. He did the same for days following up to my trial date. He tried to negotiate a fair settlement which we ultimately reached the day of trial at the courthouse. I trusted that he always had my best interest at heart. Michael and his team’s exceptional knowledge of the law and finances, along with their compassion and concern for my future made me feel that I had the best representation during one of the most stressful times of my life. I would highly recommend Michael Lundy and his firm to anyone who needs legal assistance with a divorce.

Phenomenal Attorney

I consulted with several attorneys before meeting Mike Lundy and when I did, there was no question who I felt most comfortable representing me. During a particularly sensitive time, Mike had an unmatched ability to put me at ease with his unwavering confidence, reassurance, integrity, easy-going natu...re and ability to empathize and understand all perspectives of the situation. He was the first attorney I met with who took the time to explain how things worked and what to expect. At every junction, I trusted that he cared and was looking out for my child’s best interest. I truly felt like he had a sixth sense when it came to making decisions regarding my case, — between his superb legal acumen and shrewd foresight, he determined the best possible route for my particular situation. I’m happy to say that we were able to settle outside of the courts and are now in a well-adjusted co-parenting plan. Hiring Mike and his team was absolutely the smartest decision I’ve ever made and I would recommend him in a heartbeat.
