Totally rip off. He is a fraud.

Michael Bo took our money and never did anything to help us. I was wrongfully let go by the company for health issues and this attorney promised alot and did nothing for me. He doesn't answer my emails or calls. He is a totally con artist.

Incompetent. Unprofessional. Unresponsive.

DO NOT under any circumstances hire this attorney! I wish I had read the other reviews before I did. If you had several attorneys tell you that you do not have a case, chances are you don't. I kept searching until I came across Mr. Michael. He was willing to consult me in person. When he did I presen...ted what I thought my employer should be sued for. He instead suggested I had a discrimination case even though I disagreed he explained why I would get so much more money than what I was seeking. Unfortunately HE is the only one who would make any money. MINE! He got 500.00 down and 30.00 per month until the case settles. Months go by and you hear NOTHING from him or his lame para legal. Six months after I hired him I had to threaten to call the Florida bar before I got his para legal to call me back. He refused to maintain contact and missed deadlines and lost important documents. I heard from him only FOUR times during the 22 months he was my attorney only to have him call me and tell me their determination was I had no basis for discrimination. Of course not! He missed deadlines and lost stuff! He didn't present my case properly! Now he tells me if I want to sue it's going to cost around 25k! So he milks the case for as long as he can to rip you off for as much as he can and then gives you an unrealistic number to sue. He is probably the most unprofessional attorney I have eve had to deal with. STAY AWAY!!

Be aware

I paid this lawyer 2500.00 to represent me on a labor issue and all he did was write a letter, after that he wanted 25000.00 for representing me and I said no way since he didn't do nothing at all. Be aware.

Very unprofessional

In November 2016, I was laid off from my employer when they found out I was pregnant and had to call out 1 day because I was very sick. I found Bo in google. Decided to contact him and he seem very professional. In the beginning, when they needed to collect my money everything was great. Months later..., It took 2 or 3 weeks for an email response never a call. I waiting patiently for their response and until this day July 24, 2017 no response from neither Bo or his paralegal. Please don't use his lawfirm. When you call is always an answering service and never a real person. I lost $500 It doesn't seem a lot but for a person that has a newborn and not working it's a lot. Keep looking my advice to you.

Got Me My Unemployment!

I hired Robert "Bo" Michael in after having been fired from my university job (supposedly for poor job performance though I had worked there for six years) and cheated out of $4,000.00 in unused vacation pay. Additionally, my former employer falsely claimed "misconduct" as the reason for my dismissa...l when I had filed for Unemployment compensation. I was frantic, but Bo took charge during the appeal process, meaning a telephone conference call with my former employer and the unemployment office in Tallahassee. He simply pointed out that in all the paperwork in my personnel file, nothing had ever been mentioned regarding "misconduct". My employer's head of HR was obviously embarrassed at having been "caught with her pants down". Four days after that conference call, I received a letter stating that the original decision was officially reversed! I am convinced that if Bo had not been on the call, I would not have received a penny. Since my unemployment compensation lasted over two years, I consider my fee a modest investment indeed! Unfortunately, since Florida is a Right-to-Work state, he had no legal grounds to get me my $4,000.00 back, but that was nobody's fault.
