Robert Kerr Michael

Negative 10 stars is what he deserves. He will do absolutely nothing except take your money. He misses deadlines and does not fight for you. He does not litigate cases. Instead he files a losing discrimination complaint with the EEOC which usually takes 18 months to conclude. The whole time he milks ...you for money and then when the case tanks, its too late to file a proper lawsuit with another attorney. He will ruin your life and just walk away like it's nothing. He has had numerous complaints filed with the Florida Bar however all they do to discipline him is have him take a class at his expense. He should be disbarred. Read all his reviews. DO NOT HIRE ROBERT MICHAEL!!

After speaking to 7 lawyers, Robert "Bo" Michael was the only attorney who represented tenants, not landlords. Last Tuesday, Sarah put me right through to Bo so I could discuss my situation with the management at Bayside Arbors Apartments. The consultation lasted less than 10 minutes, but he agreed t...o take my case. On Wednesday morning, I emailed Bo detailed documentation about all the issues I've been having with the Connor Group at Bayside Arbors. By the end of the workday on Wednesday, he emailed the manager of my apartment complex. On Thursday, I emailed him some questions. He answered them on the same day. Yesterday, he returned my call after 5 o'clock because he was in court in Miami all day. I'm not sure why there are negative reviews about Attorney Robert Michael. Interactions with him may be brief, but that is why his legal services are affordable to working-class people. Remember, other lawyers are more than happy to chat at length with you when they bill you at $500 an hour. I am completely satisfied with how he has handled my case so far. Updates to follow!

I hired Attorney Bo Michael after being wrongfully dismissed from a teaching position at an Orlando College that I'd held for 7 years due to the unethical behavior of another school employee. I met with him and he seemed enthusiastic about my case and competent despite a cheap suit and bad hair dye ...job. When it came time to collect a $1000 retainer, his paralegal, Lauren Martinez, was quick to send emails and respond to questions. But then nothing else was ever done for me except to send a one single paragraph letter to the college's Human Resources department, which didn't even get a response. My wife and I made several phone calls and sent multiple emails over 3 months to see what progress, if any, the case was making. No one ever answered the phone, it always went straight to voicemail. No one ever returned any of the phone calls and only after many months would an email be answered. And then the wrong information would be sent or attachments of documents that needed to be signed would be left off. There was no way to speak to the Attorney except through the completely incompetent and unprofessional paralegal. After seven months of a very frustrating lack of communications, we fired them in registered letter and they acted dumbfounded. Do not choose to have this poorly run practice represent you. The money we spent on this bad experience was tough to come by at the time and was a painful loss for my family. It would have been a better use of a thousand dollars to put it in a trashcan and light it on fire than to give it to these unethical people.

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.
