Robert Kerr Michael

I was taken by Robert Michael and the Robert Michael Law Firm. He took my $1,000 and then you don’t hear from him again. I had to call the FL Bar to have him call me back more than once because he wouldn’t return my calls or email. Then he calls to blow wind up your skirt to tell you that everythin...g was ok, but it was just another lie. I fired him and hired new counsel. I had Bo for over five months and nothing. The new counsel and had the opposing counsel respond to use in 4 days. The opposing counsel said that he has been trying to contact Bo, but Bo never called back. I have filed a complaint with the Florida Bar.

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.
