Robert Kerr 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!

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!!

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.
