I am pleased to write a positive review for people who deserve it. Too often we have plenty of negative things to say about those serving us but don’t often take the time to say positive things on those who serve us well. Mr. Hagan has taken care of our parents estate planning now for years and two y...

We have been a client of Mike Hagen for several properties that were taxed higher than they should be for various reasons. In each case, Mike's experience enabled him to develop an approach for each property that reduced the value based upon his evidence. Mike has the knowledge and experience for cu...

My family has used Mr. Hagen on several occasions and there is no finer lawyer. He and his staff exceeded our expectations.
"Mike is a pleasure to work with and represents his clients with the utmost professionalism and ability."
"I have had the distinct pleasure of working alongside with Mr. Hagen for an extended period of time in the co- representation of the Lee County, Florida, Property Appraiser. Mike has demonstrated a wide array of talents and his diligence shines brightly in everything he does. I have found Mr. Hagen to also be extremely professional and ethical in all of his dealings in and out of the courtroom. I would hire Mr. Hagan if I needed an attorney to handle a real estate matter for me in Southwest Florida. Mark"
"I work exclusively as a Mediator, and have had the privilege of working with Mike on numerous occasions.He maintains the highest ethical standards, is extremely knowledgeable, and is always fully prepared. More importantly, Mike fully understands that being "right' on the law is not as important as obtaining a practical, cost effective result for his client. As such, he never allows his ego cause him to lose sight of his primary objective, which is to obtain a good result for his client. I have referred friends to Mike in the past, and will continue to do so in the future, because I trust him to have his client's best interest at heart, and am confident that he has the knowledge and experience to accomplish his objectives."
"I endorse this lawyer. He is honest, reputable and personable, and he has strong morals that back up his qualities. I have no qualms whatsoever referring clients to him for real estate matters or cases that my firm does not handle in our practice. Mike is a credit to the profession and he gives lawyers a good name. He loves to help people in the office and outside the office in all aspects and manners of helping people."
"Mike and I met as opposing counsel on several cases through the years. He was always efficient in getting to the real issues in the case. I now refer clients to him as I know he will treat their cases with the respect and the legal efficiency they need. I would retainer him for his legal services if I was in need."
"I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Hagen on several legal issues over the many years of our respective legal practices. His professionalism and personality are only outweighed by his legal competence."
"Michael is an experienced real estate attorney. That's whom you want to go to for your legal advice when it comes to real estate transactions."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have experience working with Mike since 1996 and he has always been an attorney of the highest professional, legal and ethical standards. I would recommend him without hesitation."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mike is an excellent lawyer with tremendous knowledge and skill. He is honest and practices with integrity. I trust Mike and so will you!"
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Mike is an experienced real estate attorney both in transactional and litigation matters. He was in-house counsel for many years with the Lee County Property appraiser and has a sub-specialty with disputes involving property valuation and ad valorem taxation issues. I have always found that Mike puts the interests of his client's first and whether its a transaction or litigation he is moving the matter forward to achieve the best result for his client.He is very cordial and easy to work with as well."
"I absolutely endorse this lawyer's work. We initially met as opposing counsel, and it was such a wonderful experience. As opposing counsel, he is polite, ethical, reasonable and knowledgable. As a fellow attorney in our community, he is someone I am proud to refer business to. Mike is very competant in the fields he practices in, and he treats his clients with courtesy and respect."
