I just want to take a moment and praise Mike Hollander who was recommended to me by Chris Dunham with Dunham and Ingram (spelling?) Mike Hollander went above and beyond what a lawyer should do. Mr. Hollander took the tone to listen to me and did whatever he could to get me a not guilty verdict that was justice for me since I was not guilty of what I was accused of. During the whole process of my case he kept the lines of communication open during business hours and after. He was very diligent and spoke to me like i was Family and was great at encouraging me when I was ready to just walk away the stress of what I was going through and the trial on top of it would at times be hard to handle yet when I talked to him he would always comfort me and encourage me to keep going. During this whole process Mike stood behind me and guided me and supported me. The sentiments stated in one of his reviews that the client felt as if he gained a lifetime friend is the same feelings I have and I would and have recommended Mike and will most definetely use his services again if I ever have a need for a criminal lawyer again which I hopefully will not ever need again... Im extremely happy with the way Mike handled me and my case.... many praises to Mike Hollander... Thanks again Mike for representing me and making me feel like a person and friend and not a client....
I am taking the time to write this review, because Michael has completely changed my opinion about attorneys. There are plenty of attorneys who give the whole profession a bad rap, this guy certainly is not one of them. This gentalman exudes professionalism in every sense of the word. He makes you feel as though you are friend, not just a client. I have used his services several times in the past and I will continue to do so in the future.
Most recently, my fiance and I used his services to draw up a prenuptial agreement as well as our living wills and trusts. He was extremely diligent in making sure no question went unanswered. Most importantly, his fees were more than reasonable!
While he and his firm specialize in estate planning, he is certainly no stranger to a court room, be it for family law or criminal defence. I happen to personally know several people who have had him represent them in family law cases, who were thrilled with him.
In closeing, I have found legal representation for life, and also gained a friend.
Originally from New Jersey, Michael Hollander has resided in Florida since 1997, where he graduated from the University of Central Florida and Barry University School of Law.
Mr. Hollander has represented numerous clients in Marion, Lake, and Sumter counties over the past 10 has a deep knowledge of many fields of law which gives him a unique perspective on how to help clients achieve the best possible results. He believes that everyone deserves competent representation and thus has done extensive pro bono work in the areas of Criminal Law, Family Law and Estate Planning.
Mr. Hollander enjoys sports and spending time with his two children, William and Max. He currently volunteers at the Free D.O.M. clinic which is a non-profit organization providing free legal advice to the citizens of Central Florida. You can listen to Mr. Hollander speak on subjects such as Estate Planning, Probate and Elder Law at numerous seminars around the Central Florida area.
