Excellent Attorney one of the kindess people I have ever met

I found Michael by Google search, the first appointment I had he talked with me, reviewed my situation and told me he didn't think I needed a lawyer as I had a ton of documentation to support my claim. Couple of things happened and I was being treated badly by my husbands family so I went back. This... time he said ok lets get to work. He stayed in touch with me through email, phone calls, texts while at his kids games. He took charge of the situation and within about 3 months my case was settled, he went beyond that portion and helped me resolve a couple of issues that were really important to me. He is honest, and so very kind. I would definitely recommend Michael to anyone needing a very knowledgeable attorney my case was Federal and he absolutely knew his stuff! After he is your attorney is also your friend, I will forever be grateful to him.

Superb attorney! Honest, Knowledgable, Committed.

Michael litigated an extremely difficult Probate and Estate Case involving my deceased brother who was deceitfully taken advantage of during the last six months of life as his physical and mental health deteriorated. This was a nightmare as I am in Florida and all assets were about to go to a strang...er with an arrest history . This practice is professional, compassionate, readily available and father and son strategize to execute the best plan of attack. A friend and very prominent member of the Mobile community confirmed this is an honest family with a very reputable practice. Months after settlement, we still communicate. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

The REAL Deal

After contacting more than a few attorneys, I came across Michael's profile on AVVO. He listened to my concerns, reviewed the background info I sent and provided quick, honest feedback. He was not about to take my case just for the paycheck and wanted me to clearly understand my options before hiri...ng him. My confidence in him was rewarded shortly thereafter. Michael always returned correspondence via email or phone in a timely manner. He is patient, professional and extremely knowledgeable in estate law. The subpoena he generated for me was successful and provided the peace of mind I sought. Michael did not rest until my mission was accomplished! I would not hesitate to use Michael's services again and highly recommend him to anyone requiring assistance with ensuring a will is executed properly.

Thorough, Energetic and Passionate

Michael and his father Ralph were fantastic. They showed passion for representing us at every angle, providing honest feedback throughout and had a never-ending drive to find out the truth in our case. Recommend for probate litigation!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
