He is amazing

Mike was a true God send to me, he did everything he needed to do to handle my case and now I consider him a true friend

Posted by David | March 17, 2021 | Hired Attorney | Business

Mr.

About 15 years ago my attorney for many years dropped his private practice to work for a Federal Judge. I wandered in the wilderness for most of time since and about two weeks ago I had something come up where I really needed good, competent legal assistance. I scanned Google for a familiar name and... saw Bernstein, Stair & McAdams whom I recognized and gave them a call. I was put through to Mike Moyers. I am not an attorney but I have a better than average understanding of business law and have a lot of practical business experience and knew within a few minutes I had found the right guy. It was clear that Mike understood the problem and knew what he was doing. He handled my situation deftly and was always out in front of what was going on. Problem solved. I found my new guy. Thank you Mike. Well done sir.

Excellent choice for you

I have known Mike Moyers since he was a Chancellor on the bench for 20 years. I appeared in his Court for many years. He was compassionate about his work as a Judge. Recently, he decided to retire as Chancellor and move to practicing law again. He wants to help people and use his expertise to he...lp those people struggling and need help. He is an asset to our legal community. He is genuinely a kind person and very intelligent. In my life there are few people that I consider to be "real" and he is one of the few. He calls it how he sees it with honesty and integrity. His representation brings his clients the "edge" of being a Judge for years and now a litigator. I personally rely on reviews when I am searching for professionals, travel, etc. I focus on reviews that are sincere and appear to be "real." I assure you that Mike Moyers will provide you with top notch legal representation. It appears that I now have a major competitor in my profession. I welcome him back. He is a good one! Definitely 5 stars.

Family lawyer | Apr 12

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Mr. Moyers conducted a mediation on a highly contested custody matter. This case involved years of litigation and has always led to trials in the past. However, this time was different. We used Michael Moyers to mediate this case, and after 13 hours of mediation over two days, we were able to reach a detailed agreement that addressed all issues currently before the court. Through his assistance, he saved these parties from a time consuming and difficult trial. I highly recommend him for mediation and will use him again in the future."

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"I worked for Chancellor Moyers as a judicial clerk for nearly seven years and I now have the pleasure of working with him as a fellow attorney at Bernstein Stair & McAdams LLP. I have always known Chancellor Moyers to be a fair and considerate jurist. His decades of study and application of the law are complimented by his unique ability to quickly drill down to the pertinent issues faced by the parties who come before him. I readily endorse and recommend this attorney."
