Posted by anonymous | November 17, 2011 | Child Custody

Divorce in process, had to pick up from where I had fired the first attorney

Great guy. He gave me excelent advice and tried to lead me down the path that would be quickest and least damaging for me and my 2 children. I wanted to push harder and try to get full custody. . After a year and a half. I ended up with what , Michael told me was my bset possible deal, A year earlier.... I wasted time and money. Listen to him it will save you a lot of grief.

This man is at the HELM of a CIRCUS

I would strongly advise to look elsewhere for legal representation. This firm is a total joke and operates more like a schoolyard than a professional office. The experience was appalling from the start. The office manager is incredibly disrespectful and lacks the basic decency required for her rol...e. Not only did she raise her voice and yell at me over the phone, but she actually made a mockery of the fact that I am being sued. Dealing with a lawsuit is stressful enough without the people hired to help (or even just manage the phones) laughing at your situation and being openly hostile. To make matters worse, when a legal assistant named Phen joined the call, I expected some professionalism or de-escalation. Instead, Phen jumped right in to support the manager’s unprofessional behavior, doubling down on the disrespect. It is clear that "professionalism" is not in this firm’s vocabulary. From the top down, it is an unprofessional circus. If you want to be treated with dignity and have your legal matters handled seriously, stay far away from this place.

Child Support Adjustment

Mike did a terrible work on the adjustment of child support case I used him for. He used my ex-wife's income from 2009 as her current income and did not ask for any documentation on her LLC. I doubt he is up to date on 1240-2-4 he should have used that information to put his client in a better posi...tion. He did not.

Office sucks

I have dealt with this office before and there is a very rude, unwelcoming young lady at the front desk. when I arrived she was on her personal phone didn’t look up just asked if I was there to make a payment? confused I explained I was there to meet with mike, she told me he wasn’t back yet in a rud...e tone. that was it, never said anything else, or when he’d be back. just stared at her phone & got into an argument with someone on the phone. Mr. Flexsenhar himself was great, but he needs to reevaluate his office staff.

Run away

Mr Flexsenhar represented my son in a divorce. He confused my sons case ( who had no children) with a case where children were involved. He was over thirty minutes late for a meeting with the opposing attorney. He gave no effort in properly defending my son. The worst representation he could have po...ssible had.

Regarding this negative review, I have no idea who this gentleman is referring to. I handle several hundred cases each year, and always endeavor to properly represent my clients to the very best of my ability. Of course, there are times when attorneys with a significant volume of cases may run late to appointments or court hearings, and I am no exception. When this does occur, I always call my client and opposing counsel to inform them. It is significant to note that this negative review was not made by my client, but rather someone who purports to be my client's parent; therefore, I presume my actual client was pleased with my efforts.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Mike since I started practicing in Memphis. He has a reputation for being highly skilled and compassionate toward his clients. He is an a excellent litigator and always displays the highest level of professionalism. He is well respected by everyone I know in the Memphis legal community. Recently Mike mediated a difficult case for me and another lawyer. I had not thought it possible that this case could be resolved, due to the toxic emotions involved and the fact that one of the parties desired to move away with the children. Mike worked hard late into the evening to help these parties reach a fair settlement. I am impressed with Mike as both a lawyer and a mediator."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known Mike for at least 20 years and am always confident that I can refer any client with a family law or juvenile court problem to him. When I refer people, my reputation is on the line as well and that is why I am very particular about which attorneys I recommend. I have no qualms at all about Mike because I have had feedback from referrals many times always positive. He is most highly recommended."
