Posted by Ashley | September 24, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

He's in it for the long haul...

I hired Mr. Casey in 2017 for a custody case. My case has been very high conflict, very disruptive, and very intense. It has been a LONG 3 years, and we have been in and out of court A LOT. Michael's professionalism and knowledge is obvious, yet he has this remarkable ability to dissect and explai...n the complexities of what was happening so that I could easily understand. He puts effort in to making sure I know what to expect before and after court, as well as what to do with all the stuff in between court dates. He has been patient with me in explaining the do's and don'ts of different situations from a legal standpoint; he has answered questions that were applicable to the case, while also separating the matters that weren't. We have sat in his office and gone over strategies and scenarios, witness testimonies, motions, legal standpoints and relevance... He is truly a GREAT ATTORNEY. He cares about the well being of his clients and the kids involved. He has shown that he will fight for what is right and he is in it 'til the end. I couldn't be any more grateful for the fact that I know no matter what comes my way, if I need to ask for direction regarding matters of my case, I can count on Michael.

Fantastic Attorney

When I first contemplated filing for a divorce I knew nothing about the process or where to start looking for an attorney. I researched the "best in my area" and I kept seeing Mr. Casey. Hiring Mr. Casey and his staff was the absolute best decision. The process was fairly easy as he took time to sit ...down with me and would personally return my phone calls to his office. His staff was also understanding and polite. Mr. Casey never got upset with me when I would call so many times in a panic regarding the case. My divorce was somewhat "unique" in circumstance and we ended up settling. Had we went to trial, I have no doubt Mr. Casey would have won. He is absolutely fantastic. A true professional. I have even hired him to handle another case for me.

Michael is top-notch!

Michael has been working on my case to get more parenting time with my four children. Unfortunately my former spouse has thrown every obstacle imaginable to keep me from my children. Michael has done a tremendous job thus far. He is absolutely professional, knows the Law, and knows how to represent h...is clients effectively. We have more hearings to go but I am confident in Michael and his ability.

Michael Casey

Michael was referred from a previous client that I know.. I was so unsure who to trust or who could help me at this point... I prayed about it and Michael was the one GOD put on my heart and in my mind to trust with everything...The first time I met him I knew he would be my attorney for my son and m...e until.... He's very caring, honest, professional, compassionate about his work and does his job 150%... I trusted Michael with my sons happiness and future and he never ceased to amaze me and NEVER let us down..Michael goes above and beyond and doesn't quit and can't isn't a option ever.. He doesn't play let's make a deal with any attorney he's all about his client and their best interests.. I would recommend Michael to anyone. I've recommended Michael to several people and he won their cases also. I will NEVER use anyone else..Michael is the best attorney around without a doubt!!!!

Highly Recommended

I was referred to Mr. Casey by a friend after having an unsatisfactory experience with a local lawyer in my rural community. Mr Casey and his team have been courteous and professional. I felt confident throughout my 12 month divorce/custody hearings with Mr Casey at my side. I also had concerns about... hiring an out-of town attorney, but Mr, Casey was very flexible and available via phone, e-mail, etc.. which kept me from having to make constant trips to Jackson. I have already recommended him to others and will again. This guy knows what he's doing.
