Probate Issue

I met with Mr. Forbes about a claim on my dad's probate. He was extremely laid back & easy to talk to. He took the time to actually look up statues & show them to me. He was very detailed in his explanations & made sure that I understood what he was talking about. Turned out that I didn't need an att...orney but if I ever do, I will definitely hire him.

AWESOME ATTORNEY!

Needed an attorney to prepare my mom's will. Michael did so in a timely and friendly fashion! My mom (89 years old!) just loved him! We consider him part of our family now! I would recommend him to anyone who wants it done fast and accurate!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
