Never never use this lawyer!!!!

Unscrupulous lawyer ! He took 25000$ from me , did not even provided me with my discovery package in 27 months and withdraw himself from the case . I made notarized request for accounting of provided services twice. He did not even replied. he just took all money upfront and did not wanted to work... on my case, then blamed me ,that I made insinuations about his work and withdraw himself.I told him straight , that he did not get any results. Stay away!!!! save your money and time . It was biggest stress of my life!!

Not good

He did not do good job on a case that was serious he did not communicate with me well and act on my behalf I let him go before my case was finished hired someone else and received a good outcome along with great service.

Stay Away from this Lawyer

Stay away from this lawyer. He could not handle immigration case I had in 2010, and my money was wasted. Beside money, lost the case. During the trial period, did weak job in conducting cases...

By FAR, One of the BEST!!!

Mike is very professional, and even though he is very busy, he takes time to listen and understand all of the facets of each case before proceeding. He is Very thorough, and his fee is unexpectantly very reasonable. I truly expected a much higher rate from him, knowing that he is a Lawyer of very hig...h caliber.

Very Good Attorney

Mike is probably one of the best lawyers in town not only is he knowledgeable as an attorney, but he has been a trial judge, Police Officer so he understands the whole entire process.

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.
