Michael Albert Hochwalt

After 37 years of marriage with "irreconcilable differences, values and choices," I was referred to Mike Hochwalt by a friend who had consulted with him regarding her own marriage. Possessing a PhD in Mental Health Counseling plus his law degree, he not only provided wise legal counsel, but he also... understood the dynamics in my marriage. From the moment I walked into his office, I felt safe, affirmed and respected, in the presence of a trusted counselor who just happened to also know the law. What a rare, valuable combination of knowledge, skills and insights! At our first meeting he provided me wise, compassionate counsel with no pressure, encouraging me to spend more time evaluating my own emotional needs, before I decided to proceed with a legal action. Definitely NOT what I expected from a divorce attorney! When I finally decided to move forward with a dissolution, Mike helped me draft the dissolution document, which we reviewed with my husband in a joint session. Although I was very apprehensive about that meeting I had nothing to fear. Mike developed instant rapport with my husband, which not only put him at ease but also eliminated stressful and expensive divorce proceedings. My dissolution is final now, and I am so very grateful that I was referred to Mike. He helped turn a potentially ugly, painful and expensive experience into a situation that not only preserved my emotional health (and finances!) but also helped preserve my relationship with my "ex" so that we are still on talking terms. I thank God for Mike and his capable, caring team! :)

Michael Hochwalt is an expert attorney. He is thorough, honest, and knowledgeable. His extensive experience makes him an expert in his field. He was responsive to all my calls and emails, and ensured all my legal needs were met to my satisfaction. His prices were fair and honest. I will continue to r...ecommend his legal services to family and friends.

Mr. Hochwalt was very knowledgeable in the area of family law with expertise in custody and military divorce. He answered all questions relating to the needs and best interest of children with disabilities in a divorce situation. He was compassionate, interested and respectful. I found his docto...rate in counseling a bonus in addition to his vast knowledge of the law. He went after my best interests financially where high dollar assets were involved. He was always prepared whether going to Court or an office meeting. He tries to reach amicable resolutions for the best interest of the parties and children and of course to save on legal fees, but was not afraid to take it to trial and fiercely fight for me. Mr. Hochwalt’s advice and ability to read people is flawless. Well worth it!
