HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! AMAZING CHILD CUSTODY ATTORNEY!

First, I have to say there are not enough words to express what Mr. Vitale and his firm did for not just myself but, for my children. Both He and his staff are heaven sent, in my and my children's eyes. I consulted with Vitale and associates in late 2017 regarding my child custody case, this was an... out of state case brought to MI and had already been litigated on for almost 3 years. 3 years of motions, in and out of courtrooms, being lied to by counsel, you name it, it probably had gone wrong in my case up until that point. Mr. Vitale could have easily felt like it was a lot to jump into, especially with no prior knowledge of the 3 year case. Instead, Mr. Vitale didn't hesitate to jump in and begin unraveling the knot my case had become. I am more than happy to say, he is REALLY GREAT at what he does and while my case is still being somewhat litigated, I will never have another attorney represent me and my children other than Mr. Vitale. If you are looking for an honest, dedicated, ethical and highly knowledgable attorney to represent you, no matter the situation, then you should contact Vitale and Associates! The bond I formed with not only Mr. Vitale but the entire team is a bond that will last a lifetime, as will the memories my children and I are now able to freely make on our own. Something that would not have been possible without Mr. Vitale and his amazing associates. They treat you like a part of their family and actually care about the best possible outcome for you, no matter what! Thank you Mr. Vitale and Maggie, I'd give you both a billion star reviews if I was able to! Amanda Hoffman-Thompson

11 years and still going

I have hired Bob on multiple occasions over the years on 2 divorces, 1 domestic situation, and multiple motions. I have not once been disappointed in the results he has gotten for me and my kids. He tells you exactly what you need to do to put yourself in the best position possible. There are no ...guarantees when it comes to court, but you stand a better chance with Bob as your lawyer and following his advice. Yes, I have paid Bob a lot of money over the years, but EVERY PENNY WAS WORTH IT!

JB

Hired Bob for a divorce. Yes I'm in jail right now, but geesh. I lost 100% of everything! My house, 2 cars, stuff I owned before I was married, gifts she gave me for Christmas, everything! (Except my clothes) I have 0% of any contact with my daughter not even sure if she is my daughter. Bob wouldn...'t file for a dna test. Terrible lawyer, kept giving "good" excuses as to why everything was taken from me, but seemed to forget that she had been cheating on me from day 1 of our marriage.

Fantastic

I hired Bob to represent me when I was falsely accused of a domestic assault against my wife. Bob, along with his assistant Maggie, were extremely personable and always answered my questions in a timely manner. Bob cared about my well-being and always asked how my kids were doing. Bob stuck with m...e throughout the nine month process and he rocked it when we went to trial. The jury deliberated for about 20 minutes and came back with a not guilty verdict. Afterwards, I witnessed two jury members track Bob down and tell him what a great job he did. Bob believed in me! I am so thankful for him and Maggie.
