Exceptional and Caring

Miriam Wolock was patient, professional, understanding, focused, and really walked me through every step of my life changing event. I was scared, nervous, and uncertain of the future. Ms. Wolock made the entire process bearable and assured me that there would be a tomorrow. Thank you so much!

Highly recommend

Recently I had the pleasure of working closely with Miriam for a mutual client. Miriam professionally and assertively handled a difficult and delicate post-divorce dispute, devoting to the client an extraordinary amount of time, sage counsel, and, ultimately, friendship. Miriam's ability to manage ...the client's high expectations and desire to resolve the conflict expeditiously impressed me most. The client remains delighted to have received such a great result.

Put Your Case in Capable Hands

In short - Mrs. Miriam Wolock is held in highest regard for her professional competence and practice. It is unfortunate, but to put this into proper context I have had the experience of no less than seven attorneys involved in some manner. There are not enough stars in this rating and the descrip...tor, excellent, is insufficient in describing Miriam Wolock's strengths and character as an attorney. Mrs. Wolock accepted an exceptionally challenging case borne of issues involving a divorce and retirement benefits that floundered through years before her engagement. In extremely short order Mrs. Wolock demonstrated her extraordinary ability to comprehend the great complexity and volumes of military regulation, government agency procedure and previously written orders, rulings and opinions from several different courts and at varying levels within the hierarchy of our judicial system. She is a brilliant spokesperson and accomplished negotiator commanding attention both in and out of the courtroom. Mrs. Wolock is a dynamic strategist. She is steadfast and focused on positive resolution and successful outcome. Her energy is unbounded and unhampered by distracting minutia - there is no time left to waste, relevant point or fact of matter she will miss. I am personally convinced that Miriam's success lies within her ethos that her job is to help and that I was not just a client but always from the beginning a person. If you are seeking a lawyer, there are many to be found but if you seek a learned and accomplished ADVOCATE - look no further. You will find this to be the most valuable decision taken.

Professional and Trustworthy

Miriam was extremely proactive and responsive. She is very knowledgeable and respected in Oakland County. I was impressed by her attention to detail, fairness and thoroughness in handling my divorce case. Her communication style was direct and succinct. I sent emails on weekends and evenings and of...ten had a response in minutes. She was worth every penny!

  • 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.
