I was getting divorced and my wife was starting to have mental health issues. I was the primary caretaker for my kids and worked from home and my wife was working outside the house. I found out that she was having an affair and a secret life. She also was developing mental health issues. She file...d for divorce and asked for full custody...of the three kids I had been the primary caretaker of. When I hired Michael, based on his Avvo reviews, I had very high expectations that he would be able to show the truth. I was not disappointed. Michael fought for me when needed, talked for me when appropriate and negotiated when it was the right thing to do. He was more than a lawyer...he never gave up and fought for me like it was personal. When we were winning every hearing, my wife filed a domestic violence charge and Mike referred me to a criminal lawyer who got the case dismissed. No matter what happened in my case, Mike did what was necessary to take care of me and my children. I have a much better life started now thanks to Mike and he has my loyalty forever.

Mr. Cutler provided services to my sister and I in 2006 – 2008 involving a difficult situation with my father. He was in his early 90’s, and was being taken for large amounts of money by an individual who had worked as an exercise instructor at his active living senior residence. The case was parti...cularly touchy because protecting my father’s assets involved restricting a man who was obviously still able to manage his own affairs. Mr. Cutler convinced the court to appoint a conservator who watched over his finances, with the court intervening directly only to prevent significant missteps – such as my father offering this individual a home at a cost that would have wiped out his assets. While preventing such egregious behavior the court allowed my father to run his daily affairs as he always has – a fair and humane compromise under the circumstances. Throughout this arduous process, during which my father fought back with two attorneys, Mr. Cutler always responded with patience, dignity, and understanding, and brought a high degree of organization to a situation that initially seemed chaotic. Although this was a difficult drawn out case, involving great effort by Mr. Cutler and a lot of patience on the part of my sister and I, our objective of protecting my father’s assets was achieved.

I found myself in a situation where I had to defend myself and my business against my ex-business partner. After 2 1/2 years of selling his share of the business, he was trying to manipulate the legal system so that he can get more money than he had originally asked for. He obviously could not stand... the fact that I was able to succeed in running the business without him. I was referred to Michael Cutler by a former client and he exceeded my expectations. At the consultation he heard me out, reviewed some material and explained a general outline of what needed to be done. To me, this was an open and shut case. But real life is not like an episode of Law & Order where things are done in a hour. From the beginning he gave me an estimate of how long the process might take and how much it might cost. He demonstrated great knowledge, was responsive in a timely manner, was organinzed and passionate. The right person to have in your corner backing you up
