This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

A Simple Will

My wife and I hired Michael Walsh to help us write our will. He was very helpful, explaining in understandable terms all the various aspects of a will. He made excellent suggestions about aspects of the document we never even considered. He made sure that the final product reflected our wishes. We ca...me away from the experience with a good will and a much better understanding of what we are comitted to.

Excellent Divorce Attorney

Mike helped me with my divorce case, he fought hard and it turned out in my favor. He was responsive, knowledgeable, attentive, and he put up with my crap. Excellent attorney.

Could not have done it with out him.

I recently went through a messy divorce ( aren't they all ) My ex took me back to court to overturn a spousal support order. With Mike's knowledge of the law and other cases like mine we won our case. Now to some this sounds trivial however to me I do not have to pay my ex a large portion of my inc...ome. Thanks Mike.

Highly recommended

I've known Mike for about 14 years. During this time he has assisted me on numerous occasions with various legal matters. He sat up the Power of Attorney and Wills for my parents. He is very knowledgeable about Michigan's concealed carry law. He taught the legal portion of my CPL classes for many... years. A year ago he helped me with an L.L.C. for a rental property. As I write this he is assisting me with settling a land contract. Several times he has taken my calls and given me advice over the phone at no charge. Mike is my go to guy for all my legal matters.

Excellent Attorney

Mr. Walsh works with my agency in the Probate arena regarding adult guardianship and conservatorship cases. He is well respected in the community and a strong advocate for our vulnerable adults. He is very detail oriented and quick to respond in an emergency situation. Mr. Walsh has also represented ...my agency in a lawsuit against an organization that printed slanderous statements and procured a favorable settlement agreement. I would highly recommend Mr. Walsh for all of your legal needs.

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.
