Michael Dunn is absolutely the best!

Michael Dunn is an amazing lawyer. He believed me, believed in me, hoped with me, and fought for me. I am thankful to him for his genuine care, sincere empathy, and transparent honesty. He listens and truly hears, he understands the details and needs of each specific case, and he is gifted and tal...ented in communicating with the other lawyers and most importantly, with the judge. His professionalism exceeds expectations, his candor is appreciated, and his ability to engage and encounter each endeavor is remarkable. Please believe me when I say that Michael Dunn is my hero and I give him my thanks and praise for the exceptional job he did in representing me and my case.

Excellent Lawyer that handles very compliacted cases with great results

Mr. Dunn is one of the best attorneys I have ever hired. He is knowledgeable and works with very complicated cases with grace and professionalism and very reasonable. He returned every call almost immediately and was courteous and easy to understand. Love this lawyer. I read a negative review ...and it was not my experience. He does very high anger divorces and it sounds like someone that wanted the world and could not get it.

Do not trust Michael. You will be sorry that you did. He'll do a great job selling you why you should retain him though.

I totally agree with the review from the previous entree. Mike does not explain anything. It's like he just expects you to know what is happening. He is very short with his responses 'IF' he answers your questions. I have had to ask him several times the same question over and over again to get a... reply. He took me for the full retainer where I never even met with him once after I retained him. When I tried to meet with him, it was always........."I'm not around, but call me any time". Don't bother with email either. Questions never got answered. He would never strategize and come up with a plan so you never knew where you stood on issues and where you were going for the future in the process. Very frustrating. I ended up firing him and that was the best decision I have made. He made a lot of money off of me and I was no further along than when I started with him. Do not, I repeat, do not hire him. I usually do not take the time to write reviews (good or bad), but this is one that I certanly wanted to do. Find someone else. You'll be much better off.
