DO NOT HIRE

Michael Winter is not a good lawyer. I hired him for a pretty easy divorce and at every turn he made excuses why he was ill prepared. Things were lost in his e-mail, he wasn't aware that I needed to sign off on a QDRO prior to submission to my ex-wife's employer, my wife's lawyer was privy to informa...tion he was not ect...Needless to say the settlement that should have been paid to me in 60 - 90 days has yet to be seen, its been six months. Horrible experience!

I feel bad that this client had to wait so long for this process to be completed. Everything usually works faster. In this case, the Divorce Agreement required the other side's attorney to get the QDRO prepared by a 3rd party, and once it was prepared by the 3rd Party, it was given to that attorney to approve. That attorney then had to send it to me to approve, and it then the QDRO had to go to the Court to be signed, and then a certified copy of the Order had to be sent by certified mail to the x-wife's employer to take effect. Unfortunately, there were many delays in that process, which were beyond my control. Once I found out about those delays, I did what I could to speed up the process, including physically taking the document in person from the court, and sending the document myself by certified mail to the employer.

Michael Winter is a fantastic Attorney!

I found Michael through my Employee Assistance Program and I'm so glad that I did. He was very professional with my cases. I used his service for both divorce and bankruptcy. My divorce was so smooth and he was great and easy to talk to. I will definitely recommend his services to anyone that asks....
