This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Trusted, Grounded, and Got the Job Done

He not only fought for me, but actually negotiated my outcome into something far more manageable than I ever expected. I truly felt like I had someone in my corner who cared about the long game — not just checking boxes. Given my situation, I couldn’t have asked for a better result, and I’m beyond... grateful for the way everything was handled. If you want someone honest, sharp, and grounded, go with Michael R. Blum.

Do not use him for a criminal case

This is the most unprofessional, disorganized and clueless attorney I have ever worked with. He did absolutely nothing for my case. He was bad at returning calls, he joked frequently about the fact that he liked to watch other lawyers go ahead of him so he could learn. I did everything for my case my...self and he just went along with the formalities. The only reason I got what I wanted was because I continuously refused to accept charges on crimes that I did not commit. I got them dropped on my own by not taking Mr Blum's advice. If I'd had taken his advice I'd be in jail and on probation for something I didn't do. I proved that the charges were false. Mr Blum just told the DA that I was unwilling to take his deals. Expensive mistake to have him represent me. He certainly did not. Thankfully I didn't listen to his advice.

The Best

I was amazed how good this attorney is. He went out of his way to keep me informed and even reached better results than I expected. I would recommend YOU contact him if you need good results too!

Highly recommend

Professional, knowledgeable, amazing!!! I was alone and scared and Mr Blum was there for me 100 percent as my attorney. Only met him briefly but he looked after what was best for me and my family. Feel like he was a guardian angel with a professional degree. Very thankful for his professionalism and... knowledge. I owe him a big Thank You.

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.
