Disappointed

Through my job I qualify for a free 30 minute consultation with a lawyer. I was referred to Michael Lim. Michael called me before he needed to go into court, and chose to talk to me over the phone for maybe 15 minutes. I'm new with talking to a lawyer so I wasn't sure where to begin. I didn't have a ...lot of time to go over much of what is going on with my situation, most of my questions or contact information for people involved. To make a long story short, Michael was very fast to dismiss me and gave me very little advice. I guess it is because it was a free consultation. Maybe if you have a lot of money and are not displaced from your home causing you to be behind on bills due to weekly motel fees, there might be potential that you will be treated as a person with feelings. Maybe if he is getting paid he would want to make time to help you instead of making you feel inadequate, stupid or like a burden. It is a shame that some people care more about money than what they can do to make a difference. Since Christmas night I have been struggling. None of the things going on are my fault. Thankfully I qualify to be referred to a new lawyer. I just hope this new one cares and is compassionate. I do not recommend Michael Lim to anyone, especially if you are poor.

legal representation

Michael Lim helped us navigate a challenging case regarding a plaintiff against us. Michael was strategic in his deliberations that resulted in a successful outcome. He outlined his strategy with us in advance and met us to review the background and the pending court appearances. He outlined multi...ple levels of strategy that could be invoked depending on the developments in the trial. We felt very confident with his representation and would not hesitate to retain his services again if needed. He was professional in the court room environment and clearly expressed the legal parameters of the case. In summary, we could not have asked for a better legal representative for our case.

Grateful !! Thank you Mike !!!

Michael Lim helped me get my life back ! I was impressed right from the start. When I called to set up an appointment for a consultation, Mike took the call right away. He took the time to hear me out and paid attention to all the details of my case. He was confident and straight to the point. After ...1 call, I knew I needed him in my corner. This was a case to eliminate maintenance payment, which in Wisconsin is not an easy thing to go up against. Michael put the facts together and went to work right away. He went toe to toe with my ex's attorney and long story short, he was able to get the maintenance eliminated ! If you want an attorney who is confident and fearless, Michael Lim is that man! Money well spent !!! A++ attorney

Attorney Michael Lim

We have worked with Attorney Lim for almost ten years. Whether it was to get legal advise on how to handle a situation or needing representation. He has always been upfront, professional and honest with what we can expect. We have the utmost respect for Attorney Lim and you can see that carries... thru the entire legal process. In or out of the court room you notice this same respect in how the judges, other attorneys and agencies interact with him. We have been fortunate on the outcome of our cases. Should the turn out have not been what we were hoping for, it would have had nothing to do with what Attorney Lim did not do for us. He puts 110% into his clients and it shows.
