Michael C. Black

Met with Mr. Black concerning custody mediation. His style is that of a parent. I understand that during custody battle parents tend to act like children, but Mr. Black certainly didn't give me or my ex the opportunity to communicate our style and methods before his prescriptive measures. These antiq...uated tactics may have worked in his earlier years, but he could stand a cultural competence training or two at this point. Note he even referred to one of his former clients as a "wacko" during our session. I mean, need I say more? People deserve better. Pay someone who demonstrates professionalism. Not Mr. Black!

My spouse and I retained Mike to represent us for a fee dispute we were in the midst of arguing with a former contractor. Mike helped us determine that mediation would be our best course of action to try and settle the dispute. Mediation requires good faith negotiations and compromise from both pa...rties. While it may not be the right choice for every situation; it definitely was for ours. Mike provided excellent representation before and during mediation, and followed through to ensure the settlement agreement was executed after mediation. In addition to being pleasant to work with; we would recommend Mike for his in-depth legal knowledge, experience, professionalism, and dependability...just to name a few among the many positives.
