Bankruptcy

Michael Davey was very thorough and explained everything in detail so it was easy for me to understand the process. I would refer him to family and friends.

Posted by Richard | August 09, 2015 | Landlord & Tenant

Landlord Tenant Issue

I was referred to Mike Davey by my real estate agent as I was having some challenges with a obstinate and legalistic renter who would not leave my property. At first, I was unsure if Mr. Davey would be able to really help me as I could see his specialty was bankruptcy and financial planning and su...ch. However, after my initial consultation I immediately felt confident that my issue could be resolved and that hiring him would be a great idea. Mr. Davey was very easy to reach and always responded in a timely matter. I liked that he offered more than one possible solution to my situation. He offered several choices and helped me understand the probable outcomes of each of these. He listened to my needs and helped me reach an outcome that really worked for me. He was grounded and down to earth and yet knew his subject matter well. I am especially happy that Mike Davey helped work things out so that my unwanted renter left much sooner than originally anticipated. I, of course, reported Mike's work and outcome to my realtor. I highly recommend Mike Davey for help in resolving landlord tenant issues. I also know if I ever need help with financial planning issues, he will be the first one I look up, as well.

Highly recommend

I hired Mike Davey for a bankruptcy. He kept me well informed and up to date on all details. Every time I contacted him he responded in a timely matter. He always encouraged me to contact him for any reason with any questions anytime. He made it clear that there was one cost and he did not rush o...ur appointments and made sure I understood everything that was going on. I found him to be nonjudgemental and down to earth . I would definitely recommend him.

A very good lawyer, a very good man.

Bankruptcy is not fun, and it is something I never thought would happen to me. Mike was so kind and supportive to both my wife and I through the entire process. Our case was complicated and unique, and required extra investigation on Mike's part. He seemed to welcome the challenge, and always kept... us in the loop as to where things stood. When I would drag my feet and seem hesitant to move on because of fear or embarrassment, Mike would encourage me to keep moving forward with out being pushy. We felt completely prepared when we entered the courtroom, and felt completely confident in Mike's abilities to take care of us. He did! We ended up with the best possible outcome, and I believe it is because of Mike's hard work. Mike is a kind and thoughtful man that made this experience as good as it could be. It is not what I expected. I would recommend him to anyone!
