Divorce and settlement

Great outstanding and representation in my case and settlement. Expertise, commitment and dedication in achieving an outcome that was satisfactory.

Number 1

We hired Michael after a year of back and forth with my custody case, he has been amazing since the first day, working tirelessly for us, and our case. Even the smallest doubt, he’d get back to me almost immediately at almost any hour of the day, simply the best. The fact that after 6 years, we got... the ending we wanted, and deserved, in a huge way is thanks to Michael

Fink a Lawyer that cares.

Mr. Fink and his team has been an incredibly valuable asset in navigating and completing the arduous journey that is the very flawed and antiquated legal system of family law.

Highly Informative and Organized

I recently took an Assets and Debts class for Paralegals through the Institute for Paralegal Education (IPE). Mr. Fink taught two (2) topics within the class in regard to QDROs and Retirement Plans and Drafting Property Division Spreadsheets and Marital Settlement Agreements. I found the informati...on Mr. Fink presented on retirement accounts and defined contribution plans to be very informative and extremely helpful. I am a Paralegal who has worked in family law for over 10.5 years. In addition to drafting pleadings, I also draft Pre-Hearing Statements, Marital Settlement Agreements, responses to discovery requests and assist parties with the QDRO process. A few days after our class concluded I reached out to Mr. Fink as I was eager to learn more about the organizational spreadsheets he shared during our class. I was pleased to receive a comprehensive response within a couple of hours of my email. I look forward to applying my knowledge on the division of marital assets/debts from the information I received during Mr. Fink's class.

Life Changing Services.

When I first called Mike the prior law firm representing me said that as a father, one overnight a week was a “win” for my son who’s a year old. I refused to believe that was true and when I called Mike he agreed. I instantly switched console over to Mr. Fink and instantly saw a difference in represe...ntation. He was flawless with how he approached my case and didn’t cave into the demands of opposing counsel. Fighting for my rights as a father and ultimately getting me equal rights with my son. I broke down crying when I read the results of my order because my son means the world to me. What Mike and Kevyn accomplished for me is something I will forever be grateful for. If you are reading this and feel defeated as a father then I highly encourage you to reach out. His rates are incredibly reasonable and his work is impeccable.

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.
