Highly recommend for serious legal cases

I worked with Michael Fink for over five years on a very difficult and stressful custody case. Anyone who’s been through something like this knows it’s not just legal work it’s emotionally exhausting, slow, and at times overwhelming. Atty Fink was steady through all of it. He didn’t sugarcoat thin...gs or make promises just to make me feel better, but he also never lost sight of what mattered most: my child. When things dragged on or got especially hard, he stayed focused and prepared and kept pushing the case forward the right way. After years of work, the case ended with me being awarded full custody. That outcome didn’t come easily, and it wouldn’t have happened without Michael’s persistence, experience, and willingness to see the case through no matter how long it took. I’m genuinely grateful for his work and would strongly recommend him to anyone dealing with a serious custody or family law situation especially if you need someone who will stay in it with you for the long haul.

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

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.

Super Lawyer

I’ve been in the court system for around 3 years now and Michael has been my lawyer through it all. He’s taken care my struggles to get parenting time, helped with getting me a break in child support due to my circumstances, and the most important part he got me an evidentiary hearing. Michael is ver...y experienced and will fight for you in court. I just finished my last hearing for establishing a change in custody due to meeting a threshold and Michael was fantastic in the court room and due to his diligence on my case he was able to get me an evidentiary hearing. I’ve tried other lawyers before Michael and I will tell you that if you want to be represented correctly you need to call him as soon as possible. I can’t thank Michael enough for everything he was able to do as I was not able to see my son for years before he got involved. Please learn from my mistakes and hire him instead of wasting thousands of dollars on other lawyers!

Wish you reconsider better options than hiring him

If i can give less one star i would do it. First of all he has no time for new clients and delayed the filling for 6 weeks which made my X kidnapping the kids and give them Trauma. Didn’t answer emergency calls on time at least if he was busy with courts he would act like professional and let one o...f his paralegals follow up on the situation. Asked not to pay transportation for my X and still he decided to make me pay it. ( even if it was according to his experience he didn’t explain i was just forced) Asked million times to be copied in any communications with the my X lawyer and never did. I don’t even trusted him for the confidentiality.
