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.

Divorce Proceedings

Mike is an intelligent, kind, attentive attorney. He understands the emotions behind divorce without capitalizing off them. He thoroughly explained the divorce process and guided me through the proceedings. I highly recommend Mike.

OFP proceding & Divorce pending

Michael, & his firm did a great gob representing me during a recent OFP proceeding. My wife surprised the heck out of me by filing the order of protection. There was nothing to support her case & the truth was on our side. With great prep & gathering of the facts & presenting them to the court, it re...sulted in the OFP being dismissed. It felt like a huge weight was taken off my shoulders as we walked out of court together. Unfortunately my wife has since filed for divorce & I have retained Michael to continue representing me during the proceedings. I an encouraged by his firm's track record & hope for the best. If you are looking for a Lawyer & firm to fight for you this is it!

Highly Recommended Divorce Attorney

Michael Fink was my steady guide through the entire emotional process of divorce. He listened well and interpreted the legalese for me with patience and clarity. Mr. Fink kept my best long-term interests paramount in his strategy and I will be forever grateful for his excellent work on my behalf.

I WAS SO HAPPY WITH THIS CHOICE OF ACTION!!!!

Michael Fink helped me with my divorce. he did a great job. from the moment i sat down with him he gave me confidence in my choice i made to get a lawyer. everyone has their ways how they would like things to go but not always are they the right actions. Michael Fink showed me every out come of how a... situation would go down if i chose to walk the road i wanted to walk. he didn't hold me back from my choices but in turn he provided me a clear thought of how to do things in a right legal way.Michael Fink provides a comfortable environment. always friendly and respectful. Even when he was neck deep in paper work he still finds time to get a hold of you for what ever question you had. i honestly didnt want to get a lawyer but after looking around an making a few phone calls an running into Michael i was happy i found him. our divorce went very well. we only had to go 1 time into court. He promised me a smooth divorce for my situation an smooth is how it went. once i provided him information on what he needed he was set an we closed the deal smoothly. thank you Michael.
