Incredibly knowledgeable and listened to my concerns.

Mr. Danforth was kind and listened to what I wanted to get accomplished in my case. He was very thoughtful, and it was obvious that he understood my situation and how to navigate the law to bring me the results I wanted during my difficult ordeal.

Harrassment

This attorney texted me with the wrong contact information (someone else submitted my phone number) and he would not stop texting me. He accused me of wasting his time and threatened to track me down when I said he had the wrong number.

does not have your best interest in mind

He does not return phone calls in a timely manner, will withhold documents from you until the last minute and rush you to turn them in. Does not prep you for any of the important parts of your case with good information. If you are considering this man as your attorney I will confidently say anyone ...is better than him.

Useless Attorney

The man wouldn’t listen. Forgot court dates. He was an embarrassment. He wouldn’t communicate as to what was going on. I would not recommend this lawyer.

Excellent lawyer

By far the most excellent lawyer I’ve ever delt with. He will not let you down in the courtroom. I highly recommend Michael Danforth for civil and divorce cases.
