"I found Michael and his staff to be very competent and easy to work with. He did not waste time arguing about unimportant issues, and he was certainly able to "get the job done.""
"Michael is an excellent attorney. He is a tireless advocate for his clients, and a formidable opponent in the courtroom. Whether it's litigating a high-stakes case, or negotiating a hard-fought agreement, he will approach it with his full attention and total effort. I would highly recommend Michael Doman."
"I have had the opportunity to oppose Michael on several divorce cases. In my experience, I have come to observe firsthand that Michael represents his clients with zealous advocacy both inside and outside the courtroom, while demonstrating the utmost professionalism to his opponents. This, along with his extensive experience in divorce and family law, make him an excellent attorney."
"Michael was a formidable opponent. He was always well prepared and equally skilled at either negotiating or litigating -- depending on the situation."
"I have enjoyed working with Michael on divorce matters over the years. He is professional, and serves his clients well."
