This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Decent and capable attorney

I was involved in litigation with Mike. He is very honest and straightforward, just a decent dude. Would not compromise his ethics.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Horrible attorney

Do not hire this attorney. He shows up for court at the very last second, does not return calls or emails, and does not follow through on divorce-related paperwork. Needs constant badgering to do his job. He has made my divorce much more stressful than it already is. Look elsewhere for an attorne...y.

Former divorce client

So poorly represented me, it would easily be considered legal malpractice. Frankly, I would be surprised if he hasn't been sued for malpractice. Still dealing with the repercussions of his inadequate and lazy legal work and now get to pay an adept lawyer to hopefully repair the damage from his prev...ious sub-par legal work. Powers promised the world to me but returned with nothing AND ended up causing me to financially lose a lot - but don't worry Powers always gets paid. Wouldn't it be nice to have a job where even when you do terrible work you still get paid?! Hopefully, I can find a new lawyer to undo all the shoddy legal work that was done.

He will waste your time and your money!!

Hired for divorce and custody arrangement, fired for being an arrogant unprofessional waste of time. Did not keep me informed, never made me feel confident, and made many unprofessional "jokes" that left me feeling baffled. Always seemed to be in a hurry and unorganized, would show up to trial second...s before start time. Do not hire this attorney, he did not have my best interest or my child's best interest in mind and my guess is he won't with you either!

Lazy

Never kept me informed. Did not follow up on requests. Did not challenge the opposing counsel's actions even when unfair. Don't hire. I fired him.
