Bad attorney
Did not notify me of a court date and instead of advocating for me advocated for my stalker’s release from custody only to attack me and 2 others days later. Beware.

Simply the best
I have consulted with Mr falconer on couple of occasions and received a perfect professional advice that resolved the issue. Mr falconer is very competent, kind and attentive to clients needs and yet will fight furiously for your rights. I learned that from the friends I referred. Highly recommended!...

Micheal is very honest about what may take place. He left the door open for me to ask questions and understanding. He is awesome.

GREAT ATTORNEY
He is a very trustworthy person. He is very professional, definitely I would recommend him. Responsibility is one of his most attributes. He keep me informed of all that was happening in my case with out me going after him like it happened to me with other attorneys.
