A Savior In a Time of Desperation

I hired the Michael Halusek to help out with a very scary issue where I was being accused of being the father to a two year old boy. I was worried that I would lose everything due to back child support and future payments. The scariest part was that the mother was being very discourteous towards me a...nd absolutely uncooperative, leaving me to worry about what the future would look like. The best decision I made was to call Michael and file a petition to order the mother to submit to a DNA test. Michael guided and comforted me throughout the entire process. It had felt like a giant weight had been lifted off my shoulders. He was with me from the very beginning to the very end, always available to talk to explain a situation or to just calm me down. I ended up not being the father to the child, but if I had, there is no one else I would rather have in my corner than Michael Halusek. Michael was a beacon of hope to me at a time I thought all hope was lost. Not only was he able to defend me from a system I believed determined to undermine the rights of fathers, his calm and empathetic demeanor offered emotional succor to myself and to those I care about the most. I am eternally grateful for Michael’s service. I would, and will, recommend him to anyone in a time of need.
