Michael was a responsive, sympathetic and genuine attorney. His care in this case made the whole divorce process much more manageable. He was thorough and I highly recommend his work.

Relationship: Family member

"I send many of my clients to Michael who have family law questions. He does a fabulous job of not only contacting them immediately, but making them feel at ease. Any client that I have referred to Michael has complimented him and told me how wonderful he is. I trust him completely and know that he will always do an exemplary job for anyone that I need to send his way. He is smart and has the ability to talk to people in a way that makes them comfortable. He is extremely personable and likable which is what makes him an even better attorney than those who only possess the knowledge and not the people skills. I would recommend that anyone who needs help in the Family Law arena should contact him right away."

Divorce and separation lawyer | Nov 19

Relationship: Friend

"Michael and I have been friends since law school, and while his intelligence was apparent then, the extent of his talent as an attorney has truly been realized since he began practicing. I've known him to be understanding and sympathetic to client needs while remaining steadfast and firm in his efforts to represent the client's best interests. I believe it takes a special type of attorney, particularly in the practice of divorce and separation, that can advocate aggressively for clients without losing optimism and a calm demeanor for the possibility of amicable resolutions. Michael is clearly that unique type of attorney, and I confidently endorse him for that reason."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
