Extremely professional and proficient!

Mr. Theisen took care of an inheritance issue for my brother and I. He was thorough and professional. We didn’t have to worry about anything because he took care of it all. He is also extremely friendly and answers you back immediately when called or emailed. I would definitely recommend him to frie...nds and family.

Excellent experience

I’m not exactly sure how he was able to do this, but Michael found out that my sister and I were owed a substantial inheritance from our grandfather’s trust. He found us and let us know that he could help. I was absolutely dubious, but I’m very happy to say that I was mistaken. He made the entire pro...cess simple. And he even let me know from the start that, if I was uncomfortable, we could stop the process at any time. I can’t thank him enough for helping us right as the pandemic had certainly wreaked its havoc on our finances.

Outstanding Lawyer!

Michael is an outstanding lawyer. He discovered a lost inheritance that I was owed. He sent me a letter with a form to complete and return. It authorized him to file a petition to obtain the necessary documents and deliver the funds to me. With his research and professionalism, I was able to rec...eive a sizable settlement I didn't even know existed. Thank you Michael.

Unclaimed Money

I received a letter from Mike which stated that he had found unclaimed money that I was entitled to. Initial thought was "Yeah OK". Well I did contact him and low and behold from the date I contacted him I had 10,000 + in my hand within 3 weeks. If you receive any correspondence from him I highly ...suggest you follow up. Would not hesitate to contact Mike in the future..

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.
