Bankruptcy, Family, and Traffic Matters

My bankruptcy went completely smoothly and he was there for me every step of the way. He was also my attorney for child custody matters and college expenses issues and was very successful in getting what we wanted. He currently represents my son in a traffic matter and I anticipate a positive outcome....

JoAnne Bruzgul

Real estate lawyer | Oct 23

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Attorney Perez as opposing counsel in a real estate transaction. Both our clients were at odds over the division of their jointly owned property. Neither was willing to give an inch. However because of Mr. Perez’ professionalism and hard work, we reached a solution that benefited both of our clients. The property was sold at a fair price, the partition action was dismissed, and our clients were able to go their own separate ways. Working with Michael is simply wonderful. He is diligent, willing to lend a hand and follows through to the very end. His courteous manners and honesty are what the legal profession aspires for all its members."
