Mike did an excellent job for me with a child support ,health care expense, and school tuition case. Mike worked hard to get me the reimbursement I was owed. He was always straightforward and explained my options. This was a long drawn out case because of ex but Mike was just as dedicated in the beginning as he was in the end. He ultimately got me everything I deserved. You can’t go wrong hiring Mike.
Mike is a great attorney. Hes a straight forward kind of guy. He will review your options and let you know where you stand, good or bad. Glad to have him on my side.
