Thank you Michael

Michael Fenger and the staff at Allison Mosby-Scott law firm did an excellent job assisting my husband and I on the closing on our home. He was professional, reliable and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him and this law firm.

Helped with a divorce

Michael was very attentive to my needs. He answered questions promptly. He searched for alternatives to get me the best possible outcome. Opposing counsel was difficult at best to work with but Michael remained diligent with his pursuit. I felt like a valued customer. I was clearly led along the proc...ess and given suggestions for my ultimate decision making. I would highly recommend Michael for your needs.

Reliable / trustworthy

I started using Mr. Fenger a few years ago while going through the divorce process. He is an attorney that you can count on and trust. If he says he is going to do something, it will get done. He is also very knowledgeable with regards to family law and has generally given me very good, level headed,... advice. I even followed him to his new firm when he switched offices this past year. Another thing I really like about Michael is that he is very responsive - he would come in after hours to meet with me, and he would always respond to my messages in a timely manner. He also did an amazing job writing defenses and reports for my case. In fact, he was largely responsible for a 46-page document detailing our arguments for one hearing and it was so well put together that the judge ruled a direct verdict in our favor (which means that the other party had no legal change to win against us). Michael is also very personable, which is a nice trait. He also has the ability to help his clients remain calm and focused, which is extremely helpful. If you are looking for a family law attorney that you can trust, I would definitely recommend Michael Fenger!
