This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Poor Business Practices

We attempted to use his services. We spoke with him during his consultation; we found him curt in the initial meeting, but we cast it aside. We didn't hear a thing back for three weeks. He promised an email - nothing. Called the office three times; finally, on the third attempt, I got a call back...... from an administrative person. (FYI, I'm almost certain he uses an outsourced service.) The woman said Michael would not take our case. "Okay... fine. Did he say a reason?" "No." I understand it's a small practice, but their communication skills are poor. I went to his office to pick up our documents I dropped off. I found him to be prickly again. Ultimately, it's probably for the best he didn't take the case. Not a fan of his personality, and his office's lack of professionalism reflects poorly on his practice.

Looking for a great lawyer

Choosing a lawyer can be a very troubling task, especially if you haven't worked with one before. Reviews, like the one I am writing, really helped me to choose the right one. That is why I had to write this review. Mr. Doyel is the perfect lawyer for your task ahead. When I went to see him for my fi...rst consultation, he immediately put me at ease about my situation. He explained in detail the procedure we would take and answered all questions and concerns I had. He showed me how simple, easy, and quick my problem could be handled and what I can say is, he did not disappoint. Everything he explained about the procedure happened just as he said it would. Mr Doyel and his staff are very professional. They also make you feel at ease and are sincerely interested in helping you. After seeing Mr. Doyel and his staff on my first visit, my anxiety disappeared because of how well everything was explained. If you are looking for a professional lawfirm with a kind heart for your situation then look no further because you have found them.
