Review Michael Spiegel

Went Above and Beyond!

Posted by

Thank You simply isn’t enough! I have my little girl and Mike made certain to protect my assets. This was a complete mess full of lies and in the end Mike made certain that the truth prevailed. Also pulled off a last second settlement leaving me more than grateful. Best, JC

Very Conscientious!

Mr. Spiegel was very helpful in guiding me through my dissolution of marriage. He showed patience's and understanding through this emotional process and provided point on legal advice, in a caring manner. His staff was just as supportive and provided the necessary follow-up needed with my legal issues.

Great Divorce and Family Attorney

Posted by

As a law enforcement officer, I have known Mike for years. When the time came for me to hire an attorney to assist with my divorce I immediately reached out to Mike. Mike and his staff were great to me and my ex-wife. The communication was great and they clearly explained every step of the process. Mike has handled a few of my friends needs and they had a great experience with Mike and his staff. I would highly recommend Mike if you are going through a divorce or need a family attorney.

Outstanding Divorce Attorney

Posted by

My divorce process was about 3/4 complete and my previous divorce attorney and I terminated our relationship. I inquired about other attorneys and found Mr. Spiegel. He helped me turned my entire case around! I received a very favorable outcome and I owe it to Michael. He's extremely professional, knows the law and most importantly will fight for you when things get dirty!

Honest and Aggressive Family Lawyer

Posted by

Mr. Spiegel handled my amended modification. The most important item that I would like to address is that Mike is very honest and sets realistic expectations the first time he met with me. He did a superb job of presenting our case and staying within the strengths of our case to present to the judge. I cannot recommend enough the professionalism, determination, aggressiveness and hard work that Mike applied to our case. Although we were not able to predict the final judgment I feel we were successful with our objective. I asked 3 different attorneys who I should used before our case started and all 3 recommended Mike Spiegel. I highly recommend Mr. Spiegel for any divorce, modification or family legal matter you might encounter. Thanks Mike!

Exceeded all expectations

Posted by

Mike represented me through a divorce. He and his staff were very knowledgeable, helpful, and very prompt in all communication with me. They knew all the ins and outs of these types of cases and helped me get a very fair and reasonable outcome. They were able to guide me through a few things to make this less stressful on my family through this time. I highly recommend Mike and his staff for your legal needs. Thank you Spiegel Law.

Amazing!

Posted by

Mike went above and beyond! Very quick response time to emails and phone calls! Kept in constant contact with me every step of the way. Spiegel Law Firm got us the money we were owed from an auto accident on our property very quickly even though we originally were told by the other parties insurance company that we would not be receiving any compensation from them!

Look No Further

Posted by

I cannot imagine an Attorney who works as fast and is such a quick study. His legal skills are beyond exceptional. These skills resulted in a civil case rightly being dismissed. He actually read through a very lengthy and complicated report and extracted evidence that was irrefutable. It took eight hours -would have taken anyone else at least two days. Good guy who earns every penny and then some.

Great Representation

He was wonderful to work with. He guided us through a difficult situation. I won't want to go through what we had to, but if I needed a lawyer again, I would hire him in a heart beat.

Mr. Spiegel is an excellent attorney with exceptional trial skills, having tried hundreds of cases all the way back to his days as a prosecutor. He is not afraid to take your case to trial if need be. He's a straight shooter and will tell you the strengths and weaknesses of your case. He understands the needs of domestic clients and the pains they are going through, and works hard to get you the best result possible.
