This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

He was very professional and pro-active in a very intense case

Michael was always thinking ahead for us cause we were dealing with a defendant who clearly knew the legal system and had done this before. Michael would communicate with us and keep us posted at all times and he would explain everything so we could understand it, many times attorneys will talk in th...eir own language and you don;'t understand anything......not the case with Michael. I really appreciate him breaking things down so we couls understand what was happening with the case. He also does NOT drag on the case he does everything he can to wrap it up which is very refreshing. I've had many attorneys that seem to keep filing paperwork that just extends the case and I just keep paying lawyer fees, Michael is NOT that guy.

Michael Wambolt, Attorney at Law

I simply cannot express enough how much Michael Wambolt helped me through a very difficult time in my life. My mom has brain cancer whom I now fully take care of full-time. I was taken advantage of by a corporation and lost my vehicle as a result. I panicked. My vehicle is used to take my mom to doct...or's appointments, hospitals, and to pick up her cancer medications. Within only two months of Michael filing a lawsuit on my behalf, he successfully reached a settlement with the defendant corporation. I will soon get my life back (car) due to Micheal's unstoppable determination to fight for my rights. Micheal not only has knowledge in bankruptcy law but also consumer rights law. He truly cares, you will always receive a returned email. You will always receive honestly and kindness from him. I highly recommend hiring Michael Wambolt.
