Very satisfied with Michael Lee's services

From the opening consultation through the final court date for my divorce, Michael Lee handled my case with a great level of professionalism. He put me at ease in how he answered my questions and emails. He was straightforward on what to expect and what the costs would likely be. He actually kept t...he bill slightly under his estimate. I enjoyed talking to both he and Lara McInerney. They are both quality people. I highly recommend them both if you looking for a lawyer to handle your divorce or other issues. I had consulted another top lawyer before going to Michael Lee and for me the decision was easy to hire Michael Lee. I was in a bind and needed a consultation that day. He met with me within 20 minutes of my call and offered a free consultation.

Satisfied

Mike was very responsive to me. Laid out the situation well in the pre-divorce issues and the divorce settlement issues. He and his partner don't use para's or office aides so I was always able to talk directly to him. He was always responsive. His fees were more than fair and I never felt over bi...lled.

Happy

I was kept up to date on what was going on and what i needed to do. He was up front with the cost and his claim on how much it normally cost was right on. I got all i wanted out of the case. If i ever had a question and would e-mail or call he always was quick to answer. Overall if need be i will ...go back to him.

Divorce papers

Michael handled my divorce quickly and streamlined the process for me in a way I could understand. He was very attentive to all my questions during the process.

Child custody case

Mike was very helpful. I was in a hurry and he processed this request asap and made my first experience working with a lawyer a very pleasurable one. The 'good' rather than 'excellent' rating for the knowledgeable category was only because he could not guarantee an outcome for my case because it incl...uded some circumstances that were novel to him - but his honesty and clear rationale for probable outcome gave me confidence, and he more than lived up to that expectation.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
