Real testimony review

Mr. Conroy and his team understands what they're doing when it comes to laws. I was extremely lost on what to do before I hired him. He fought 2 long years in a brutual custody distpute, amoung handling intricate rulings against me such as 2 ex partes, mental evaluation. I lost my kids twice due to some poor decisions myself by going back to an ex who would film/record me, used previous diagnosis to pin me as unstable, tried to use stolen texts messages, and social media accounts. To top it off, I was an out of state client fighting this custody case from over 1,000 miles away against my exs Super Lawyer as representation. In the end, he believed in me, never gave up, and won my case; which allowed me to relocate with my kids in my home state as dolcimary parent. Coming from two years of working with him, I can assure you there is no better personal attorney who cares. For him this isn't just a paycheck, he truly cares for his clients that cannot be found elsewhere. I as a client did not make his job easy, such as not listening to his advice on a few occasions and still he stuck it out with me till the end. If you hire him, he will never give up on you; I promise no matter how hard the dispute. Him and his team will find the right motions, solutions, and legal advice to win your case. I was ready to give up on a few occasions and without him saying, "I know who you are, I believe in you, okay we'll get you through this"; I really dont believe I'd be here with my kids. For me Conroy is like family and a blessing by God! My exs well known Super Lawyer was no match to Mr. Conroys knowledge in practicing law. An attorney practicing for 30 years showed in court, when it came to my complex case. I cannot express enough how highly I recommend him, this is your attorney!

Divorce Attorney Gets Job Done

I hired Mr. Conroy after interviewing 4 other attorneys both on the southshore and northshore. Being on the northshore was an added bonus for me. I can not thank him enough for the recommendation of the accountant he directed me to use throughout the legal process. The two of them got the job done for me. After three years, my case is finally settled. The person who walked out on me did NOT get the alimony he wanted, did NOT get my personal business, did NOT get the extra money he thought he was entitled. Mr. Conroy has a strong support staff who is willing to go the extra mile to make you feel comfortable and let you know that everything will be OK. A very special "THANK YOU" to Clara.

This man saved my family

After 5 years of fighting with my ex husband and ex MIL out of court I finally forced their hand and took my children back. Then i was blindsided by an exparte by my ex MIL trying to take my kids from me and spread lies about me to the court and the judge. She went after my character she went below the belt and fought dirty. But when I found Michale Conroy i was a mess, I had no knowledge of what to do or where to start. This nice wonderful man sat me down and explained to me what we could do and what we should do. He guided me and told me to be strong. He never made me feel I was going to lose or that what was happening to me wasnt crazy or right. He was so kind to me and gave me the confidence I needed to face that person in court and win back my children. Even if it was a very strange case he never gave up on me. Took my calls whenever I had a question or concern. He is a wonderful attorney who stood up for me when I didn't know how to. I would highly recommend this man to anyone who needs a extraordinary educated lawyer who has an in-depth knowledge of our local perishes and knows the law and your rights. He will fight hard for you. Hire this man and his staff because they treated me like I was the only client even though I knew I wasn't. 10/10

The best local atty

Mr Conroy is a very patient and diligent attorney. My mother had an interdiction case and very difficult family dynamics. Mr. Conroy was always available day or night through all of the family turmoil. He was prepared and very professional. However, he was warm and kind as well as going the extra mile to help our family heal. I recommend this attorney he has a great reputation and he gets great results. He offers a personal touch that is rare in his profession.

Helped with my mother that was severely mentally ill.

He was so caring and helped me figure out what to do in the difficult and painful process of having my elderly mother committed for her own health and safety. Before Mr. Conroy I had no idea what I was going to do or how I was going to help her. He led me all the way and was extremely caring.

The Real Deal

Michael represented me in my custody case. He truly cares about the best interest of the child and will stand behind you 100%. Michael does not play around, he is straight to the point. If you are honest with him he will get the job done right the first time. If you want a lawyer who is 100% committed to your best interest, he is the man for the job.

Super lawyer of the Year in my book

After finding Mr. Conroy's profile online, I consulted with him. He is the real deal. He explained all my options in regards to my child support case. He enlightened me with information my present attorney failed to inform. He then proceeded to help me devise a game plan. When I thought there was no light at the end of the tunnel he showed me there was. I can not begin to explain how impressed I was, I just pray he recognized my humble appreciation. Take it from me, if you need a Super Lawyer in regards to family law, Mr. Conroy is it.

Honest and compassionate

Going through something as difficult as a divorce or a child custody dispute can be extremely traumatic. I have been through both with Mr. Conroy and throughout there was never any doubt in my mind that he truly cared to see the best outcome for all concerned. He is literally one of the finest and most decent men I have ever met. Words cannot express the gratitude I have for his caring and compassionate handling of my affairs and I would not hesitate to use his services in the future if needed, or recommend him to anybody in need of professional handling of their family concerns. One in a million.

Very good family law attorney

I hired Michael to help me adjust my custody agreement with my ex. Going into this case I had filed for a change of custody in WA state. When she found out my ex had a civil warrant filed to remove the kids from my home and wanted to put sanctions on me for "violating our custody agreement". Michael had a huge mess on his hands. After everything was said and done I got everything I wanted out of the case. He was very helpfull and knowlegable throughout the entire case. My only issue was that he was very expensive but when it came to getting my kids he was worth every penny.

Family Law

Michael Conroy was hired with a daunting complicated family issue. He worked very diligent and timely in solving the matter. My work life as a health care professional is stressful and the though in dealing with the complex family issues was overwhelming. Michael assured me from the beginning of the cases that he would handle the matters and keep me updated. He is extremely trustworthy and possesses impeccable judgment! His staff is just as kind and efficient. Michael is an excellent attorney.

Exceptional Lawyer and Person

Mr. Conroy is not only an exceptional lawyer, he is also a caring person. My situation was very complicated especially in the aftermath. My husband and I were going through a divorce and the night we went to mediation, it didn't go very well and my husband threatened my life and then threatened his own. Mr. Conroy had a police escort me out of the building and made sure that I made it home safely to collect some belongings and get out of the house for that evening. Well that night I feel I saved me and my children's lives as that night my husband did take his own life. Mr. Conroy went above and beyond his job as an attorney. I would definitely recommend him for anything needed that pertains to the law. His assistant Ms. Clara is also awesome.

An attorney who changed my impression of lawyers

Attorney Conroy has exemplified professionalism, integrity and expertise in all of my interactions with him. I've been self-employed for many years, and have had interactions with over 30 attorneys, in the course of my business. He is the first attorney who has consistently exhibited professional behavior and quick responses to my legal issues. Mr. Conroy has helped reduce the stress of a property settlement from a divorce. I am fortunate and grateful for his legal representation.

Client Review for Michael Conroy

Michael's courtroom professionalism combined with his knowledge for family law makes him stand out from the rest! Besides his courtroom mannerisms he listens to his clients. I was able to ask him any question, disclose any embarrassing issue, and just be myself without fear of judgment or even an odd look. Although, my case had some legal difficulties Michael gave me all of my options upfront and worked diligently with me to get my case completed as quickly as possible. I was very pleased with his service and would highly recommend him.

Very unprofessional

Seemed more interested in my marital status than my family law concerns. Most consults are to address the case and make clients confident in their plans to help. Did not get that professional response I was hoping for and I wouldn't recommend him. He just didn't ask the right questions to even seem capable.
