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 s...ome 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!

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% committe...d to your best interest, he is the man for the job.

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 mo...st 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.

The 4.0 reviews are wrong and avvo won’t let me publish the truth

This lawyer was hired by me for my complicated child custody case. I am a physician and a forgein graduate. I didn’t know the laws when I got a divorce so there were no divorce agreement and my ex is also a physician. I was in residnecy and for fellowship I left my son with my ex but then my ex refus...ed to return him to me so while in Florida I contacted this lawyer seeing reviewed on avvo and hired him. He gave me a lot of hope first the case was to be in Metairie but it got transferred to small city of Thibodaux where my ex husband is and this lawyer did very little work charged me 400 just to drive for final hearing and in that too I just got visitation rights which when I showed to another lawyer told me is all in my exe’s favor. I would not recommend this lawyer he even is taking a long time to withdraw from my case when I requested him to.
