The best of the best!

I am going through a complex custody battle. Michael knows when to go in guns blazing, but only when necessary. He will fight like hell for you even if it’s an uphill battle. He is very attentive to detail, and will pick apart the details until the truth is revealed. He’s aggressive when need be, but... on the other hand so, so kind. He knows the law, unlike several other attorneys that I’ve encountered, and will quickly call out and explain his objection. Not once has the judge disagreed with his argument in our case. It’s not over until it’s over with Michael. He has helped in the past, and he is not , IMO, rough around the edges. He’s very compassionate in what he does. He will hug you when needed, but also be honest with you. He’s not a pushy attorney, and will often tell you to think about it before hiring him. I love this about him! Rhonda and Tamara are also a great help! I’ll continue to use Michael, and if you’re in the midst of an impending custody/divorce issue; I suggest that you do too!

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.
