Your The Best!

Best phone call I ever made. Referred to Craig by another friend of mine to call as he is really good. That's exactly what I was needing as I was filing for divorce. Craig met with me on a initial consultation, listened to my story and discussed the legal issues. Explained to me how the law and court... process works. I hired him! Kept me informed, answered all my questions, what our next step would be and timeframes we are looking at. I am happy and satisfied with the outcome. Craig's honesty, integrity and probity prevailed. I definitely would recommend Craig Michalk to anyone needing a Powerhouse Attorney!

Craig is great!

I have been using Craig for several years now for an ongoing custody battle with my ex-wife. This is the guy to go to if you need someone who will not charge you for every little thing. He knows what he is doing and will shoot straight with you. If you need a great lawyer who will get the job done fo...r you, he is the man!

Craig Michalk

I have hired Craig over the years to handle my child support case and he has never let me down. He did an excellent job of listening to me and giving me all the facts as opposed to just what I wanted to hear. I have and will continue to recommend Craig to anyone needing assistance with a divorce or... child support matter.

I retained Craig to represent me for my divorce case. He and his staff did an outstanding job. I would highly recommend him for anyone who needs top notch representation.

"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Mr. Michalk many years. We have been on opposite sides of several cases over the years. I have always found him to be prepared and a strong advocate for his client as well as always being prepared in court. Perhaps the strongest endorsement is perhaps when a fellow attorney refers clients to you because that can also reflect on the person who referred you. I have referred several clients and friends to Mr. Michalk and they always have expressed their gratitude for putting them in touch with Mr. Michalk."

"I have known Craig for more than 10 years. We have been on the opposing sides of a case and have worked together on cases in which one of us was the ad litem. It is great to work with Craig. He knows the law, and knows the facts to his cases. He is always prepared. Craig has the temperament to deal with family law matters. I highly recommend him."

"Craig is one of the most knowledgeable, conscientious and hardworking family lawyers I have ever known. I have recommended several clients to him since I stopped practicing family law, and they have all been very satisfied with his representation. It is a testament to the quality of his legal services that many of his clients have returned with new cases after he has represented them once. I wholeheartedly recommend Craig to anyone seeking representation by a first-rate family attorney."
