DONT HIRE HIM! He will keep your money and not do the job!!

I am begging you NOT to hire him. He is basically taking people's money. He will NOT communicate. He will try to use legal jargon as to why he could not do something. Please dont be scared of him. File complaints with the State Bar of Texas: https://www.texasbar.com/

BOO

terrible job. he bailed on my case just weeks before going to court because he "didn't have time" for it. feels very unprofessional to me. don't make a commitment to a client and then pull out at the last moment. wish i could give zero stars.

Highly Recommend

I have nothing but good things to say about Michael! He was honest, straightforward, and extremely knowledgeable. I would strongly recommend anyone going through a divorce or custody battle to hire him! As a father in Texas, it is not often that we get custody, but when you have an attorney who will ...fight for you and knows the law, things become a lot easier. I could not have chosen a better attorney and you would be wise to do the same.
