Michael William Hanten's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Professional. Respect the work he has done for veterans."
"I enthusiastically endorse this lawyer. I have done several mediations where he is one of the attorneys. He is always prepared and is a strong advocate for his client. I wish every lawyer that came to me to mediate was as prepared as Mr. Hanten. If you have a family law problem, I would definitely call him. He is no nonsense but very professional and thorough. He knows his cases when he comes to my office. I might not settle all his cases but it's always a pleasure to work with him."
