An Amazing Attorney

I hired Mr. Busby in February of 2014 for my divorce. From the first day of meeting with Mr. Busby he was professional and informative. He took time to explain the details of my divorce and what to expect. As most people know, legal wording can be very difficult to understand, however Mr. Busby took... time to answer all of my many questions. Prior, to my first court appearance Mr. Busby debriefed with me and allowed me to even watch a video that his office provides, so I would know what to expect. My ex-wife's lawyer was very unorganized and unprepared, however Mr. Busby remained calm. Michael Busby is very thorough and pointed out mistakes made by my ex wife's lawyer on several occasions. The process of my divorce was drawn out, because of the lack organization on the opposing side, however Mr. Busby and his staff went the extra mile in always keeping me informed about court dates and other information. Mr. Busby always had encouraging words and supported me when I felt stressed about the divorce. It is not common for men to win in messy custody battles, however with the help of Mike Busby, I was able to win primary guardianship over my son. Hiring Michael Busby was the best decision I could have made. Throughout my divorce Mr. Busby and his staff treated me just like family. I greatly appreciate him and his staff!

Excellent and Afforable

I hired Mr. Busby as my divorce lawyer in 2011. My divorce included a custody battle of two preschool girls. In all occasions he provided accurate information in a professional manner. At no time during the divorce was I lead on that the outcome would favor me. This can be a hard realization, but at ...a confusing and trying time I can say that honest and clear information is welcomed. His demeanor is passed on through his staff as well. I had never received any legal service prior hiring Michael as my attorney and in the instance that I ever require legal services again, in the fields that he specialize in, I would not think twice to hire him again. My experience included regular meeting and updates on my case. As well as being instructed on how to present myself during the trial. I feel this payed off hugely during the trial. There were several instances that I was instructed not do or say certain things that I saw my ex-wife do and the reaction from the judge was not favorable to her. Just being prepared for the trail was worth the fees alone. Also as a trial lawyer he displayed to me his vast knowledge of the law and experience. I cannot say the same about the lawyer that my ex choose. Only having seen two lawyers in trial in my life I benefited that mine was Michael Busby and not the one that she chose. As it turned out the results were in my favor and he kept what was the most important to me in my life, my children. Also, I would say that in the time of a divorce money is a major factor. Understanding this he makes a divorce possible financially without leaving you financially burdened that you cannot pick up the pieces of your life and move forward. I would highly recommend anyone that is unfortunately having to end a marriage to utilize his his experience and skills to help protect you and your family.

UNPROFESSIONAL

His office filed my case under the wrong name. I called the district clerk's office to verify if my case was filed and the clerk's office couldn't find it, because it was filed under the wrong name. When I questioned Bugsby about it, and told him I would seek another legal counsel because I wasn't... satisfied with his services, he refused to have the documents amended and said he was done with my case.

Relationships that are being dissolved many times cause emotion and stress to rise. I always give my clients a list of marriage counselors an advise them that I am not a marriage counselor, and that they should be certain this is what they want to do. When someone hires me, and I file their case, then they change their mind, the clerk of the court is not going to refund the filing fee. My staff that help me prepare the case, are not going to expect not to get paid after they prepare the paperwork, office depot is not going to refund the paper and file that were used to make a file for the client. Hasty decisions are sometimes made, which cause the client then to reconsider the prosecution of the divorce. This is what happened here. Someone wanted to file, then wanted to hold, then wanted to prosecute all in about 5 weeks, and then finally had the case dismissed without getting a divorce. When she snapped her finger the first 3 times, I jumped, when she accused me of having never filed her case, after sending her all of the paperwork, I understood then, that this person had capacity issues. God could not please this woman, but the devil will torment her. My name is Busby not Bugsby.
