TRUSTING CARING AND HONEST WHAT ELSE CAN YOU ASK FOR!

MIKE BUSBY IS MY LAWYER IN A FAMILY LAW CASE.MY CASE IS VERY COMPLICATED..FROM THE VERY START HE ALWAYS LISTENED TO MY CONCERNS AND GAVE THE BEST ADVICE TO ME. MANY TIMES I FELT LIKE GIVING UP OR FRUSTRATED AT THE THINGS HAPPENING BUT I WAS ALWAYS ABLE TO CONTACT HIM ON HIS CELL TO DISCUSE THE ISSUES... I HAD. HE ALWAYS TOLD THE TRUTH AS TO WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN AND I FEEL AS HE WAS TRUELY ON MY SIDE NOT JUST WORKING FOR THE MONEY. HIRING MIKE AFTER 2 1/2 YEARS OF DOING SUPERVISED VISITS WITH MY SON AND GETTING NO WHERE WITH THE OTHER LAWYER. IMMEDIATELY HE FILED A MOTION TO MODIFY VISITATION AND GOT THE JUDGE TO GIVE ME A STEPUP PROGRAM AND NOW I AM THE PRIMARY CARETAKER. STILL NOT DONE WITH EVERYTHING I WANT DONE YET BUT I AM VERY PLEASED WITH WHAT HAS BEEN DONE AND I'M SURE WHEN EVERYTHING IS FINIAL I WILL BE AS PLEASED AS I AM TODAY! THANKS MIKE FOR YOUR HELP

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.
