High Conflict cases

If you are facing a high-conflict custody case, Michael Busby is the lawyer you want on your side. My case had been open for nine years without resolution. After hiring him, he developed a clear strategy and was able to resolve the case in just 10 months. His legal expertise, Marine Corps discipli...ne, and strategic approach made a huge difference. His team is also excellent and very supportive throughout the entire process. What truly sets him apart is that he not only understands the law and the court system, but he also shows genuine empathy and understanding for families going through very difficult situations. I highly recommend him to anyone dealing with a challenging custody case or when children are involve.

Got me exactly what he promised

I was in a relationship with a possessive man for about 7 years. He was very conservative and old fashioned. We started dating in our early twenties. As the relationship started to sour, he forced me out of our residence and kept all of my belongings, because he was not getting his way. In the en...d, I got most of my belongings back, undamaged and I got my freedom. Mike stated that most of us (men) are possessive and selfish and do not see it, until we turn 40. He admitted most women are smarter than men, but put in a disclaimer that men adjust as they age, and become much more considerate of those close to them. Divorce is not a good thing, but neither is being in a relationship where the couple does not communicate as a team anymore. Mike broke the relationship down to 1. Finances, 2. Romance 3. Parenting 4. Physical relationship (sex) and 5. Chores and Duties, fortunately I had no children with my ex. The divorce took over 1 year, as a result of the games my ex played in the courts. In the end, it was bitter sweet, winning some hearings and loosing others. Mike knows the system, and is not a miracle man, but he is prepared and ready to present your case, in the best light.

Good experience with Mike

I hired Mike and his staff for a divorce. I had a business with my husband for 10 years. My husband spent large sums of money on women and drinking. Mike was able to trace the amount that my husband spent and get the judge to give me a larger share of the business. It turned out to be about 65 to 35 ...in my favor. Mike is a good trial lawyer. I will give him that, sometimes he is vulgar in his analogies but still a good attorney.

Great lawyer with military law experience(USCMJ)

I'm a U.S navy sailor station overseas that had a divorce here In Houston Texas. I had now where to to run for help until a family friend recommended Mike Busby. I called him during my working hours European standard time meaning late evening here in Houston, mr Busby is very knowledgeable in regar...ds to military law as he is with family law. So after two hours of talking on the phone for free with mike, he came up with a game plan to assist me the best way possible until I got back home with my divorce. Once here the battle was long and hard, most of the time looking bad on my side but mr Busby never gave up on me. Now I have full custody of my two girls without any geographical restrictions or any restrains whatsoever. I have my military career still and full benefits for my girls and I thanks to Mike Busby and his team.

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
