The best choice I made

A year and a half ago I filed for divorce and hired a cheap attorney not knowing anything about how difficult this journey would be that I was embarking on. After a month into my divorce I realized quickly that this would be immensely difficult and had doubts. In family law it is absolutely true that... you get what you put in. I found Mike through word of mouth, another success story, and dropped the first attorney as fast as I could. I am forever grateful I did. My divorce was intensely complex with a multi-generational custody battle split four ways and Mike navigated through it all. He was always fair, always realistic and demonstrated integrity where the opposing council failed repeatedly. He represented me in hearing after hearing, mediation after mediation and finally a week long trial against two other attorney's and a pro-se. He was relentless, factual, professional and compassionate. He never lost sight of what is obtainable, fair and most importantly what is in the best interest of my children. Ultimately we succeeded beyond my expectations and while it largely depends on your independent case, having Mike as your attorney will be one of the best decisions through this process you can make. Mike's experience and knowledge in this practice is second to none. He brings tenacity and integrity to the court room that I have not seen before or since. You deserve the best shot at putting your life back together in the strongest way possible. Mike is the person you want standing beside you as you go through this.

Family Attorney that Always has Family's Best Interests in Mind~

Mr. Von Blon has been my attorney for 5 years. I have had several court situations come up with my ex-husband concerning the children. Any time I have had a question or concern, Mr. Von Blon has emailed or come to the phone to put my mind at ease. Mr. Von Blon is fair and a straight shooter when it c...omes to telling you the reality of a court outcome. If he cannot assist you, then he will point you in the directions of who can or advise you on what to pursue. I have never felt as though he was not the right fit for me and my family. I highly recommend him to be your attorney at the most difficult time in your life.

Mike kept my children in Houston and did so with integrity to my ex.

I came to know Mike by referral. I had interviewed someone else but I didn't want someone who was looking to destroy my ex-wife. I wanted a fair outcome for all involved and resolved amicably. Mike is not only as good of an attorney as I have ever had but I've grown to respect him as a person and his... moral compass and faith. He always recommended we do things in a way that would reduce his hours spent on my case. That is pretty unheard of. I entrusted Mike initially with my divorce and then my decree modification. Both involved the fate of the location and custody of my children and he kept my family together in Houston and did it in a way that my ex-wife and I's relationship now is truly a miracle.

FAMILY LAW

Exceptional family attorney who is very knowledgeable of the law and passionate about his clients situations. Mike attempts to reach the best possible agreement for his clients to avoid going to court. Mike is truly out for the best interest of your child and will give you the best possible legal adv...ice to get the best possible outcome for your child or children. Mike was my attorney during two very difficult trials in which I was able to win primary custody as a father. He is dedicated, honest, professional, and an attorney of the upmost integrity. I recommend him to anyone who is facing a difficult divorce or custody battle .

Attorney for You !!!

Mr. Von Blon is a wonderful attorney with well read knowledge of the law inside and out. He helped me understand how the law worked each step of the way as well as his availability when necessary. I found Mr. Von Blon to be not only an excellent attorney but a wonderful human being as well. This cas...e was that of great depth and difficulty, being that of the paternal grandmother. Mr. Von Blon worked tirelessly and expediently in efforts to obtain the best outcome from my grandchild. I would highly recommend Mr. Von Blon's to any person in search of legal assistance in his field(s) of expertise.

"I give Mike Von Blon my highest endorsement. He is an excellent lawyer. I have known him for over 20 years and we have worked together before on multiple legal matters. In my experience, he always provides the highest quality work, dedication to his client's best interest, a thorough understanding of the law, sharp analysis, and a realistic approach to deal with things the way they really are. I have referred clients to him in the past and expect to do so in the future. All the reports that I have received from such clients are very positive. One of Mike's great skills is to listen to his clients and really understand their goals. He is an effective advocate with excellent communications skills. He is also efficient with his time and his client's money. He is the type of lawyer you want to have in your corner when the going gets tough."
