Outstanding Service

I went to Michael to request assistance with a name change. My circumstances were unusual to say the least but Michael was patient during the process and never let me down. I can't thank him enough. I will definitely refer him for legal services.

Posted by Cameron | October 19, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

Child Support Case

Michael got me joint custody of my son whom I've been trying to see for over a year because his mother wasn't letting me see him. Not only did Michael get me joint custody but I also didn't have to pay back child support. Michael's services were far better than what I initially thought they were goin...g to be. I highly recommend Michael and his legal team for any issues you might be having or have in the future regarding cases like mine. 5 stars.

Absolutely Goes Above and Beyond

Michael took over my case from another attorney. My divorce and custody case was being represented in a way that could and would have been overturned, and was just a giant train wreck. Michael caught and addressed every problem and addressed it quickly and diligently. He went above and beyond for me,... and got an amazing order handed down. He was there for every question, concern and freak out. I would recommend him to everyone and anyone.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
