Posted by Carl | February 25, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Child Support

Child support court

Michael went above and beyond to represent me. He never judged me once, and fought for me the entire time. I have been dealing with child support court for over 15 years, believe it or not Michael actually got me a refund when the AOG took more than they agreed to. Michael is fair and affordable. ... I have been represented by many lawyers, Michael is the only one that earned my trust and the outcome was satisfactory. As a noncustodial parent, I am realistic as to what will happen in court, many other lawyers have blown smoke up my backside. Michael was honest even when i didn't want him to be. Hire this gentleman, you will not be disappointed!!

Amazing Lawyer

I hired Michael to help with my divorce I was pro se so I had already done all of the paperwork. Problem was the wait to have a court date to finalize my divorce was over 4 months I had already waited my 90days from filing. Michael was able to get me divorced the same day I met him. He was courteous ...and very understanding and he charged the lowest out of any lawyer I could find. I would and have recommended Michael to anyone I’ve know needing legal assistance. Michael is awesome.

Best Dressed

I hired Michael to go after my son's father for child support and i can say it was one of the best decisions i could have made. Straight up he tells you how it is and wont sugar coat anything. On our first court day Michael came more prepared than the other lawyer and actually caused my Ex to get so ...embarrassed and upset that he fired his lawyer right there and had to hire a new one. In the end i got exactly what i wanted and then some and didnt go broke doing it.

Custody/Child Support

I was looking at several lawyers before using Michael for my child custody case. Everyone made it sound like it was a great big case (aka high cost) due to being out of Corpus Christi. Michael did it with ease, great attitude and expertise. He got it done! I'm so grateful and happy that Michael t...ook my case and went above and beyond. I would certainly refer him to family and friends.

Great experience

Hiring Mr de la Garza was the best thing I did.. Of course he was referred to me by a close friend that also used him.. im glad I listened. He was always up front and Honest and didn't just tell me what I wanted to hear.. He always called when he said he would and did his job better then expected.. ...I was trying to get custody of my son and Mr de la Garza did that plus gave me my life back... Mr de la Garza was very professional and knowledge in and out of court.. He also dressed sharp and was ready for a fight in court if needed.. The price was very reasonable being that they are a top notch law firm, in my opinion.. With no doubt, I know who iim calling if I ever need a lawyer again... Thanks again Mr. Michael de la Garza...
