Miguel Antonio Ortiz

Mr. Ortiz was recommended to me by a family friend. This friend said that he was the best divorce lawyer in town. I read all of these negative reviews about him, but disregarded them based on the testimony of this family friend. I cannot overstate what a huge mistake that was. Every word of these neg...ative reviews is accurate. I felt completely alone, filling out all the divorce paperwork without any guidance from the man to whom I had paid thousands of dollars to represent me. He never notified me about anything to the point where I had to hear about court dates from the woman I was trying to divorce. He never shared with me any court filings regarding the case, even after I repeatedly asked to see them. He treated requests for clarification and assistance with nothing short of disdain. On the rare occurrence that he did take my calls to answer questions, he did so in the most condescending manner possible. He would say things like "I don't even know why you're asking me this. These things are very straightforward. You could figure it out yourself if you stopped over thinking it." and do anything to get off the phone as quickly as possible while providing as little actual legal advice as possible. I was filling out paperwork while terrified that my wife was going to take away my access to my children, and the man treated my questions like nothing more than an annoyance and an inconvenience. When I pointed out that the manner in which he was answering my questions was offending me, he blew up, yelled at me, and quit representing me on the spot. One month out from divorce proceedings he abandoned me because I dared to point out that I didn't think he was treating me professionally. After hiring him, I am unquestionably worse off than I was before. I beg you, for your own sake, do NOT hire this man.

We had the pleasure of having Miguel Oritz represent us with our child custody case. He was extremely caring, personable, knowledgeable, professional, and best of all straightforward. Through out the entire time of service, he was always responsive and made time for office appointments. One of the m...ost valuable lessons we've learned is the need for an attorney who pays attention to details, thinks not only about the present, but the impact your current decisions will have in the future. Miguel does that! I’m not sure he sleeps much but his work ethic is on point! His team is just as supportive and responsive!

He is a scam artist in all aspects. He sells himself as a caring honorable individual who served in the Army and is willing to help out a fellow veteran, but dont be fooled by his scam. He took my money did the bare minimum, He never informed me about anything no matter how many times I would call or... show up at his office. My court date was a surprice since I had to find out from my daughter the day before. He showed up late which really was appreciated by the Judge and finally he just stood there staring blankly. The divorce decree is half hand written and is so broad there might have been no decree at all. I have lost visitation time and my relationship with my daughter thanks Mr. Ortiz.

Several times I was not informed that I had a court date set. My babys father would ask me why we are going to court in a couple of days and of course I didn't even know we were scheduled to go to court. I'll call the office and not get a response. It's not unusual to wait days or weeks before someon...e calls me back!! Miguel is good in court. He knows how to represent you and very knowledgeable. But what if my babys dad never told me about court? Then I wouldve been absent for my hearing over my custody of my baby!!!!
