Do not use Michael Thurman or his firm!!

I would not recommend Mr. Thurman to anyone looking for a real estate lawyer. After working with him for 6 months, I spent 4 times more than we were told, and left with nothing to show. His firm continuously gave us the run around when asking questions on where the money was spent. We finally ha...d to pull the plug on working with Michael Thurman and his firm and were left with nothing to show. When we demanded some money back based on false invoicing, we were told we would have to take him to court if we ever wanted any money back from him. He then informed us it would cost us more in attorney fees to try and recoup that money and we should just walk away. He actually laughed when he told us this! From my experience, I would look elsewhere for a real estate attorney firm.

Client

I have been working with Mike Thurman and his staff for several years thorough my business. He and his staff have always been extremely responsive to our business needs and always professional. Mike has been upfront and honest in all of our dealings with him. He will always explain the laws and fo...llows them to the point. He and his staff have represented our business in and out of court. The professional representation we have received has always been remarkable. He and his staff are extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend MIke Thurman to 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.
